Reader comments
This book is very informative and gave me a deeper understanding of agricultural cooperativization and the land reform movement. I especially like the stories about Geng Changsuo and Li Shunda in the book. I admire their courage and wisdom. This reminds me of Sun Shaoan in "The Ordinary World". They are both people who work hard for the development of rural areas. Overall, this is a book worth reading. It allowed me to see the changes and development of rural China.
