Rural intellectuals, in my opinion, focus on the combination of "countryside" and "knowledge"; Since we want to talk about its social function, we must first find out what kind of social relations this intellectual needs to establish based on the countryside. If he (she) is a bookworm who "applies what he has learned" and doesn't know how to apply what he has learned and how to use his "common sense" or "expertise" to develop or treat the land under his feet, then I want to say that he (she) is so unwilling to actively fight with the rural grassroots cadres and masses.

As a rural intellectual, you must not be conservative, especially for the modernization of farmers in our new rural construction. You should give full play to your unparalleled advantages in relevant professional knowledge and technology, and let our farmers get your guidance. Your role in this respect is to arm and transform their outdated production methods with modern science and technology and scientific knowledge. In the end, our rural farmer friends can not only improve the efficiency of labor production, but also make greater profits on the basis of less input costs. In other words, expanding their pockets and enriching their minds is the least you can do.

If your major is good at science in the construction of spiritual civilization or legal civilization, especially in law; Then I think, if you are a foreign intellectual, when you first arrive in a place, you must go deep into the people for a period of time to understand their national policies, laws and regulations related to their immediate interests, and how to implement the policies of the party and the state in light of the local actual situation. You can really understand the voices and needs of people living at the bottom, so that you can avoid being busy with your work without a clue, and ultimately being a so-called intellectual is useless and wasteful. You should use your legal knowledge to explain to farmers and help them be as reasonable as possible. In particular, it is the social responsibility of a legal person to legally resolve contradictions in the bud or emerging state, and to resolve contradictions at the grassroots level in a word. You should popularize our professional legal terms in an easy-to-understand way. Only ordinary people know the law, and when they encounter problems in daily life, they can first think of using legal weapons to protect their rights. What is not easy to do is "simple violence to solve the problem." In this case, you are a great "real intellectual" and can make a difference.

Moreover, as a rural intellectual, if you want to play a role in the countryside, you must set foot in local customs, otherwise you may not be able to help or even help when facing problems!

And whether your work can be carried out smoothly must not be separated from local grassroots cadres. After all, they have the most say in the problem here. Of course, you can't listen to partial beliefs and use your head independently. You should ask what you should ask unequivocally, and you should also know how to retreat to advance and defend to attack where you want to "save the country by curve". What seems to be "inaction" is actually "promising" In this way, your role as an intellectual will better influence the land under your feet and the people on this land.

Of course, you cannot be narcissistic. You always think you are an intellectual and look at people from top to bottom. You should treat people equally, and you should pay attention to absorbing the development model and advanced experience of surrounding villages for your use. In other words, you can also exert the "butterfly effect" to radiate the development of surrounding areas and expand your influence. Even when you are established as a brand by the people or the local government, you can give full play to your "brand effect".

If you are a local intellectual, then I think you may have a say!

In short, there is no right to speak without research, which is the golden rule of social work.

Social work in rural areas really needs to introduce some advanced intellectuals, because the blood that has been flowing in rural areas for many years has really died of old age, so we have to import fresh blood. In fact, intellectuals have made great achievements at the grassroots level, rather than doing nothing. The social functions of rural intellectuals are nothing more than grass-roots autonomy (politics), economy, culture and society. I think the key is how you can give full play to these benign functions.

It is meaningless to list the social functions of rural intellectuals, but it is the basis to play its role by going deep into them, finding problems, understanding countermeasures, coping, learning lessons and summing up experience.

My humble opinion, I hope it will be beneficial to you. thank you
