The S countryside of H town of N country in the Northeast is the case of thispaper. This paper uses the fieldwork research method from the perspective ofsociology and anthropology to "storytelling" approach, describe the S countrysidefarmers and the government land acquisition conflict persistent problem. To S Villagecases "thick description" on the basis of the papers in time and space to expandaccordingly, in order to carry out a comparative study. In time, not only examines therise of the S village land acquisition conflict (2007-2010) and last (2011-present), and,in the land acquisition before the conflict, study villages before the land acquisitionHistory, Institutional Change and Economic Development (1949-1991), as well asland acquisition at the beginning of the smooth land acquisition; after that, it waspredicted the future of the S Village land acquisition conflict. In space, not only focuson land acquisition and clashes in the village of S, but also concerned about the Htown surrounding villages, as well as the S Village adjacent Changchun some of thevillage’s land conflict.In perspective, we use both methods of “structure-action" and the newmacro-structural perspective learning from Zhao Dingxin: change, structure, discourse,and learn from the Touraine "return" of actors. Changing not only examines theeconomic and social development, the rise and continuing impact of the conflict, butalso examines the structure of the State, the land requisition system and discoursechange in structure, and the continuing effects of the conflict; investigated the entireland the requisition system, as well as a dispute resolution mechanism for the continuation of the conflict; discourse, examines the farmers to shift from thetraditional discourse (survive discourse)-national discourse (discourse within thesystem)-the alien discourse (challenging words). And "collectivism" discoursedeclining and steering demand. Another clue of this article is, as the parties to theconflict peasant protesters and government workers "action", runs through the storyalways. In this dual perspective, clearer geographical clear sequence of events.Since the1990s, China’s urbanization process has accelerated, and H EconomicDevelopment Zone was established, S village in the hinterland of the industrial zoneplanning area, land acquisition be launched. Land acquisition at the beginning, due toheavy taxation of agriculture, the development of township enterprises quickly findanother way out of the majority of the adult labor force, agricultural income accountedfor a very small share of total household income, land "worthless", the villagers arehappy to "land acquisition". Into the late nineties, agricultural taxes and graduallyreduce the decline of township enterprises, land acquisition prices gradually rise, moreand more valuable land, the villagers gradually not want to be land acquisition. Sincethe beginning of2007, H Economic Development Zone, large-scale land acquisition,leading to the rise of land acquisition conflict. Farmers from the spontaneous protest tothe formation of organized protest, and take a variety of protest strategies and plays. Inthis process, the local government has also taken a variety of coping strategies,resulting in some conflicts that "settle", but some conflict intensified, and continue tosimmer upgrade.In the process of the land acquisition and ongoing conflict, S countryside hasgone through three stages: The first stage, farmers struggle compared the performanceof the original and traditions. For example, take a "death threat","violent resistance","collective troublemakers". Discourse taken the traditional "protection of land is toprotect our lifeline" survival of ethical discourse. The second stage, and according tomethod protest stage. This stage is characterized by steps petition, rehabilitation, brokethe news to the media, reporting, etc., most of the action within the framework of thelaw, try to avoid touching the legal red line. Protest discourse into the use of national discourse, the discourse within the system. The third stage is the emergence of signs ofconflict transformation and challenging discourse. When the "national discourse" tofight failure, farmers on behalf of the organization with the foreign media trying to findhuman rights organizations. Foreign words become their tools to fight or struggleawareness. S Village continuing conflict toward two points: When the Governmentrigid "stabilize", the charismatic spirit intensification and populist risk; when thegovernment timely adjustment of the structural system similar to the Westerndeveloped countries, there will be more standardized social movements, and landacquisition conflict which is conducive to a healthy track.Found through research, to produce land acquisition conflict and sustained morecomplicated reasons, structure-the words "not with the social changes andcorresponding changes in the macro and micro performance does not solve the basicproblems of the conflict, but with the The passage of time and the persistence ofconflict, the incorporation of a number of other factors, to escalate the conflict anddifficult to solve, and finally toward the danger, violence, extreme edge. In order toresolve the conflict at the macro level, the ongoing conflict in the benign trackcorresponding changes at the institutional level, adjust the "structure" and "Words"innovative content and speed; at the micro, the establishment of a regulator mechanismto allow continuation of the conflict towards digestion, avoid escalation of violence;However, regardless of the macro changes or micro-adjustment mechanism, the core isto constantly adjust the rights of the state and farmers unreasonable configuration, thisright configuration requires the Sociology of Law perspective, carried out step by step.This paper attempts to achieve two breakthroughs:One is the concept of innovation, according to Coser’s conflict continuedproposition, persistent conflict proposition. Only one word,"the continuation of theconflict" and "conflict of continuity between the concern has undergone a fundamentalchange. Coser’s conflict continued proposition "only concerned about the conflict ofthe length of time, in this thesis, the length of time of conflict is just one dimension.Understood as the continuation of the conflict, the conflict has been the subject of both sides maintained between a violent or non-violent, confrontational andnon-confrontational process or state. This paper not only defines the concept ofpersistent conflict, but also examines and analyze the persistent conflict causes andconditions, process and impact.The two explain conflict persistent structure-the framework of the discourse."Changes, Structural discourse" and "actors", the impact on the S village landacquisition and continuation of the conflict issues. However, after a brief analysis ofthe author of a number of elements, not only the S Village land acquisition conflictcontinued to do a microscopic analysis and structure-the framework of the discourseof the proposed measure and explain the persistent problems of land acquisition andconflict.
