For a Better Life

This is a contemporary work with the background of the effective connection between poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. The imbalance of population ratio, the preference for boys over girls, and the influx of large numbers of migrant workers into cities in the great era have resulted in many young men in rural areas being unable to find a partner. Sun Jiawei is one of these rural young men. In order to find a girlfriend, he went to Shanghai to work. As a result, he encountered the tragic dilemma of breaking off the engagement without refunding the bride price. In order to have a better life, he and his neighbor Ma Xiaoran opened a clothing store together. After going through all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, not long after the business was on track, it suffered a fire and suffered heavy losses. Later, when they returned home to recuperate their energy and plan to go out to work again, Sun Jiawei was invited by the village party secretary to participate in rural revitalization work in the village. In the work of rural revitalization, Sun Jiawei focused on the work of changing customs and revitalizing industries based on the idea of ​​"thinking about what the masses think and being anxious about the masses' needs". It effectively criticized the bad customs of high-priced betrothal gifts and poor maintenance and burial in rural areas, and vigorously promoted industrial revitalization. Let young men and women in the village find jobs at home. Although Sun Jiawei encountered various difficulties in his rural revitalization work, he stuck to his original intention and was unswerving in his determination. In the end, he changed the customs and achieved remarkable results. The village's industries prospered, retaining his neighbors and making everyone rich.
