Shanghai Takes Lead to Bring a 'Vanish' of Peasants

Shanghai will become the first Chinese city where peasants completely "disappear". After Qingpu County was upgraded to a district of Shanghai, seven-tenth of the counties in suburban Shanghai have completed the change to small cities. In the near future, all its suburban counties will complete the change and there will be no more "peasants" in their traditional sense, but "suburban citizen".
