中国的农村因为城市的发展正在迅速改变，根据对北方农村YGZ村的一些记忆和调查发现，在很大程度上消逝的是农业生产活动，并非村庄本身。观察表明，YGZ村依然保持着小农经营模式，只是其粮食生产已经淡出了主营生产活动范畴，与农业产品转变和土地调整、城市建设以及粮食价格调整等有密切关联。务工经济已经在村民的尝试中形成主体发展形式，走出农村，在“城市”的机械式的部门生产中投入汗水、赚取财富；但与空心村不同，该村村民并未放弃土地，干中学、干中试，不断探寻着自己的生存道路。而时至当下，YGZ村村民或将又需要面临一个新的选择。该村庄的未来在哪里？仍需要研究不断地追问；遵循实地调查研究方法，从典型事件分析出发依然是后续研究展开的有效手段。

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.
