Since the reform and opening up, the rural economy has developed greatly, and the living standards of farmers have been greatly improved. However, due to the limitation of the household registration system, the artificial dual structure of urban and rural areas has existed for a long time, and the urban-rural development is extremely unbalanced, and the gap between urban and rural areas is getting bigger and bigger with the passage of time.
