The spirit of reform in Xiaogang Village

Updated:2020-09-30 | By:China.org.cn

The spirit of reform in Xiaogang Village

In November 1978, determined to fend off starvation, 18 villagers at Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, affixed their thumbprints to a contract. This led to the introduction of a major policy known as the household contract responsibility system, in which individual remuneration was linked to output, and served as a prelude to China's rural reform. The village has thus been hailed as the cradle of rural reform, and a symbolic position in China's reform process.

Over more than 40 years of rural reform, the courage of the first people to experiment, open a new path, and be pioneers in exploring the new territory of an "all-round contract system" has evolved into a spirit named after Xiaogang. It symbolizes the courage to create, take on responsibility, and keep on striving.

In April 2016, when Xi Jinping visited Xiaogang, he recalled this spirit in the context of China's experience over the past four decades. He reaffirmed China's determination to continue reform as a prerequisite for its future progress. 

小岗精神

1978年,安徽省凤阳县小岗村18位村民冒着生命危险,在一份生死契约上摁下鲜红的手印,由此掀开了中国农村改革的序幕,推动了家庭联产承包责任制的出台,助力中国改革向纵深推进。小岗村因此被视为中国农村改革的主要发源地,在中国改革进程中具有重要的历史地位。

在40多年农村改革发展实践中,当年“敢闯、敢试、敢为人先”的“大包干精神”经过不断丰富,逐渐沉淀和凝练为“敢于创造、敢于担当、敢于奋斗”的小岗精神。

2016年4月,习近平来到小岗村调研,重温“小岗精神”,再忆改革历程,再释改革决心。他强调,唯改革才有出路,改革要常讲常新。
