Chen Village may interest you. Very local and small-scale, but extensively covers local life of a village from shortly before the cultural revolution to mid 2000s. Most of it is during the cultural revolution, which provides some insight into how it was received / practiced in a relatively 'normal' rural peasant village, which is neat because usually the focus is on the urban side of things
Did you ever read Fangshen? It is a similar scale, told by a white USan journalist, and goes from 30s-50s. Would be neat to have read portraits of the major stages of change of rural life in China.
