Under the background of the binary social structure of town and country, Chinese farmer workers have created a new style that fuses the development of town and country. Because of the accelerating of urbanism, more and more fanner workers go into town, thus both the quantity and the scale of those farmer workers are bigger than ever. Farmer workers become inevitably the outcome of industrialization, modernization and urbanism, which have unique Chinese characteristic and " special identity group "during the transitional process of Chinese social structure. Urbanism is a significant course of economic and social structural transition, in this process, we should not only pay attention to the enlargement of city scale, the perfection of city function, but also pay more attention to the development of the main strength that promotes the development and flourish of city- farmer workers. It is under this background that the academic circles put forward the proposition of " farmer workers melted to be resident population of city ". Obviously the above proposition was put forward on the bases of the worry of the present living situation farmer workers face, the thinking of farmer workers' development tendency as well as the relationship between them and urbanism. Farmer workers are " groups of elites with rough root ", their level of education is relatively higher, and most of them are young, strong or have certain professional skill. Because of systemic reasons, individual reasons and other reasons such as social environment, most of them can not blend or melt in city both in social layer and cultural layer, thus many of these farmer workers become edge persons of metropolis after entering city from country. We hope that the putting forward of this proposition can arouse the attention of our society and the related government sector on this problem, so that these city immigrants can be treated in the angle of protecting their work rights, interests and development instead of being treated on the habit-forming stand, that is," the standard of resident benefit "and " the standard of the need of self-development of city"." Civilization of farmer workers " does not mean to have rural population mechanically stipulated as urban population, it is a complex course which is concerned with system innovation, identity transformation, city- fitting and right getting. This paper gets the first hand information from questionnaire investigation and face-to-face interviews. It starts with the conception of farmer, resident and the resident of fanner workers , then analyzes the proposition of this paper from two angles- macroscopic system layer and microscopic individual layer. In system layer this paper have discussed the solidify of peasant identity, the relationship between system reform of registered permanent residence and the identity transform of farmer workers, and put forward the problem existing in identity equality between farmer workers and city residents; In individual layer this paper point out that the melting of farmer workers to be resident of city is a " course of transformation ", it is a continuous table that goes from farmer workers to residents of city .As for this continuous table, we can regard it as the process that farmer workers get modernity, in practice it shows farmer workers' adaptation to city life as well as the change in life style, viewpoint of value and social association after suiting themselves for the life in city. At the same time, the author have carried out specific analysis on this course using investigation data and have discussed the influence of gender, age, educational level, family, as well as marital status on farmer workers' adaptation to city. Finally, this paper, according to the previous analysis, has put forward its own conclusion as follows: first, we should rely on system innovation to have farmer workers become the city 's resident population, the present system of permanent registered residence should be reformed to mainly undertake the social management function of civil registration. And at the same time compose farmer workers the same right equals to other citizens; second, civilization of farmer workers relies on their own initiative and positive action, which can not only realize the over-leap that goes from country culture to the city culture, but also raise their ability to get steady work occupations in city, and the ability to meet the life-style of city as well. Of course, it needs our society to offer strong help to these city immigrants from all kinds of channels.
