The economic reforms instituted in China in the late 1970s have transformed Chinese society and it is clear that the material well-being of many Chinese has improved greatly since that time. Numerous studies confirm this general picture and it would be pedantic to cite references to document the obvious benefits of these reforms. This report intends to draw the attention of readers to the other side of China's economic policies and practices. Focusing on the case of one rural village in Jiangxi province, this paper analyzes the reasons for material improvements in village life in China today and then highlight some of the detrimental aspects of post-Mao economic reforms. Finally, the paper discusses the conditions of villagers who have left their homes to become migrant workers
