In China, being a farmer is a disgrace. The Government’s policy discriminates against people of rural origin everywhere. A rural household registration and an urban household registration of people, urban welfare than rural 60 more kinds of rural, rural areas have no benefits. According to the statistical bulletin issued by the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2005 the per capita disposable income of urban residents in mainland China was 10,493 yuan, and the per capita net income of rural residents was 3,255 yuan, the gap between the two is 3.22:1, while in 1985 the per capita wage of urban residents was 690 yuan, and the per capita net income of rural residents was 397 yuan, the gap between the two is 1.74 yuan. :: The income gap between urban and rural areas has widened by 85% in 10 years. Rural infrastructure remains at 1970s levels, with water facilities severely damaged. The United Nations Development Report claims that if Guizhou were a country, its human development index would only surpass Namibia’s, but if Shanghai were compared to a country, it would be comparable to Portugal’s. With the development of economy, the gap between urban and rural areas has increased, and the gap between the rich and the poor has increased. In 2005, China’s Gini coefficient, the main indicator of the gap between rich and poor, was close to 0.47. The dual economy of urban and rural areas has led to serious discrimination against farmers. So, in China, when farmers are a disgrace, farmers have no dignity.
What’s the point of such a life? The dual division of urban and rural areas caused by the household registration system is quite different from the economic and cultural level of urban and rural areas.
Image metaphor for China’s cities like Europe, rural like Africa. It has to be said that in China, farmers are really bitter, the countryside is really poor, agriculture is really dangerous. Being a Chinese farmer or Chinese is a shame, especially as a Han Chinese. It has to be said that the Communist Party is garbage, hope that 600 million farmers will unite to nail this garbage to the column of shame.
