However, when interviewed by relevant journalists and rural grass-roots workers, our correspondent learned that in the real countryside, democracies always showed all kinds of helplessness and the rule of law often failed to do so. The problems of “lawlessness” and “lawfulness and hardship” began to emerge. Villagers’ autonomy fell into the dilemma of “governance.” How to promote democratic governance after the democratic election is a major issue facing the majority of village cadres and peasants. This publication selected several prominent types of village governance in rural areas in Zhejiang Province. Through careful analysis and introduction, it hopes to bring thought and inspiration to all walks of life and readers who care about grass-roots democracy.
