In China, there have been three times profound social transitions during the almost 100 years development course since the 1911 Revolution. The first is the 1911 Revolution which overthrew the 2000-year long feudal autocratic monarchy; the second is the foundation of the People's Republic of China and the establishment of socialist system; the on-going great cause of reform and opening-up is the third. Our 30 years opening to the outside world and domestic reform are essentially a process of social transformation. Generally, three major considerations of social transformation are the factors of cultural, economic, political. Especially the political factor, namely, political organizations, political behavior, such as political participation, the central role of the politicians. Therefore, the ignorance of any social stratum's political participation will impact the speed of social transformation.Since 1980s, the further development of reform has promoted the rapid progress of our social productivity especially the mechanization and modernization of agricultural productive form and the increase in population of rural areas cause the decrease of per-capita area and the appearance of the surplus agricultural labor force. Meanwhile, the promotion of social system reform especially the looseness of dual management system between urban and rural areas objectively brings the transferring of the rural superfluous labors to developed regions and citied in order to obtain economic benefits, thus reappearing the peasant worker class(a transient phenomenon that peasant-workers went into town once occurred after Liberation) which has an amazing large number and scale. According to the statistics of relevant departments, the number breaks through 150 mollion to 220 mollion. Here, the peasant workers are not a class appeared after liberation but a group in the specific period---after the start of form and opening, that is a group generated during the transitional period under the background of reform and opening. To a great extent, the appearance of this stratum changes the outlook of China. The peasant workers have become the work force for industrialization and urbanization since the reform and have made great contributions to the development of our country through their diligence and hard work, which has been known in academic circles and government. According to the academic research, the present peasant workers of our country can be divided into two parts: the ones engaged in local non-agricultural production and the peasant workers transferred to another advanced cities. The peasant workers in this paper refer to the ones working in another cities. However, because of such factors as government administrative system, the farmer workers themselves and the political, intellectual influences ect., the group of peasant workers can only do labour though they are not afraid of it. Their rights and interest were denied by the management and even the government public construction management such as unequal pay for equal work, same work but different time, default on payment and difficult industrial injury claims ect. Due to their non-sufficient self quality, limited right-safeguarding ability, the imperfect safeguarding policy and un-ideal safeguarding ways, peasant workers'economic interests and other rights are damaged. This phenomenon shows that the development of politically structural reform and the growing political and economic appeal of peasant workers are dislocated and contradictive. The contradition can bring pressure to present management system if it isn't resolved efficiently. Our political and democratic goal will hard to reach. The sprite of socialist democracy and the profound connotation of people being the masters of the country can't be represented.Based on the Marxist Fundament that the economic base determines the superstructure and the superstructure must agree with the economic base, this paper tries to explore present situation that peasant workers'political participation can't match their present political rights from the perspective of political participation. The government should bring the peasant workers into the local political participation system, improve their discourse power in democratic life, make their interests and will embodied in the policy and truly realise their personal citizen dignities. The peasant workers should not passively accepting but truly be"represented"in the benefit gambling with manager and obtain their own discourse power in"tripartite coordination mechanism"and embody their own will in government labour policy.
