Owing to the development of urban areas, rural area in China is changing fast. Based on some memory and surveys of the YGZ village in north China, this paper shows that what has been depressed is the agriculture but the village itself is not. Investigation shows that the YGZ village is still maintaining a small-peasant economy model, but with grain production activities been out of the main activity category, that state is closely connected with the transformation of agricultural raw product, the land adjustment, urban development and grain’s price change. Non-farming job in urban sector has been become the main type of rural economic development, away from the village, countrymen are earning their life in the urban. However, unlike the hollow village, people in the YGZ village haven’t given up the land, through learning by doing, trying in doing, they are seeking their own survival roads. Up to now, villagers in the YGZ village may need to face another choice. How is the future of this village? It still needs to study continuously. Meaningfully, the investigation method taking by this paper, starting from the analysis of typical events, is still an effective way to follow-up studies.
