AbstractRural-urban duality in China is more outstanding than in other developing countries. Residents in cities and the countryside have been split into two different societies and profit blocs. The peasant problem is a fundamental problem in Chinese revolutionary and modernization construction. Chinese modernization is actually rural modernization. However, the difficult point of Chinese moderniation lies in enriching peasants and in agricultural modernization, which also is the start point of rural-urban coordinated development. Therefore it is of important theoretical and practical significance to study the characteristics of China's rural-urban relation, the negative effects of its rural-urban separation as well as the solution in setting up a new rural-urban relationship.
