The expressway and the high-speed transport system formed by it will have tremendous influence on social economy through space effects, time effects, market effects and the gathered effects. But there is one fact should not be overlooked, along with the construction of expressways, there will be a large number of farmers losing their survival lands. If the compensation for land expropriation and resettlement to farmers is unreasonable, under the condition that economic deprivation and sustainable livelihoods being unable to be guaranteed, they will become new social unstable factors. In China, farmers are often compensated by the statutory standards for land expropriation in expressway construction. This standard of compensation can't reflect the different degree of influence that expressway has on the regions along it. The compensation method with single money can't safeguard farmers' long-time livelihoods, and it can't reflect the difference of their dependence on their lands. Because of the problems in compensation and resettlement, this paper puts forward theory of "Compensating Differential" on the basis of anthropocentric economics. This theory claims that the compensation for lands to farmers should use different standards according to highways' different radiation degree to social economy; and adopt different compensation methods according to the different dependence of farmers' families on lands. Social fair is greatly considered in this theory. We can guide work of compensation for land expropriation in expressway construction. Therefore, this theory has both theoretical and practical value.
