Why are the desolate yards uninhabited in the countryside?

There are three main reasons why the yards in the countryside are desolate and uninhabited:

1) Young people work outside the home.

As life in the countryside becomes more and more difficult, it is difficult for young people to make a living by farming, so more and more people choose to work in factories along the coast. After working and living outside all year round, the old family's house was uncared for, and the yard that was once alive gradually became desolate. When I come back in a few years and see these dilapidated yards, I am even more reluctant to live here.

2) Urbanization is accelerating.

In addition to the reasons mentioned in the first point, urbanization is now accelerating, so that more people in rural areas who can afford to live and work in towns not far from their hometowns are choosing to live and work in peace and contentment. As people lived outside, the yard fell into disrepair, and there was no one living in the desolate yard.

3) Limited economic capacity.

Not all people who go out to work can make a name for themselves out there. A considerable number of people, even if they have worked outside the home for seven or eight years or even longer, have little money left except for the daily expenses of living and the payment of children's education expenses. Even if you want to repair the house in your hometown, you will not repair and take care of it because you rarely go home to live and have limited financial ability.

In this way, the yard was also deserted.

In my surroundings, that's mostly the case. There is an uncle who went out to wander when he was very young, and now the whole family lives in the city, and the yard of his hometown is not taken care of all year round. Only during the Qingming Festival, the Spring Festival, or when there is a happy event in the village, one or two representatives of the hometown will be sent to participate in affairs.

As soon as the matter was over, he returned to the city overnight. The eldest uncle's family has been fully integrated into the life of the city, and the life in the countryside has only become the memories of the eldest uncle's generation, and the younger generation has no concept of rural life.

If you like it, remember to like it.

With the reform and opening up in recent years, the life in the countryside is gradually improving, so there are a large number of idle houses, vacant houses, desolate houses, etc. in the countryside. <>

1- Worry about bad luck.

In many rural areas, there is still the influence of a feudal ideology, or the influence of some concepts, there will be some people because others do not want to live in the house or empty courtyard, worried about unclean, evil, bad luck, afraid of bringing mold to themselves, so there are desolate vacant houses in the countryside that no one lives in. <>

2- The desolate yard is difficult to take care of.

Everyone knows that in the countryside, once the courtyard is desolate for too long, there will be excessive overgrown weeds in the courtyard, including rats and other things in the house. It is very troublesome to clean up, and it takes a lot of effort and time, so as long as there is a deserted yard in the countryside, no one wants to live in it for a long time.

3- Too many rural people go to the city to work, and there are a lot of idle houses.

With the development of our country over the years, the economic living standards of the entire rural areas have also improved year by year, and many people have basically abandoned the rural areas to work and buy houses in the cities, and have settled their families in the cities after a long time. Therefore, after a large number of rural migrant workers go to the city for a period of time, as long as they can bear hardships and stand hard work, they can earn money, buy houses, and settle down, so there are a lot of courtyards in the countryside. <>

4- A lot of houses are controlled, and many courtyards can't be lived, not to mention those desolate courtyards.

The area of hell in the countryside is relatively relaxed, not as compact as the city, and the economy is a little more relaxed, all of which will be in their own homesteads.

There is another house next to it. As a result, the new houses are not inhabitable, so why live in those desolate courtyards? So in the countryside there are a lot of desolate yards.

First of all, let me say what I think.

1) Social and economic development, the development of urbanization, the rise of more and more private enterprises, at this time the need for more and more manpower, more and more rural young people gather in the city, and the price of agricultural products is cheap, farmers in the harvest after a hard year, sometimes not enough to work in the city for a month's income.

2) In contrast, more and more people are coming to the city to work. After a long time and getting used to city life, I can't get used to it when I go back to planting crops, and growing crops is not an easy job.

3) Rural areas are not as convenient as cities in many ways (of course, the air quality is still better than that of rural areas), especially in education, medical care, etc. Although the construction of new rural areas is constantly being promoted, and roads have been built to the doorsteps of each family, it is very difficult to achieve in some very backward and remote rural areas, because every household is very far away, and the cost of road construction is particularly large. <>

Secondly, let's talk about a few reasons why the yard is unoccupied.

1) Most people work in the city to earn money, and when they go back to their hometown to build a new house, they will basically not build it in the original place, they will choose a place closer to the town or a place with a relatively dense population, so that the old house is vacant there, and slowly panic there.

2) Children in rural families work or start a successful business in the city, have a small house of their own in the city, get married and have children, at this time, the parents of the basic hometown will be brought to live in the city together, if the location of the rural house is relatively remote, basically no one will take over, and in the end it can only be desolate there.

3) The young and middle-aged people in the family all go to the city to work, leaving the empty nesters, and after the death of the elderly, the people who go to the city to work will not return to their rural hometowns after settling in the city.

To sum up, most people earn money to go home to build new houses, but also in densely populated places or close to towns, or directly stay in the places where they work, and the houses in their hometowns are becoming more and more desolate.

Now when I go to the countryside to visit relatives, I can see that there are basically no young people on the streets, and the rest of the village are old people and children who go to school, and there are only a few people living in the huge courtyards, and even some of the courtyards have been empty and have become particularly desolate houses, although the countryside has a particularly vast land and clean air.

With the continuous development of the economy, more and more talents and labor force choose to go to the city to find the future, there are more opportunities in the city and a valuable opportunity to exercise their own growth, and the talents in the northern cities are also more willing to go to the more developed southern cities to develop, looking for dreams and entrepreneurship.

Not only are the population of many rural areas in China getting smaller and smaller, but many ancient towns and villages in Asia and Europe have also become sparsely populated places, although there are many houses, but no one lives them. An old Japanese woman living in an empty village felt very lonely, so she made the whole village look lively and made a lot of life-size puppets and placed them in various parts of the village. In some deserted villages in Europe, a house can even buy an old house for a dozen euros, and even then no one lives in it.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places", as young people go to work in economically developed areas, the vitality and activity in the village are getting lower and lower, and there is a lot of land in the countryside, so the yards built by everyone are also very spacious. Although the houses are not as beautiful as those in the city, each room is relatively large, which is still very envied by the people in the city, but with the departure of young people, some old people are taken to the city by their children to enjoy happiness, and children are also sent to the town to study. Naturally, the courtyards in the countryside became more and more desolate.

The old people are old, the young people are going out to make a living, and naturally there is no one to take care of the yards in the countryside.

Today's society. Young people are coming out to work hard. There is no one to take care of the house. It's been a long time. No one wants to come back to live in the house.

Judging from our local situation, many houses are not lived in because there are no old people at home, many old people are gone, some have gone abroad with their sons, and they have lived abroad, and the old houses of the family are uninhabited, after all, the son is rich, and the old people must be brought to live in the city, which is also very normal.

Because some families may no longer have the elderly, and the young people have taken their children out to work.

To tell the truth, no one wants to go out to work and leave the houses in the countryside empty, and if the people in the city and the countryside can move freely, maybe the countryside will not be desolate.

There are many reasons, part-time jobs, the elderly are gone, children are studying, and life is compelled.

I can't survive in the countryside anymore.

Where there is a home, there is no home, and where there is no home.

<> returned to his hometown during the Spring Festival last year, a new asphalt road was built on the flood control levee north of the village to lead further afield. Like the young people who went out of the village over the years, they went to the cities further afield. To live, and to live.

However, it is precisely because of these people who left the village that while pursuing a better life, they also paid an irreparable price.

Yards completely overrun by weeds, and shabby houses. The owner of the yard went to the city, did business, and did not return once in several years. I don't know what the yard of their hometown means to them. But one thing is for sure, they still want to come back.

It's also an abandoned yard, but it's not forgotten. Because every Spring Festival, the dilapidated door will still be pasted with bright Spring Festival couplets. The vivid red color contrasts with the rundown.

Those who come back to quietly paste the Spring Festival couplets, what will they think when they paste the Spring Festival couplets?

When I photographed these yards, I kept thinking, how are the people who left the village, how are they doing now? Later, I asked some of the elders in the village, and I learned some news about those who had left.

Some people do business in the city, start a family, buy a house, and become a complete city person. Others, on the other hand, work hard in the city. Because there is really no more economy in the countryside, you can only live in the city, after a long time, the house at home is broken, and the specific farm work is also unfamiliar, and you have become the kind of person who "can't stay in the city, can't go back to the countryside".

The "small temple" at the crossroads in the center of the village, where people who have died in the village usually come to pay their respects. During the New Year's holidays, some old people in the village will also come here to burn incense and bow down to pray for peace.

There are so many childhood memories in this yard, and the best friend of childhood is the owner of this yard. Now, more than 20 years later, my former best friend is now gone.

In fact, the young people of the village went to the city, and the old ones waited. Like these graves standing in the fields of the village, some people are buried here for a long time. People who leave, every time they come back, will feel less waiting and expectation.
