Abstract
Abstract: To facilitate industralisation and, hence, urban economic growth from the mid-20 century, China has been undergoing entrenched rural-urban divide economically, socially, institutionally and otherwise. In this paper, the author would outline how the Central Government of China has created the structural, institutional inequalities between rural and urban regions. The author would holistically discuss how rural Chinese communities are vertically inherited fewer resources to improve their social positions, leading to intergenerational reproduction of social, economic, educational, institutional, political, cultural and linguistic inequalities.
