China's rural reform has entered deep waters. The implementation of the rural "household subsidy" policy in 2024 marks a new stage in China's rural development in the new era. This epoch-making initiative has brought about a series of profound changes that will change the fate of hundreds of millions of farmers, and will also promote the modernization of rural industries, infrastructure and governance systems.
This household-based subsidy policy, which can reach up to 180,000 yuan, is of great significance. It has a bearing on the vital interests of the vast number of peasants and will have a far-reaching impact on the rural economy and society. The distribution of subsidies on a household-by-household basis not only reflects the great importance that the state attaches to agriculture and rural areas, but also enables farmers to truly become the first beneficiaries of the implementation of national policies. Such a mechanism arrangement will certainly mobilize the subjectivity of farmers and comprehensively stimulate the endogenous driving force of rural development.
Of course, this policy did not come out of nowhere, but has its social basis. Over the years, China has persistently promoted the new urbanization and rural revitalization strategy, which has narrowed the gap between urban and rural areas. Especially in the past decade, a series of policies to vigorously benefit farmers have become increasingly effective, and the growth rate of per capita disposable income of rural residents has exceeded that of urban residents for many years.
This has laid a solid foundation for the further development of rural areas. At present, the overall improvement of rural infrastructure, and the substantial increase in agricultural productivity and organization, have brought rural economic and social development into a new stage and created favorable conditions for the implementation of new policies.

At the same time, with the overall increase in income level, farmers' sense of gain and consumption demand are also undergoing profound changes. Buying a house to improve living conditions has become a new hot spot for rural households. In recent years, rural housing construction has continued to heat up, and the improvement rate of rural housing quality reached 16% in 2019. It shows that the peasants' demand for housing is becoming more and more urgent. Therefore, accelerating the improvement of the rural living environment and building livable ecological villages have become an important task of rural construction.
In view of this, solid progress has been made in the construction of rural housing and infrastructure in recent years. For the renovation of dilapidated houses alone, the government allocates huge subsidies every year to give thousands of rural houses a new look. In addition, the pilot project of "Rural Housing Conditions Improvement Action in the New Era" further explores a new model of social capital cooperation, and creates good results in terms of quality and speed. All kinds of achievements show that under the guidance of national policies and financial support, rural construction is being carried out vigorously, and the new countryside is initially presenting.
Parallel to infrastructure construction is the reform of the rural property rights system. In recent years, the homestead system has been continuously improved, and the rural real estate registration system has become more and more standardized, which has made it more secure for farmers to build and buy houses, and has also laid an institutional foundation for the development of various forms of rural industries.
To sum up, under the promotion of national policies, China's rural reform has been carried out in depth, and farmers' sense of gain has been significantly improved. Rural economic and social development has entered a new stage, and rural revitalization is being promoted with a new look and accelerated pace. Hopefully, this change will benefit both the present and the future, and will surely open a new chapter in China's agricultural and rural development.
