Du Runsheng held the post of secretary general, Rural Work Department, in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee at the time the nation was founded. Concurrently he was deputy director of the Agriculture and Forestry Department of the State Council. After the Third Plenum of the 11th Central Committee of the CCP (1978), he held the post of director, Rural Policy of the CCP Central Committee, and director of the Rural Department, Research Center for Rural Development (RCRD), State Council, where he was mainly responsible for China’s rural economic reforms and development policy research. Du was often asked by the leadership to draft rural-related policy documents for the Central Committee of the CCP and the State Council. He worked in particular on the drafting of "No. 1 Documents," which were issued continuously for five years by the CCP Central Committee, and which made outstanding theoretical and practical contributions, deepening rural economic reform and setting up the rural household contract responsibility system that advanced the market reform of the rural economy.
