Looking back on those days, we went from poverty to nothing and experienced a hundred years of suffering.
That era was an extremely poor era.
However, in just a few decades, our predecessors relied on their own hands, their own blood and sweat, and continued efforts to finally stand up again and become rich and powerful.
Although the people of that era were poor, everyone was full of hope and vitality. They believed in the future and believed that with their own efforts, they could not only live better and better, but also make their great country better.
Become stronger.
It is always difficult for future generations to imagine.
Why in such difficult times, people were very poor and did not have enough to eat, but they could still have many children. Not only could they give birth, but they could also raise these children to adulthood.
It is precisely because of the diligence and hard work of this generation that the entire country is filled with infinite vitality and hope. As the new generation continues to grow up, more and more labor forces continue to join, and more and more talents are born. This
The country quickly became stronger, and no one could stop it from becoming stronger.
Although it was a difficult era, people did not have enough to eat, did not wear warm clothes, and the education of people in that era was generally not up to par, but it was such an era and such a generation that laid the foundation for the glory and rise in the following decades.
.
On the other hand, in the new century, people not only have enough to eat, but also eat well and live well. Their living standards are much better than before.
But people are no longer willing to have children. All kinds of pressures seem to overwhelm young people at once. With the prevalence of only children, just imagine that in the future, the population will be aging on a large scale at a terrifying speed.
Minus, can such a country return to its former glory days?
This is a question worth pondering. Why are people no longer willing to have children after their living standards have become better?
Liu Yuan has been thinking about this question, and he is constantly learning from the history of countless powerful civilizations among the seeds of inheritance to find answers.
The reason why a strong civilization can be strong must have a huge population. On the basis of having a huge population and implementing a good education system, it is difficult for such a civilization to be strong.
Because all kinds of talents will continue to emerge like carps crossing the river, coupled with strong domestic demand, it will naturally push this civilization to become stronger and stronger.
“I want people to have an easy life and be able to pursue their ideals and dreams!”
"I think the first thing we have to do is to build a fair, just and open society and create such an environment so that the entire social class can continue to flow and everyone has opportunities."
Powerful civilizations are all similar. Competition in the interstellar universe is extremely fierce, and losers often face the demise of the entire civilization.
A strong civilization must fully tap every talent in the civilization and make full use of these talents.
How can we discover talents and make good use of them?
A very important point is to create a fair, just and open environment.
Based on fairness, everyone has opportunities. Openness and fairness are the guarantees of fairness. Only fairness and openness can ensure fairness, and fairness, in turn, can promote fairness and openness.
This is very difficult.
Because everyone has selfish motives, everyone's continuous efforts are naturally for themselves and their descendants to live a better life. This is what it means when a person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Therefore, as a society continues to develop, its social strata are constantly solidifying. This has been true at all times and in all countries, and it has never changed, because people are selfish and hope that through their own efforts, future generations will also do the same.
Live a better life.
This also means that it is simply impossible to be fair, open and impartial.
Therefore, if we want to achieve this, we must make it easy for everyone in this society, and we must solve the most basic things for human existence.
These four issues include education, medical care, housing and elderly care.
Education is related to the future of future generations. It is related to whether our descendants can become better and whether they have any hope of acquiring knowledge.
Although many people in today's society are clamoring that studying is useless, and that those who go to college are working for primary school students, but if their children are not allowed to study or only attend primary school, they will not agree, because everyone
Everyone knows that if you want to be truly successful, you still have to study and learn knowledge.
Housing is related to people's most fundamental survival needs. One of the important reasons why people in modern society generally feel tired is that the housing pressure is too great.
House prices are getting more and more expensive, you have to empty your wallet and have to bear the mortgage loan for decades, you don't dare to get sick, you don't dare to spend, everything is just for a house.
But, is this house really that valuable?
No, the house itself is not valuable, it is just reinforced concrete. It is society that has given it many attributes that make it more and more valuable, such as school district housing, geographical location, etc.
There is also medical care. Medical care is also an extremely serious problem. Medical treatment is becoming more and more expensive. This has almost become a common phenomenon. If you go to the hospital, you will not see anything, and they will directly let you go for various examinations.
Once, it can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars and it will be gone all at once.
Even if you spend money, you still have to queue up in the hospital. Often you can't finish the examination in the morning, and you have to go all over again in the afternoon.
As a result, after painstakingly completing each examination, the doctor takes a look and asks you to take medicine in a few minutes. This is a modern hospital.
What's more, treatment methods that were obviously effective in the past are no longer used, and have been changed to methods that require more time, distance and money.
This is medical care controlled by money. Everything is based on money. People not only have to spend money, but they are also tired. Once they get sick, they will go back to before liberation.
Elderly care is also a big problem, especially in rural areas and in the future. Rural people basically have no pension. Those who have saved their own money in old age are better off, but those who have no money are really pitiful.
In the future, as the aging of the population becomes more and more serious, the burden on young people will become greater and greater, and it will become a norm that pension insurance funds cannot make ends meet. Without young people, who will provide for the elderly?
Elderly care is not only a matter of money, but also requires time and energy to take care of the elderly.
"In the future we will provide free housing, free education and free medical care to every citizen!"
Liu Yuan looked at the crowd and began to talk about solving the most basic social needs.
Because only by fully ensuring the basic life issues of every citizen and allowing people to gain ease and freedom can they truly pursue their ideals and dreams.
How to make people feel relaxed, we must first solve the problems of housing, education and medical care.
As for the issue of old-age care, Liu Yuan feels that it is nothing at all, because in the future, genetic optimization solutions that extend life span will become widespread on a large scale, people's life span will be greatly increased, and there will be no such problem in old-age care.
Is it difficult to solve the housing problem?
In fact, it is not difficult at all. You must know that Singapore is a small country with a small territory and scarce land. They can solve people's housing problems, why can't we?
For the Yanhuang civilization, this was a piece of cake. The land was sparsely populated and the land was extremely spacious. The cost of building houses was actually not high.
In particular, the Yanhuang civilization is extremely rich in forest resources. Using wood to build houses is not only low-cost, but also very fast, which can completely solve the housing problem.
Even if reinforced concrete is used to build houses in the future, the cost will not be too high. With the development of science and technology, productivity is getting stronger and stronger, and building houses will become easier, faster and cheaper.
As for education, why do people still feel that education is a huge pressure even though we have compulsory education?
In the final analysis, it is because capital and involution are too serious.
One is that it is difficult to go to school. It is very difficult to go to school in the city. You not only need a house but also a household registration. Even if you have these, you still need to spend money to find connections to go to a good school.
Secondly, the involution is too serious. Under the control of capital, education has become an industry. Schools are divided into good and bad schools. Various tutoring classes not only cost your wallet, but also make children extremely tired and have no time to go.
Do something you like, go play, etc.
The city of Sanlai is developing rapidly, and the population is increasing, but the number of schools and degrees cannot keep up. Selling land is a great way to make money, but asking you to spend more money to build schools is like cutting off meat.
This also gives space for private education, which is very expensive at all times and in all countries.
"...Education is the foundation of a nation's civilization. Education must pay more attention to fairness, justice and openness. Everyone has the right to receive education."
"The number of schools and degree programs must be increased based on the size of the population and community. All students must study nearby. The industrialization of education and the entry of private capital into any educational field are strictly prohibited."
"At the same time, strict principles must be implemented in education. Schools and teachers can punish students corporally..."
Liu Yuan's words also surprised everyone, but if you think about it carefully, there seems to be something really wrong with education today. There are too many, too many students who cannot be controlled at all, who are idle, lawless, fearless, and very...
An important reason is that neither schools nor teachers dare to discipline them severely, which will completely destroy them in the long run.
When these children grow up, they will often regret it for the rest of their lives. And those students who encountered strict teachers when they were young, or even were knocked on the head by their teachers, will often thank their teachers for their discipline when they grow up.
PS: I feel that the biggest problem now is education and population~
