This article is considered on the background of the construction of new countryside and the annexation of the villages in China, when a number of villages start a large scale of reorganization of the villages and attempt to promote their modernization process. In this course, different interest groups:government, merchants, residents in the community and the strangers, become the shaping forces of social structure and they challenge the principle of the residents of the community. Respectively, the land, the house and the job become the focus of the conflict.Today, we pay more attention to the transformation of the society. Most of the scholars concentrate on the economic rationality of the peasants and the dissolution of the community, however, the self-protection of the residents especially the resistance for the community and "place" received less attention. Based on the fieldwork, this article made the H village combined as the observing object, and then analyzed and explained the process of the construction of the "village community" in the rich rural areas. So, what we need to talk about is, under the shock of the market, how to make the construction of the "village community" be possible? What's the social basis for the peaceful resistance of the community members? And what is the operation of the logic and the value?To solve these above problems, this paper is divided into six parts. Chapter I presents the introduction, consciousness of the questions, review of the domestic and international community theory, and explains the theoretical framework and research methods. Chapterâ…¡explains the background and the current situation of the combination the villages and presents the main outline and the basic characteristics of the structure type of the village. Chapter III to The Chapter V, analyzes the action of the villagers in the market process of the land, houses and job, explains that the residents fought with the organization of the village and exclude the strangers of the community through (1)seeking "legitimacy" on boundary of the community, exclusivity and member right with local knowledge, (2) taking the peaceful resistance including spreading rumors, taking collective bargaining, complaining and so on to preserve their rights in the land market, their private feeling of the house, the priority of the job and so on, (3)then by these practices the members of the community reconstructed the network and the social system of the community, expressed the idea of justice and achieved the sense of security, certainty, and finally they maintained their "community"which emphasizes subjectivity, value, practice and experience. Chapter VI are the conclusions, this paper think that the openness of the economic boundary and the closeness of the social boundary is an interactive process and is a form of "interactive movement"On this basis, this paper discussed the connotation of the justice and the sense of "place" also. I hope that this thesis can have a conversation with the bottom layer resistance research in Southeast Asia. From the peaceful resistance for the community and "place", we can also review the social transformation and the construction of life meaning in the contemporary society.
