Based on the analysis of typical cases, this paper explores the types of village cadres' successors and their economic and social characteristics in the central and western regions. The study found that while the population of the central and western regions has flowed out of rural areas, there are still some "backbone farmers" who have become effective successors to village cadres. By analyzing the economic and social foundation and attributes of the "backbone farmers"—the main body of the current village cadres and their successors, it explores why the "backbone farmers " can stay on the village and are willing to be the "heads" of the village's public affairs,which provide first-hand information for the state and local governments to understand the status quo of the successors of village cadres in rural areas in the central and western regions and formulate relevant policies and measures.
