Abstract In the past hundred years, Chinese rural education has experienced a complex process from “bring literacy to countryside” to “take literacy away countryside”, which seems opposite superficially however behavior consistent essentially. Going further, both of them are control strategies and operate means of “Developmentalism” modern logic and “Nationalism” political logic in different stages. To understand the root cause from “bring to” to “take away”, it is needed to consider the possibility back in multilevel elements of Chinese countryside changes and transformation during hundred years, as well as analysis the necessity deep in difficulties of local educational development in daily reality. Then, break the theoretic swing between “urbanization” and “localism” in Chinese rural education under the contemporary context of post “take literacy away countryside”, and ultimately create a rural-urban educational balanced road under the new urbanization context.
