What do you mean by left-behind women?

Left-behind women, also known as left-behind wives, refer to women who live alone or with other family members on the household registration after their husbands go out.

With the acceleration of reform, opening up and urbanization, the population mobility in China is increasing. In the process of transferring rural labor force to cities, there is a group of left-behind women in rural areas because the main part of the migrant labor force is men, and the elderly, women and children stay at their household registration places. They have endured the loneliness of being separated from their husbands for many years, guarding an acre of land at home, supporting the elderly and taking care of their children, and shouldering the burden of the whole family. They are called "left-behind women".

real life

In the real production and life in rural areas from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 20th century, thousands of left-behind women in rural areas of Qian Qian suffered hardships and responsibilities, mainly as follows:

First, the labor intensity is high. Men go out to work, leaving only the March 8th, June 1st and September 9th troops in the countryside (respectively from Women's Day on March 8th, Children's Day on June 1st and Double Ninth Festival on September 9th), and almost all the menial work, heavy work, busy work and leisure work at home are on the shoulders of "left-behind women".

Second, the mental burden is heavy. The husband has been away for many years, and the "left-behind women" bear the double burden of body and mind. I haven't had sex for a whole year and live like a "widow"; The room was deserted, without a trace of masculinity. At night, there is only loneliness and the sound of insects and frogs. Dare not talk to the men in the village during the day, for fear of being gossiped;

The city is a world of flowers and flowers, and it is normal for my husband to be tempted to work outside. In case he leaves his wife and children, he will have nothing. Third, lack of security Due to the absence of husbands and the poor security situation in rural areas, "left-behind women" generally lack security.
