The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the civil rights realization of migrant workers under the background of Chinese modern national construction.This article has retrospected the process of chinese transformation to a modern state through the interaction between state and pesants for more than half a century,which mainly adopted the historical institutionalism and theories of conflict and response as analysis tools with empirical research and document analysis.State and pesants depend on each other. they worked closely whileas conflicted with the counterpart during this process.Their cooperation promoted the construction of a modern state and their conflict boosted the development of the modern state through the production relations adjustment as well.State gradually brough about modernization.As the main body of chinese population,peasants has transformed from traditional farmer to modern citizens during the process. Therefore, so to speak,the process,migrant workers fought for their own rights,is the process which pesants strove for their civil rights,and so to the modern citizen.Pesants changed the country in this process, vis-a-vis,the latter transformed the former."state and pesants isomorphism" propeled the construction of modern state.This article takes migrant workers’civil rights as specific research perspective. In order to Stable agricultural production and Support industrial and urban construction, Farmers can’t control their own economic and personal freedom which resulted from controlled procurement and distribution, people’s commune and household registration system,due to the the purpose of construction a modern state in a short time. With nearly twenty years endless efforts, peasants fix farm output quotas on the household basis and obtain the land,thus realize the economic independence, personal freedom. This brought out migrant workers.The process, peasant transformed into migrant workers,was full of twists and turns.Peasant have come at a huge cost in order to fight for the legal rights of their work, free migration, free choice. With all these efforts, their identity was finally being recognized, they became the main body of Chinese industrial working class. Also for the economic construction of the country, have made great contributions to They contributed to the development of the national economy and the community.All sectors of the community began to pay close attention to the rights protection of migrant workers.However, the political, economic and social rights of migrant worker still can’t get equal protection.With a lot of data and information in this article, it described the current situation of the rights of migrant workers, and analyzed the reasons why did make it so. In recent years,migrant workers increasingly asserted and defended their rights,and showed some new trends compared with the past.By the typical case of Foxconn,Zengcheng,and Honda strike, we can grasp the new trends. These events show that it is very urgent to solve migrant workers’civil rights, and also indicates if we work correctly, it would contributed to the maturation and development of civil society in China, and these will greatly promotet the construction process of the modern State of China.The main conclusion of this article are:The growth of the modern state and peasant is an interactive process.In this process,state and peasant grown and progressed together, which had laid a solid foundation for Chinese modernization. It can be said that migrant workers,who fought for theircivil rights,has promoted the process of growth and development of modern China.The process,which migrant workers fought for theircivil rights,is a conflict and respond process.In this process,peasants had always played the collision role to the unreasonable system while state are constantly adjusting the existing institutional framework as to meet the new requirements of productivity development.They both continue to running-in and adjustment which promoted the development and progress of the society.The process,which migrant workers to struggle for their civil rights,is a joint action combined with constitutional empower, market empower, social empower, administrative empower and self empower.In most ways, the progress of migrant workers’civil rights are mainly from the market empower at present,but it need the active empowerment from country whileas depended too much on market in the long run.The advances on migrant workers’rights protection will promote the development of chinese social and political development.In the present and past,migrant workers have promoted chinese economic development.With the focus shifted from the economic rights to the social and political ones, They will motivate the development of chinese sociaty and politics.Modernization of the country has caused social differentiation which contained identity,wealth and social status difference.and the same time,it will make the modernity consciousness,such as,equality,human rights, citizen, the rule of law,thorough popular.Most migrant workers have received a modern education.Under the influence of city life,the consciousness of their rights has generally enhanced, while the willingness and ability to maintain their own interests has improved as well.The process,which migrant workers’civil rights returned and the modern state formed,is synchronous.The date when migrant workers enjoy equal national treatment is the date when China completed modern national construction.It can be said that there is no national modernization without the peasants modernization in China today.They both closely linked to eath other.The imperfect of peasants’rights protection is one of the great imperfects to national modernization. When migrant workers enjoyed equal rights,it means that China has realized the project of modern national construction.
