This book aims to provide the readers a better understanding of
rural China through the particular perspective of the rural
underworld. It proposes new concepts to describe social changes of
rural China by comparing the contemporary rural society with the
acquaintance society-the classic model for depicting the
traditional Chinese society. The author's down-to-earth fieldwork
has revealed that, with a permeating gang influence, the society of
rural China has actually changed in nature. Such change in social
nature is summarized as "the estrangement of acquaintances" or
"moral ambiguity". As a result of the rural gangster's unlawful
acts of lining their pockets with national resources, rural China
is going through "rural governance involution." In short, this book
develops new models and concepts to establish a comprehensive
scientific conceptual system for explaining social reality. With
hard-to-come-by information and a prudent and multi-faceted
analysis on a neglected topic, this book gradually reveals to the
readers the true picture of rural China.
