As the pace of industrialization accelerated, it is a common phenomenon of land has expropriated from farmers, which also led to farmers forced into city become the land-lost farmers. Land-lost fanners is a specialized social group in special time in China.Under the impact of the new cultural patterns,they entered the "threshold" of city, which from the original living way of scattered bungalows to a concentrate residential community buildings, the process involves the overall village relocation transformation and the farmers displacement of geographical and space, which the way of production from agriculture to non-agriculture,and the household identity from the farmer to citizen, the lifestyle from rural life to city life.These series of changes make the group of land-lost farmers in awkward "non-peasant farmers, public on-citizen" social marginalization. Due to cultural differences between urban and rural areas, land-lost farmers are hard to change their way of life to adapt to the demand of urban development at the process of urbanization in a short time, two kinds of cultural conflict inevitably bring a certain amount of resistance on the farmers at the process of cultural adaptation.And it is also land-lost farmers must be experienced a stage in the early life of urban adaptation.In this paper, the Author selects K community of Binhu from Hefei city as fieldwork location, and aim at a land-lost farmer family have interviewed in-depth from K community, and interview survey in-depth through a land-lost farmer family for experiencing a different living conditions in the early city life and later life, obtained a large number of firsthand data.

Most of the land-lost farmers have shown a good ability to adapt to city life and a positive life attitude, although it has presence part of the problem of cultural adaptation more or less. Through the survey found that current development trend is good on acculturation ability of lost-farmer of K community, Which by comparison of the data analysis, different ages have different adaptation state for land-lost farmers groups, we should be focus the acculturation status on different age groups of land-lost farmers, especially we should focus on the acculturation for middle-older age groups, which is the key for studying urbanization of land-lost farmers.Land-lost farmers acculturation is a long-term and hard project, which requires all members of society to participate in the efforts.
