Abstract
The author visited Kaixiangong in the summer of 1981 for an update of the renowned village/commune studies by Fei (1946) and Geddes (1963). The primary focus is on population, female infanticide, family and household structure, and the effects of family planning; some consideration is also given to land use, housing, and transportation. The previous researchers’ approaches to population statistics are critiqued.
