The Communist Party of China is fighting hard to redefine its basis of legitimacy and give village and township cadres and ordinary Party members a sense of purpose and direction. It is trying to redefine itself as an elite party whose cadres are better educated, more cultured and civilised, and have better organisational abilities than the rest of the rural population; but these views are being seriously challenged by the peasants. This paper is based on a study of Xuanwei County, Yunnan Province
