This book focuses on the phenomena and processes of social change and modern transformation in China's rural communities triggered by the introduction of Christianity during the modern era. Its content encompasses missionary concepts in rural areas and methods leveraging agricultural technology; nationwide rural surveys aimed at promoting rural social reform and practice; the establishment of modern agricultural science in China; analyses by Chinese and foreign scholars on rural socioeconomic issues; solutions and reflections on the difficulties faced by rural populations after migrating to cities; population movements and survival strategies driven by religious beliefs; and village communities formed through religious affiliation. These topics provide diverse perspectives and factual insights into the modern transformation of Chinese rural society that have been underrepresented in previous research. --- Translated publisher's description.
