Urbanization and "Termination of Traditional Peasants" Investigation Report on Economic Change in Nanching Village of Canton

Based on fieldwork and literature, this thesis is a trace study on the Village of Nanching (literally, the Scene of South), a village that was made academically well known to overseas researchers on China by C. K. Yang's monograph. After half a century, Nanching, which used to be a typical suburban village, has now been turned into a village within the boundary of a metropolis, representing a special case of what may be termed metropolitan village. During the course of this, the village has lost its fields, and depended on rental of houses. Although it does not cover all the types of rural societies, the case of Nanching is basically representative of the process of urbanization of the Pearl River Delta region, by the same token, may well serve as a model of the termination of traditional peasants.
