In the countryside, the most faceless people:
One: He who did not give birth to a son.
Two: divorced.
Three: Can't find a job to do.
Four: destitute.
Five: five guarantee households.
Six: Liabilities.
Seven: The person who abuses his wife.
Eight: My wife is going to be someone else's junior.
Nine: Door-to-door son-in-law.
Ten: Borrowing money and not paying it back.
In China's vast rural areas, the concept of face has always been an important social and cultural phenomenon. It is deeply rooted in the daily lives of farmers, influencing their values, behaviour and social interactions. The following is an analysis of these people who are considered to be the most faceless in the countryside, and this analysis is not intended to disparage or discriminate against anyone, but to reveal the deeper reasons and cultural significance behind this perception.
**1. Families who did not give birth to a son**
In rural areas, having sons is seen as an important task in continuing the family lineage and passing on the family lineage. As a result, families who do not have sons are often regarded as "desperate" and cannot hold their heads up in the village. This concept, which stems from the ancient patriarchal system and patriarchal thinking, has changed in modern society but still exists in some rural areas.
**II. Divorced Family**
Divorce may have become relatively common in the cities, but in the countryside, it is still a very humiliating thing. Divorce is seen as a symbol of family breakdown and can bring great psychological pressure and social opinion pressure to family members. Therefore, many rural families will choose forbearance and tolerance rather than divorce when faced with marital problems.
**3. People who can't find a job**
In rural areas, a stable source of income is an important guarantee of family dignity and quality of life. Those who cannot find a job are often seen as incompetent or lazy and are despised by the villagers. The existence of this situation reflects the importance that rural society attaches to hard work and ability, as well as discrimination against the unemployed.
**Fourth, the impoverished family**
Poverty is despised everywhere, especially in rural areas. Families who are destitute are often unable to meet their basic needs and live at the bottom of society. They may be sympathetic to the villagers, but more often than not, they are seen as losers. The existence of this situation reveals the pursuit of material abundance and the discrimination against poverty in rural society.
**Five, five guarantee households**
Five-guarantee households refer to those who have no children, no ability to work, no source of livelihood, and no legal support or supporter. They are provided by the state and society with livelihood and medical care. However, in rural society, the Five Guarantees household is often regarded as a burden and burden to society, and is subject to a certain degree of discrimination and exclusion.
**6. People in debt**
In rural areas, indebtedness is often seen as a stigma. Those who are in debt, for whatever reason, are questioned and alienated by the villagers. They may be seen as dishonest or incompetent, losing their status and dignity in the village. The existence of this situation reflects the importance that rural society attaches to integrity and competence.
**7. People who abuse their wives in a domestic group**
Domestic violence is a serious social problem, both in urban and rural areas. In rural areas, people who abuse their wives are often regarded as beasts and demons, and are spurned and condemned by the whole village. Their actions not only hurt the body and mind of the victims, but also undermined the harmony and stability of the family.
**Eight, the wife goes to be someone else's junior**
In rural areas, female fidelity and discipline are seen as very important qualities. Those whose wives go to be other people's juniors are often seen as incompetent and weak, and are ridiculed and despised by the villagers. Their families will also suffer shame and become the focus of discussion in the village.
**Nine, door-to-door son-in-law**
A door-to-door son-in-law refers to a form of marriage in which the man settles down in the woman's house. In rural areas, door-to-door sons-in-law are often regarded as inferior, discriminated against and ostracized by the woman's family and the people in the village. Their status and rights are often not guaranteed, and they need to endure great psychological and social pressure.
**10. People who borrow money and don't pay it back**
In the countryside, those who borrowed money and did not repay it were regarded as scoundrels and liars, and were spurned and condemned by the whole village. Their actions not only damage their own credibility and image, but also undermine the interpersonal trust and mutual aid spirit of rural society.
