【正确答案】
Receiving university education has been seen as a way to find good jobs and, to many young people from the countryside, to escape the hard labor in rural areas. Nowadays, however, university graduates are encouraged to work in the countryside as village heads, which has a certain appeal to more and more young intellectuals.
The attraction of being a village official does not merely lie in the potential employment opportunity when the job market declines in the cities. It provides a good chance for young graduates to gain first hand knowledge about the life of majority farmers from the grassroots' level, and to develop their leadership potentials. Once being tested by the hardship and approved by the villagers, their self-confidence will grow along with their ability.
In the meantime, the villagers will be exposed to new ideas of the outside world and learn to meet the requirements of a competitive market economy, since the aim of a village official is not to fit into rural life, but to bring about positive changes in the countryside. By helping to narrow the gap between the urban and rural areas, by contributing to the improvement of lives in the remote villages, the young graduates will have a strong sense of achievement, and may find working as village official a very rewarding experience.
