Abstract: This paper reviews the evolution of land system in modern China and shows that since the implement of the household contract responsibility system in rural areas in 1978, the reform of land system have stagnated in general. On one hand, local government is over-relied on land finance, making the population urbanization far behind the space urbanization and the intensification of contradictions among industrialization, urbanization and farmland protection. On the other hand, farmers' land rights have been seriously destroyed with small-scale land management and the difficulty of income increasing. Hence, the group-resistance events occur frequently and the demand of land ownership is rising. Based on the comparison of various reform suggestions, this paper proposes a program of multiple ownerships of land and gradual reform. It stresses that the construction of multiple ownership should be based on principle of public and non-public interest, and the state-owned land should also be multiple owned by central and local governments.
