This dissertation makes Modern Sunan as the centre to conduct a more systematic study of the treatment of migrant workers, including material treatment,psychological treatment and social treatment of three aspects. Material benefits include wages and benefits in two parts. The factors that affected the wages of migrant workers had a "multiplicity", which "technology" factor was essential, those who had higher level skills can earn higher wages; price fluctuations led to the instability in real wages of migrant workers; the wages can not be completely fulfilled because of numerous deductions and arrears, "discount" wages made it difficult to improve the quality of life. Welfare of migrant workers was in poor condition and lack of basic necessities, but the consumer cooperatives as a welfare helped them cope with rising prices and improve the treatment.The psychological treatment could not be satisfactory, mainly the basic spiritual needs could not be met or even distorted, the development in profession could not be totally supported, and the personality self-reliance could not be optimistic. The basic spiritual needs were not fully met, which made them even love home more. Their leisure needs did not cause attention, which made the available leisure facilities extremely limited. Although the adoption of the "back", "front" of the move to air their grievances, the psychological problems could not be resolved fundamentally. As the development in profession could not be totally supported, the migrant workers and their children could not freely get the"labor education", while facing the "supply" and "own" dilemma. The personality self-reliance could not be optimistic, which reduced their autonomy to survival mainly on the "objects", even subjected to various insults and blame. The awareness to the outside world was limited, but they also gave a voice through the media in attention. From farmers to workers, the concept of punctuality can be gradually replaced by punishment and reward.Social treatment includes national treatment and social status of two aspects. Weakness of national treatment made them low wages, and had to struggle for survival; occupational health and medical welfare in poor condition made it difficult to guarantee the right to health; the lack of political awareness and participation in an "avocation" to protect the basic rights can not be achieved, and the state and the employers did not give support also. The migrant workers in the space of social relations relatively and the rights and obligations primarily reflected the real state of their social status. While the migrant workers challenged to the "front" position by their union and a third party, but it would not easily alienate the rights of employers. The government obviously played a crucial role on their striving for an equal right and protecting their interests. The Republic of China promulgated a number of laws and regulations to protect their rights and interests, but failed to implement; the internal strife -- apprenticeships, non-union members were marginalized -- limited the social status to improve. In addition, social status and national treatment was related closely, accession to national treatment restricted their social status, while social status was conducive to the improvement of the accession to national treatment.
