《English Translation》

黄刚: 陈花, have you seen the news? The divorce rate in rural areas is getting higher and higher now, in some places it even accounts for 95% of the total number of divorces in the entire county!
陈花: Yes, I saw that a couple of days ago too. It seems that not only cities, but rural marriages are also facing many challenges.
黄刚: The news analysis says there are many reasons, such as long-term separation of couples, domestic violence, economic pressure, and so on.
陈花: I think there's another reason, which is that rural women's thinking is becoming more open-minded, and they're no longer as submissive as before.
黄刚: Indeed, the awakening of women's consciousness is also an important factor. But the rising divorce rate will have negative impacts on rural social stability and children's growth, which can't be ignored.
陈花: That's true, many rural children have become left-behind children due to their parents' divorce, lacking parental love, which is very detrimental to their mental health.
黄刚: Therefore, both the government and society should pay attention to this issue and actively take measures. For example, create more job opportunities so that migrant workers can return to work in their hometowns, reducing spousal separation; strengthen legal education in rural areas to improve people's legal awareness; and also strengthen marriage counseling for rural families to help them better handle marital problems.
陈花: You're right, this is a problem that requires the joint efforts of the whole society to solve. I hope that rural marriages will become more stable and harmonious in the future, and all children can grow up healthy and happy.
