Children in the city, how to provide for the elderly in rural areas?

At present, many rural elderly mainly rely on their children to provide for the elderly. If filial piety declines, a considerable number of rural elderly people may fall into the predicament of "no one to support" and be forced to spend their old age lonely and desolate.

It is gratifying that many places have gradually reactivated the concept of filial piety in the hearts of the younger generation through rural customs construction, filial piety fund and filial piety agreement.

It is worth noting that when rural "empty nest", long-distance separation and intergenerational cohabitation become common family structures, rural pension is not only a social problem, but also an economic proposition. At present, many rural areas are facing the shortcomings of serious shortage of funds, insufficient participation of social forces and poor conditions of nursing homes. It is urgent to fill the shortcomings in various ways.

Through the research and analysis of the grassroots reality, the reporter explored the advanced experience of revitalizing the wisdom of filial piety, and provided some methods worth learning for realizing the "physical and mental support for the elderly" in rural areas.

The "quantified" filial piety agreement provides a guarantee for filial piety.

Respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. The reporter went to Xianju, Zhejiang for many times to investigate the construction of filial piety culture. Perhaps the exploration here can provide a model for solving the problem of filial piety and old-age care in rural areas.

How can the government's advocacy be recognized by farmers? First of all, in the "street public opinion" in rural areas, except for the comparison of who has more money, whoever gives birth to an unfilial son will definitely lift his head in the village. Xianju skillfully grasped the topic of "filial piety", which is the most immersed in traditional culture, and made an incision-advocating filial piety, and no one objected, which laid the foundation for forming the greatest common denominator and drawing the greatest concentric circle.

Using filial piety agreement to provide protection for filial piety. The more specific the content of filial piety, the easier it is to form a ruler. For example, Chencun, Huang Liang, Xiazhen, Xianju County, wrote the responsibilities and obligations that children should bear into the "filial piety agreement" in the village, and "quantified" the villagers' filial piety.

The village cadres said that at that time, the new rural construction was being implemented in the village. Before building a new house, every villager should sign the "Filial Piety Agreement" at the same time when submitting the application for approval. If the son is unfilial, the family will be affected in enjoying the collective welfare of the village, examining and approving the homestead, evaluating the excellent in party member, joining the Party, and selecting village cadres.

Today's society is in a new transition period. When going out to work, living in different places and living under the same roof have become a common family structure in rural areas, whether and how children can honor the elderly has become a thorny topic that needs social attention.
