Analysis of the Changes in Rural Chinese Family Structure since Reform and Opening Up

This article uses data from censuses since 1982 to reveal changes in the family structure of rural China since the launch of reform and opening up and against the backdrop of institutional relocation,social transformation and an aging population.Since the advent of reform and opening up,rural family structure and its changes can be divided into two phases.Before the 1990 s,the household contract responsibility system was implemented,labor in rural villages was still mainly engaged in farming,and the number of nuclear families remained stable with a steady rise.After the 1990 s,as reform progress deepened,substantial numbers of young and middle-aged laborers in rural villages began to relocate into non-farming sectors and aging in rural villages rose.As those born in the early days of the family planning policy gradually matured,family structure was directly affected and changed in new ways and forms not seen before.Vocational divisions of labor among the parents of young families and married offspring emerged and the significance of cooperation for family economy and daily life between parents and offspring rose in importance.Also,the prevalence of immediate families with three generations climbed while the standard nuclear families declined,the ratio of middle-aged couples with young children that worked outside the home increased,the function of middle-aged and senior parents in the upbringing of infants and children enhanced,and the commonness of incomplete family types such as only grandparents with grandchildren increased.During this phase,the number of seniors living alone surged to the point of becoming a matter worthy of attention.

Practical Significance of Rural Survey of the Communist Party of China after Reform and Opening up

Conducting rural social investigation is the excellent tradition of the Communist Party of China.Since the reform and opening up,the Communist Party of China has undertaken several times of rural investigation,fully grasped the first-hand data of rural development situation of China,and formulated scientific policies and measures.These promote tremendous changes in rural development.Rural investigation of the Communist Party of China covers a wide range of topics,including politics,economy,education,science and technology,health care,sanitation,and population.Undertaking detailed investigation in rural areas is of great significance for development of rural society,scientific administration of the Communist Party of China,and the construction of the socialist society with Chinese characteristics.

Inheritance and Innovation of Xi Jinping’s Theory and Practice of Opening Up

Adherence to China’s fundamental national policy of opening up is the only means of developing socialism that incorporates Chinese characteristics.General Secretary Xi Jinping has proposed the construction of a global community with a shared future,explaining the conceptual significance of engaging with the outside world.He has emphasized the importance of following the path of peaceful development and abiding by a mutually beneficial win-win strategy to unlock the country.He has postulated the Belt and Road Initiative and sought international cooperation,laying a robust material foundation to promote increasingly accessible relations between China and other nations worldwide.He has further illuminated the practical value of opening up.Xi Jinping’s conception of opening up represents the inheritance and innovation of a theory of world history and the conceptual and functional significance of unlocking the nation in the manner of Marx,Engels,and Deng Xiaoping.China’s strategy of opening up in the new era is marked by the idea of harmony but not uniformity.This policy was founded on innovation and development,based on China’s achievements through 40 years of reform.

Pattern of Opening Up,Integration and Reshaping Economic Geography——A New Economic Geography Analysis of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Yangtze River Economic Belt

Since the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,the central government has implemented several regional development plans,including the Belt and Road Initiative and the Yangtze River Economic Belt,aiming to reshape the economic geography of China.This paper is based on the Belt and Road Initiative and the Yangtze River Economic Belt and outlines the pattern of opening up.To analyze the impact of the pattern of opening up on the regional integration of China's economic geography,this paper has developed a new economic geography model comprised of four regions and two countries.From this,it draws some conclusions.First,the change of pattern of opening up will lead to shifting centripetal and centrifugal forces from the international market.The greater the scale of neighboring markets,the stronger the agglomeration force will be; the more product varieties made in neighboring countries,the more potent its dispersion force.Second,developing an inland international trade corridor will decentralize industry distribution and reduce the impact of external market integration on home countries.Third,the inland international trade corridor could alter the effect of domestic market integration on the economic geography.When domestic integration occurs prior to international integration,further integration of a domestic market leads to greater industrial distribution along a bell-shaped curve,which describes economic activities from dispersion to agglomeration to decentralization.Therefore,developing an integrated market system of major countries and opening a corridor between China and Europe is not only the key to reshaping China's economic geography but also the path to solving the problems of the Heihe-Tengchong Line.

Innovation of Chinese Discourse in the Context of Reform and Opening Up

Through reform and opening up,China has moved from the edge of the world arena to the center and this great historical change in its development has created new requirements for the innovation of Chinese discourse.The remarkable achievements of reform and opening up have not only maintained the vitality of Chinese discourse,but also built the inherent foundation for holding confidence in discourse.The key reason why the policy of reform and opening up has facilitated the historic construction of Chinese discourse is that it is a scientific answer to the questions of our times about how to build socialism in a country relatively backward in the level of economy and education.In a new era for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics,the innovations and development of Chinese discourse have shown new features rarely seen before,among which the most significant is that constructing Chinese discourse is no longer a matter of individual cases but more of a common phenomenon.In the historic journey towards an all-round in-depth reform,broader theoretical space has been created for Chinese discourse.In addition,it is an important signpost in the path of promoting innovative development of Chinese discourse in a new era,namely,how to"tell China’s stories well",and establish an appropriate mode for conveying Chinese discourse to the world.

＂NEW ERA＂ IN CHINA： OPENING UP A NEW CHAPTER IN WORLD SOCIALISM

After Forty Years of Reform and Opening up:A Multi-perspective Analysis of the Innovation and Development of Ideological and Political Education

In the past 40 years of reform and opening up,the political,economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation between China and other countries have been increasing.In particular,with the opening of the doors to the outside world,the intermingling and collision of various cultures and trends from the East and the West have affected the practice and development process of ideological and political education to a certain extent.With the continu­ous penetration of network technology,the ideological and political theoret­ical system under the leadership of the Party has been constantly innovated and improved.Although it has gone through the course of cancellation,restoration,development and then integration and deepening,it has also pointed out a series of new diversified development paths for ideological and political education.Therefore,against such a background,it is impor­tant to deeply understand the distinctive features of ideological and political education in the context of pluralism.Adhering to the principle of keeping pace with the times and the people-oriented education policy and exploring new paths,methods and means of ideological and political education in the context of pluralism are not only in line with the trend of development of the times,but also continue to promote the reform and development of ide­ological and political theory in the new era.
