The "Three Rural Issues" represent the greatest challenges and problems China faces in its current development process. They are closely linked to issues such as the urban-rural dual structure and the Western Development Strategy. Without resolving these issues, our modernization goals cannot be truly achieved, nor can the task of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects be realized. The "Three Rural Issues" have been a top priority for all governments, and they were emphasized in the report of the 16th National Congress and the resolution adopted by the Third Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee. This issue is the most pressing reality in China today and a key focus of discussion in the field of economic theory. In recent years, the "Three Rural Issues" have been the primary focus of the author's research. While conducting theoretical research, the author has also carried out a series of field investigations in rural areas with varying levels of development across different provinces and cities. Based on these efforts, a set of theoretical and practical approaches to addressing the "Three Rural Issues" has been summarized. The author has engaged in numerous discussions and exchanges with other experts and scholars on various conferences related to the "Three Rural Issues." The articles included in this book cover not only theoretical essays on the "Three Rural Issues" written by the author but also reports on the "Three Rural Issues" presented by the author at various conferences in recent years.
