[00:04.25]As is vividly portrayed in the above drawing,
[00:09.29]two men, representing the countryside and the cities respectively,
[00:14.21]stride forward hand in hand. This drawing conveys a clear message that
[00:20.11]the urban and rural areas should put a high premium on the common development.
[00:25.91]Looking back on the past,
[00:28.21]nobody can deny the fact that the boom in cities can be attributed,
[00:33.13]to a large extent, to labor-intensive industries,
[00:36.84]which owe much to migrant workers in turn.
[00:39.91]From a different perspective, many farmers swarm into the cities,
[00:45.05]where they can get more job opportunities and better education,
[00:48.77]with the aim to improve their living standard.
[00:51.50]All in all, both farmers and city residents benefit from the common development.
[00:57.08]Nevertheless, we should not turn a blind eye to the uniqueness of both areas.
[01:02.88]It is true that people in cities enjoy more chances,
[01:06.92]better pay and more convenient transportation, but meanwhile,
[01:11.41]they are rather harassed by such problems as higher living costs,
[01:15.78]pollution and traffic jams.
[01:18.08]In contrast, people in rural areas have better environment to live in,
[01:23.00]with fresh air to breathe and clean water to drink.
[01:26.28]Yet, prompt medical services and good education may not be available.
[01:31.53]Therefore, drawing on each other's strong points for common progress
[01:36.67]will help dwellers in both areas better enjoy the advantages while easing concerns
[01:42.79]caused by the disadvantages.
[01:44.87]Only in this way, will the country's future prosperity be guaranteed. |
