Abstract: Since the founding of the Communist Party of China, striving to seek happiness for farmers has been an important mission in CPC history. Under the leadership of CPC, farmers were freed from the shackles of feudal land ownership with means of production redistribution, and through continuous adjustment of production relations. After 1949, the collective ownership of agricultural means of production was realized, and the people's commune system was established on this basis. Since the reform and opening up, the "separation of the two rights" of agricultural land and the household contract responsibility system have laid a foundation for making full use of the market economic system to promote rural economic development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party has continued to make efforts to build a new socialist countryside through the separation of land ownership, "precise poverty alleviation" and rural revitalization. Systematical summary of the experience of the Party in seeking happiness for farmers in different historical periods can provide lessons for promoting rural revitalization.

Key words: Chinese Communist Party, farmers, agricultural means of production, socialist new countryside, rural revitalization
