Features: In the current context where the "" issue has nearly become a public issue in China, establishing a continuous academic publication focused on rural China issues is indeed a responsibility for us. However, finding one's own stance, taste, and academic space within existing research requires careful consideration. We hope it will be a sapling rooted in the Chinese perspective, absorbing academic nourishment from both domestic and international sources, and growing in the fertile soil of China's transforming rural experiences. With the meticulous cultivation of fellow scholars, it will flourish. Therefore, embracing diversity and bridging China and the world is its, while facing reality and serving China is its unwavering pursuit. Integrating disciplinary boundaries into problem-solving is its academic mission, emphasizing the academic enhancement of fieldwork experience is its fundamental feature, and attracting outstanding talent and nurturing newcomers is the editor's modest "ambition." This book is a sister publication to the Agriculture, Rural Areas, and Farmers in China quarterly, edited by the Center for Rural Governance Research at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. If Agriculture, Rural Areas, and Farmers in China aims to set the "academic fashion" of rural China studies through accessible reviews, short essays, and, then Rural China Review seeks substantial academic accumulation and profound, broad, and thoughtful characteristics. Focused on researching rural China issues, this annual journal publishes academic papers on all fields related to rural China, including politics, economics, law, society, culture, history, and more.
