Urban-rural relation is one of the crucial issues in understanding contemporary China. Employing dual perspectives of the “county society” and the “human circulation,” this research project has shed a new light on largely omitted aspects on China’s recent urbanization processes centered on the county level. During the research period, members conducted field survey in counties located in Beijing, Shandong, Jiangxi, Gansu, Guizhou, and Guangxi. Based on the data collected, members are presently working on each case study, including (a) human circulations by political, administrative system, (b) human circulations by labor market, and (c) human circulations by education system.
