Abstract: From the entrepreneurial experiences of college-graduate village officials,if they wish to create a good prospect in their village work,they must break barriers in the three aspects: finance,technology,and exterior support. The most common way of setting up startups is to get close to the development direction that already exists in the local villages or regions and to find a point of connection in the general direction,combined with their own interest,resources,and innovative ideas. In this way,they may make use of the existing development foundation and also more likely get approval from the township government and village leadership. College-graduate village officials sensitive of entrepreneurship and business may stay together and the peer circles with creative spirit can easily become centers collecting and distributing entrepreneurial and supportive policy information. Activated by some catalyzers,such circles may turn into entrepreneurial teams.In the entire process of projects with their own core technology,the college-graduates are the integrators and controllers of all the production information. The initial stage might be difficult,but once the projects get into the stable stage,they may have the freedom to choose partners and ways of collaboration and decide to what extent they can transfer their technology. More importantly,they are the biggest controllers of the final profit.Community cooperatives formed by these college-graduate village officials are often collectives of medium and small farm households,particularly in the field of new product development.

Key words: college-graduate village officials, grassroots entrepreneurship, self-retained technology, rural development, youth returning home in the countryside
