Abstract
The Chinese government has long attached great importance to rural revitalization. The harmony and stability in rural areas are the fundamental guarantees of rural sustainable economic growth and farmers’ prosperity, and they rely on effective rural governance. Taking the Fu’an City in Fujian Province of China as an example, this paper analyzes the rural governance problems arising from the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy with the method of dynamic games with incomplete information after data collection by on-the-spot investigation and file inquiry, etc. The results show that the “solicitation” behavior of village B to increase its own income does not maximize the income of village B and village N; Even under the optimal state of income distribution is derived through the game model, the income distribution between the two villages is still unfair to village N, the investor of the “Waterlands Resort”. Therefore, in order to solve the rural governance problems caused by the distribution of benefits between village B and village N, government subsidies, property rights protection, village rules and regulations are required. Besides, the leading role of rural grassroots organizations should be given full play, and villagers’ self-governing system needs to be improved.
Highlights
Rural governance is a rural reform strategy that combines top-down macro-management of rural areas by the modern state and bottom-up self-transformation by traditional villages (Gao and Wu, 2017)

Since the beginning of modern times, major developed countries have formed a pattern of firstly pursuing industrialization and urbanization at the expense of the development of rural areas, and conducting rural reconstruction or rural governance through the top-level design to gradually achieve rural integration, rural interaction, urban-rural integration and eventually rural revitalization
Summary
Rural governance is a rural reform strategy that combines top-down macro-management of rural areas by the modern state and bottom-up self-transformation by traditional villages (Gao and Wu, 2017). It plays an important role in maintaining rural stability and social harmony. The East Asian rural governance models, including the “Village Making Movement” in Japan and the “New Village Movement” in South Korea, aim at narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas and revitalizing rural development. The above-mentioned rural governance models have proven to be effective in raising farmers’ income, improving their quality of life, narrowing the urban-rural gap, and promoting modern rural development. The rest of this paper is organized as follows: Chapter 2 is literature review, Chapter 3 presents research problems, Chapter 4 presents the analysis of these problems by the dynamic games with incomplete information and the findings, Chapter 5 provides countermeasures and suggestions, Chapter 6 is the conclusion
