　　The gap of living in cities and the countryside is larger and larger. What
are the reasons in your country and how to reduce the differences?
        　　As the step of economic development accelerates, the gap between the city
and the countryside becomes more and more overt, which arouses colossal
concerns. Take a further look at the phenomenon, there are three major
causes.
        　　Firstly, the insufficiency of investment in the rural areas accounts mainly
for the issue. China, for example, covers a very large area. Due to the emphasis
on the development in the coastal areas, the government devotes more investment
in the large cities, such as Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. The investment,
undoubtedly, is repaid by the threefold increase of economy and commerce in
these cities. However, this is not the case in the rural areas and the western
regions. The lack of investment barriers the productivity and economic
development and sharpens the gap between the city and the countryside.
        　　Secondly, the low education level in the rural areas contributes partly to
the gap of living. Education is the prime force of productivity. Keeping this in
mind, many countries and governments give priority to the development of
education. China’s education witnessed a rapid growth in the past decade.
However, the education level in the countryside still keeps very low. The
enrollment of primary schools and secondary schools is much lower compared with
the advanced regions, not to mention the developed countries in the world.
Without good education, the development of economy and technology would be a
dream difficult to be realized.
        　　Finally, the influx of migrant workers to the cities from the countryside
deteriorates the undeveloped condition in the rural areas. The life style in the
urban areas is very attractive to the people in the countryside. To seek more
working opportunities, many people abandon the fertile lands and leave them
uncultivated. If the situation continues, it will lead to serious unbalance of
economic and regional development.
        　　To sum up, only when the government renders more concerns over the issue
can the gap between the cities and the countryside be bridged.
