Features: Time and space are fundamental elements for people to achieve survival and development. Due to their "fundamental" nature, they are sometimes overlooked. If examined deeply, however, it is discovered that they are difficult to grasp, as Augustine famously said about time: "If no one asks me, I know it well; but if someone asks me to explain it, I am confused." This book takes the relationship between time and space as a starting point to study the fundamental issue of Chinese farmers—the problem of survival and development. It is a novel work in the study of farmer issues, offering a fresh perspective for researchers of farmer issues and development sociology.
