Yuanchun said with a serious expression, "Comrade Fang, the country is actively calling on educated youth to go to the countryside. As the child of a martyr, I certainly cannot just enjoy the comforts of life without sharing in the hardships. I must respond to the needs of the state and go to the countryside to contribute to the masses of farmers. I am like a brick; I will go wherever I am needed."
Fang Yan still did not agree.
The educated youth going to the countryside movement had been ongoing for several years. Those who had gone before were never able to return to the city, and it was said that their lives in the countryside were incredibly difficult. They had to head to the fields to work before dawn and were only allowed to stop once it was dark. After a year of backbreaking labor, they couldn't even earn enough to be full.
