A Century-old Investigation of the Communist Party of China Leading Farmers to Participate in Rural Construction from the Perspective of Agricultural and Rural Modernization

Agricultural and rural modernization is the focus and difficulty of Chinese-style modernization, and it is also the general goal of implementing the rural revitalization strategy. The Communist Party of China leads farmers to participate extensively and deeply in rural construction, which will help promote the process of agricultural and rural modernization. Sorting out the process of leading farmers to participate in rural construction and summarizing the basic experience will provide a useful reference for effectively playing the main role of farmers in the agricultural and rural modernization. The evolution process of the Communist Party of China leading farmers to participate in rural construction can be based on the founding of the People's Republic of China, the convening of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the national abolition of agricultural tax in 2006, and the implementation of the "rural revitalization strategy" proposed by the Nineteenth National Congress as key nodes.It can be divided into five stages: mobilizing farmers to participate voluntarily, organizing farmers to participate in labor, levying one tax and two fees for full participation, implementing "one case one discussion", participating in fund-raising and labor raising, and exploring farmers' participation.During the 100-year history of the Communist Party of China leading farmers to participate in rural construction, we have formed the basic experience of always abiding by the leadership of the Communist Party of China, attaching importance to the main role of farmers, making overall plans to reduce farmers' burdens and increasing investment in rural construction, paying attention to farmers' wishes, and placing "three rural" (namely, agriculture, rural areas and rural residents) development in rural construction. In guiding farmers to actively participate in rural construction in the future, it is necessary to strengthen the leadership of the party, consolidate the leading position of rural grass-roots party organizations, reasonably guide farmers to participate, and gradually consolidate the main role of farmers in rural construction, closely follow the development theme of the times, and strengthening the target management of farmer's participation in rural construction.
