Peasants are the main subjects in the construction of New Countryside. The process of constructing new countryside, to the great extend, depends on farmers' quality. No improvement of farmers' quality, construction of New Countryside is just empty talk. Therefore, in order to resolve the problems of "agriculture, countryside and fanners" and realize the grand goal of building a new socialist countryside, we must establish the notion that talents are the most important resources. On January 29^th of 2007, Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Energetically Developing Modern Farming and Firmly Advancing the Construction of New Socialist Countryside is issued. It clearly points out that the construction of socialist Modern agriculture depends on "cultured, skilled and working" new type farmer in the end.
