The Plight of the Village Committee of the 'Hollow Village'

摘要

Since 1798, a large number of rural labors have migrated with the spread of reform and opening up and market economy in rural areas, thus a great deal of villages are called "386199" troops. There are only few personnel left to adhere to the villages, which results in hollowing out in the countryside. The society, economy and culture of the hollow villages increasingly become moribund: villagers' autonomy is in a very difficult situation, public service is absent, their rhythm of life is being left behind and their spiritual culture is empty. The village committee, as the primary autonomous organizations, are also in trouble. It's difficult for them to bear the burden of managing and thriving the villages.
