At the first sight of this picture, I am shocked by the scene that a bulldozer is heading for a farmer’s land while he is working laboriously on his crops. The bulldozer destroys his farmland and encroaches on it. Not far behind the bulldozer are tall buildings and shopping districts that have already been built or are under construction. This cartoon with a caption saying “Encroachment on Farmland” is really thought-provoking and reminds us of this social problem brought by urbanization.

The past several years witnessed a growing number of discussions about urbanization among citizens. All of us acknowledge that the development of urbanization brings not only lots of benefits, but also some negative effects to our society. Cities provide us with more comfortable living environment, better education and more job opportunities. However, we cannot ignore the very fact caused by excessive urbanization: A large amount of arable land has been occupied, and the material basis on which farmers depend on has been deprived of; traffic congestion and pollution are becoming increasingly serious in cities.

    Therefore, we should cultivate a rational attitude towards urbanization and balance the urban development and rural construction. We should insist on the concept of sustainable development so as to promote the social harmony.
