Zhu Ling

From 1895 to 1990, this research was supported by central rural research centre.

The main discover of this research is that the implement of household responsibility system and the detribalization of people's commune incent peasants improving the efficiency of resource allocation, in the meantime, leave a blank in agriculture infrastructure construction and village public service supplying system.

At the same time, a single peasant is facing increasing uncertainty and risks.

She referred to the experience of developed countries and the creation of Chinese peasants’ system and came up with key solutions.

The second solution is letting the village-autonomy to play a role.

With the deformation detribalization of people's commune, community organizations could supplement partial functions of basic regime in the field of public affairs.

Under the condition that the market mechanism is not fully developed, community organizations can partially supplement the role of the market in the process of production factor allocation; the third solution is to promote the development of farmers' cooperative organizations.
