Tengtou, a Modern Utopia: The Journey of Three Communists Toward Remaking the Poorest Village in China

Mehr zum Buch

Tengtou Village has provided a model for practices that can turn agriculture into a vigorous industry, make farming an attractive profession, and transform the countryside into a home for rural residents to live and work in peace and contentment. It is useful to explore not the number of successful endeavors the village has undertaken, but how it became the vibrant, prosperous village we see today. This sort of exploration can shed light on how Tengtou’s rebirth can be reproduced in more widespread rural revitalization across China’s vast rural landscape. It can be argued that Tengtou is a prototype for what China’s rural areas might look like in the future. Today, it provides a blueprint for rural revitalization in the country.
