Abstract
It has been eight years since the re-launch of the household responsibility system (HRS) in 1978 in Anhui, Sichuan, and some other places. With simple motive and approach, this reform has reversed the rural economic and political situation that was deeply mired in the “socialist impoverishment” and contributed to the remarkable great liberation of China’s rural productivity.
The first draft of this article was completed in October 1986, and the revision was completed in December 1986. DAI Xiaojing also participated in the writing. Many colleagues at the Development Research Institute have contributed to the discussion and revision, and the article was published in the name of “Comprehensive Research Task Force of the Development Research Institute” in Economic Research, Issue No. 1-1997.
