Pioneer of rural reform, Xiaogang Village marches toward modernization

07:43

Rural reforms in China were galvanized in 1978, when 18 farmers from Xiaogang Village in the eastern Chinese province of Anhui agreed to assign collective farmland to individual households. The village thus became the birthplace of China's rural reform. Over three decades later, Xiaogang Village pioneered another round of reform to separate contract rights from management rights, ushering in a new era of agricultural modernization.
