Abstract
As the household contract responsibility system was implemented in the rural areas, the CMS ran into enormous difficulty and slowly disintegrated. By 1985, the percentage of the villages having the CMS had plummeted from an all-time high of 90 % to a mere 5 %. 1989 witnessed the dominance of privately financed medical service (out-of-pocket payments), while the CMS remained in only 4.8 % of the villages (Gu Tao et al. 1998). By the early 1990s, the CMS had shrunk so much that it could only be found in the “South of Jiangsu Province and Shanghai.”

The collective role in the South Jiangsu Model was analyzed in depth by Dr. Pan Wei in his book Peasants and the Market (Commercial Press, 2003). Lu Dewen’s “Reflections on the Peasants and the Market” (Reading, Vol. IX, 2009) also commented on this.
