The traditional village community is a group of people with common value and the same pursuit of interests. As industrialization and modernity increased, it makes the traditional village community gradually decline and disintegrate. This paper takes a remote W village as example, attempts to explore its performances and causes in the face of modern industrialization and civilization, through recalling the change of history of this traditional village community. This poor village tries to change their own fate by hard work and some other activities. Through the case study, it is found that the decline of the W village community is mainly manifested by the decline of the rural public living space, the villagers' collective consciousness, the decrease of the village culture identity and the weakening of supervision of the rural public opinion. Through the theory of social change, it analyzes why the village community to decline or even collapse, its factors includes market economy system reform, the village property rights structure adjustment, the lack of community function. In the transition from the traditional agricultural society to the modern industrial society, the village community inevitably fades down or even disintegrates.
