在2000年时,我国拥有360万个自然村,但到了2010年,这一数字变成了270万。也就是说,10年间消失了90万个自然村——这是2016年4月在浙江慈溪举行的“中国传统村落保护(鸣鹤)国际高峰论坛”上传递出的信息。高速的城镇化建设,农村人口大量涌入城市,空巢农村变得司空见惯,曾经自然质朴、亲切热闹的一个个村落或合并或消失,曾经被我们视为故乡的那个地方日渐变得调敝孤寂。 By the year 2000, our country had 3.6 million villages, but by 2010 this figure had become 2.7 million. In other words, 900,000 villages disappeared in 10 years - this is the message from the “China Traditional Village Conservation (Minghe) International Summit Forum” held in Cixi, Zhejiang Province in April 2016. With the rapid urbanization, a large influx of rural population into the cities and the empty nesting of rural areas have become commonplace. Natural villages and pastoral villages have merged or disappeared. The place once regarded by us as the homeland has gradually become lonely .
