Chapter 115 Young miners are the biggest political party in Shanxi today

The core of Shanxi's local economy is the coal entity. The main part of Shanxi farmers’ life is the income earned by working as miners in coal mines, and coal mines have become the source of their wealth ideals and life beliefs. That is to say, going to coal mines has become their only channel for income for survival. Nowadays, with the development of the times, Shanxi farmers who were born in the 1940s have gradually aged, and they have gradually withdrawn from the ranks of Shanxi miners. Today, it is replaced by a new generation of farmers (miners) born in the 1970s and even 1980s, who will inject "fresh blood" into the local "miners".Today, these young miners have become the main body of coal miners in Shanxi. This is an objective fact that exists before our eyes.Taking a closer look at this generation, we find that compared with the previous generation, these young people are thoughtful and educated.They are full of passion for life and full of vision for the future, they are both passionate and unconventional.

When we put them on the coordinates of Shanxi's future development, and evaluate this group from the perspective of history and scientific development, we will come to the conclusion that these young miners are the biggest politics in rural Shanxi today! When we examine this group in the perspective of Chinese political thinking and vision, we will find that in the process of the overall transformation from traditional society to modern society in rural China, we will hear more and more clearly a The voices of special groups who express their political demands. Maybe their voices are still small, maybe their power is not big, but the emergence of any new things follows this law, which is a fact; they have not yet received widespread attention from society, which is also a fact.However, they have to face various cruel practical problems:

First of all, due to their low level of education, inexperienced social experience, and unformed values ​​of life, they are most likely to blindly compare "upper class society" with "rural society". This strong "realistic contrast" leads to their social values. deformity fission. Secondly, being miners in small and medium-sized coal mines makes it impossible for them to realize their dream of getting rich and their own life value. At the same time, the unstable source of income makes it impossible for them to have stable economic expectations and long-term life development goals.Therefore, they still lack confidence in their future, and after comparing the luxury of the coal bosses around them with the embarrassment of their own lives, they are dissociated between their own "objective predicament" and the cruel reality of "unequal wealth" in front of them , which to a certain extent guides the life philosophy of this part of the group.

All of this made them feel extremely painful but helpless.As a socially disadvantaged group, they have been living in the cracks of the rural society in a period of change and transformation.When they feel disappointed with this society, they consciously or unconsciously place themselves on the "opposite side" of society.Over time, this group is likely to develop into an unstable social force. So far, we believe that if we cannot completely change the “ignorance” of the political demands of this group, then this group is likely to develop into an “obstacle” that threatens the construction of a harmonious socialist society.
