回到安徽，我想知道为什么农村社区总是要承担中国政治、社会和经济变革的负担。
L说：“我祖父有高血压，不得不服用各种治疗老年人疾病的药物。”“每月花费800-900元，加起来每年约1万元。”
“那笔代价对他来说是天文数字，一个独自住在农村的老人。”
L说：“自1949年[中华人民共和国]成立以来，一直是农村地区和农业社区做出了最大的牺牲，包括通过[1979年后]经济改革。”
“他们的教育、医疗保健和养老金一直不足……这是人口的很大一部分，但[当权者]却不知道他们正在遭受痛苦，或者他们不知道为什么？”
“他们遭受的痛苦还不够吗
Back in Anhui, L wanted to know why rural communities have always had to shoulder the burden of political, social and economic change in China.
“My grandfather had high blood pressure and had to take various medications for diseases of the elderly,” L said. “It cost 800-900 yuan a month, adding up to around 10,000 yuan a year.”
“That cost was astronomical for him, an old man living alone in the countryside.”
“Ever since the [People’s Republic of China] was founded in 1949, it has always been the rural areas and farming communities who have made the biggest sacrifices, including through the [post-1979] economic reforms,” L said.
“They have always had inadequate education, medical care and pensions … This is a huge segment of the population, and yet [those in power] can’t tell that they are suffering, or they don’t know why?”
“Haven’t they suffered enough?”
