The tragic and overlooked reality of rural China Farmers are even worse off than beggars

"Unless you grew up in the countryside, you would never understand what kind of life elderly people there are living today. You would never imagine how miserable rural elderly life has become. Many old people die alone in their own homes, and no one knows for days. Only when the bodies begin to rot do neighbors finally discover them. I ask you—can this really be considered normal? Some people ask, where are their children? Go and look for yourself. How many young people are still left in today’s villages? Almost none. Entire villages are made up of elderly people. Those born in the 1980s and 1990s have all gone to other cities to work. They had no choice.
