The compulsory purchase of collective property fulfils the pressing needs; however, the peasants pay costly by losing subsisted land and become unemployed. Accordingly, to defend their personal concerns is a vital issue not only related to people's livelihood, but also to social stability and harmonious progress. In this article, I take the policy of compulsory purchase in Changzhou as a case. Basing on the current condition and theories of compulsory purchase of farmland, I deal with the principles, standards, means and procedure of compensation, and give the solution in the conclusion.This article consists of five parts. The first part is on the historiography of compulsory purchase, the significance and framework of my research. The second part focuses on the related theories, such as land tax theory, property right theory, theory of land development and public governance theory. The third part emphasizes the practices and its following problems in execution of compulsory purchase in Changzhou. Moreover, I try to analyze and shed light on these problems in depth.
