Hong Shen's recent personal opinion: "Rural illiteracy has become a very common phenomenon."
Liu Qing's History of Entrepreneurship, Volume I, Chapter 15: "The leader of a mutual aid group who has studied in a literacy class and has not completely removed his semi-illiterate hat will not read the letter."
In the new century, the United Nations has redefined the standard of illiteracy and divided it into three categories:
In the first category, people who can't read and write are illiterate in the traditional sense.
The second category is people who can't recognize the symbols of modern society (that is, maps, graphs and other commonly used charts).
The third category, people who can't learn, communicate and manage with computers.
The latter two types are considered as "functional illiteracy". Although they have received basic literacy education, they have great difficulties in the social life with highly developed modern information dissemination.
