Under the comprehension function of domestic and international factors, China raised its international status greatly in a short time, even once become one of four great powers in the world (America, British, Soviet Union and China).However, after the Cairo Conference, China's powerful image was confronted with a series of embarrassed situation-its power status had fallen sharply, which was finally bankrupt in the Yalta Conference. This thesis analyzed the gain and loss of China's power status (1941-1945), and gave a full display of the dramatic change in the context of Anti-Fascism War. Through the analysis of the reasons of this history phenomenon, the author indicated that in the anti-Japanese war China was just a special "War-time Power", and its corresponding international status was also a special "War-time Power Status". Therefore, to be a real great power in the world stage, China must have a strong comprehensive national power.
