In the early days of reform and opening up, with the encouragement of the Party and the government, the people in southern Jiangsu actively explored the development of township enterprises, and developed rapidly through self-financing and independent operation. These township enterprises have made great contributions to the local economic development, provided a large number of employment opportunities for rural labor force and promoted the development of rural economy.
The emergence and development of township enterprises is an important change in the development of rural economy in southern Jiangsu, and it is also an important attempt to transform and upgrade rural economy in China. In this process, the masses in southern Jiangsu played an important role, and they made valuable contributions to the local economic construction with the spirit of active exploration and innovation.
