The depression of agricultural production and rural life,along with the drain of the"backbones"of the villages,boils down to modernization being exclusively enjoyed by cities and the"emptiness"of villages.Gone with this process are all the values in rural areas,including those of economy,culture and even ideology.With the depression being aggravated,the young in rural areas can see no prospect of life in rural areas,hence the village has been a place they intend to get away from rather than a field full of prospect.Their promised space and the place where they intend to behave well are in cities.Rural areas in China are now undergoing an immense change,a change that results form both"top-down"and"bottom-up"forces,and a historical change that calls for creativity and the courage to explore the unknown world.%城市对现代化的垄断和农村的虚空化使农业生产没落了,使农村生活萧条了,使农村的脊梁被抽掉了,这个过程带走了农村从经济、文化到意识形态上所有的价值。农村的年轻人要面对的问题是在这样日益萧条的农村,他们看不到一条通往未来的道路,农村成为农村人想要挣脱和逃离的生死场。乡土中国正在经历着巨大的嬗变,＂自上而下＂和＂自下而上＂相结合的,充满创造力和对未知世界的开拓勇气的历史巨变。
