Coordinates: 33°48′35″N 113°57′50″E / 33.80972°N 113.96389°E Nanjie (Chinese: 南街村; pinyin: Nánjiē Cūn) is a village in Linying County, Luohe prefecture, Henan, China, widely reported as the last Maoist village in China.[1][2][3]
It collectivised its agricultural production and industry in the mid 1980s - when the rest of the country was doing the opposite, introducing market reforms put forward by former leader Deng Xiaoping. It continues to be run on Maoist egalitarian lines and has become something of a tourist attraction because of its staunch adherence to the values of the past.
