城乡一体化的根本措施在于解放农民

城乡一体化是城乡关系的最终形式,制约中国城乡和谐发展的主要障碍是二元社会体制对农民的束缚。实践证明,通过制度的创新和改革使农民从种种束缚中解放出来,不仅是城乡和谐发展的前提,也是社会发展的动力。文章认为20多年来,中国社会的每次跨越式发展其本质都是在解放农民过程中释放的能量。科学发展观和城乡统筹的提出为农民的彻底解放奠定了理论基础。中国的农民问题不能在农业内部解决,也不能局限在农村解决,在城乡一体化层面上赋予农民自主权和平等的地位,是解决"三农"问题和实现城乡一体化的根本措施。

To Free Farmers :the Essential Way of Achieving Urban-Rural Integration

Urban-rural integration is the ultimate form of relationship between the cities and the countryside. The duality-structural society of China is the major hindrance in containing the harmonious development of the cities and the rural areas. Practice has proved that it is not only a pre-requisite, also a major driving force for social development to unfetter farmers from all sorts of constraints through institutional innovation and reform. The authors maintain that, in the past two decades, every leap forward-style development is a result of unleashing the vitality of farmers. Scientific development mindset and urban-rural integration provide the theoretical basis for thoroughly liberalizing farmers. The farmer issue in China is unable to be resolved within the agricultural industry, neither limited to the countryside. To give equal autonomy and social status to farmers is an essential measure to resolve "three rural issues" and to achieve urban-rural integration.
