Features: The author describes the classic stories of the Nanping Experiment using a novelist's expressive techniques, uncovers all the secrets driving the experiment forward with a journalist's observational perspective, and weaves it into an allegory that requires collective reflection from political elites, economic elites, and intellectual elites. This book offers a new way of thinking to solve China's rural farmer problem and is a powerful work on the "three rural issues" following Li Changping's "I Tell the Premier the Truth." Unlike the countless rural experiments carried out by Chinese intellectuals over the past century, the Nanping Experiment is a medium-level rural revitalization experiment led by the ruling party. It is not as perfect as people say, but it holds immeasurable reference value for rural areas in China's underdeveloped regions.
