This article mainly probes into the present situation and foundamental countermeasures of the supporting problem in Chinese rural areas.After pointing out the rural supporting problems,the paper reviews the history of Chinese rural elder security.It can be divided into three stages.The first stage is before the PRC抯 foundation.Ln this stage,the Chinese rural elder mainly relied on family supporting .The second stage is from 1949 to the late of the 80抯.In this stage,family supporting was the chief part of the rural elder security system,though the government of the PRC抯 had draw up some policies for the rural elders.The third stage is since 1990.In this stage,China has carried out Rural Social Endowment Insurance(RSEI).But the rural families were still playing an important role in supporting the rural elders.And its content was enriched.Then, using the data from social investigation,the paper analyses the present situation of the way that the Chinese rural elders spend their old age.This analysis is developed in four aspects:the rural elder抯 self supporting, the rural elder抯 family supporting ,the rural elder抯 feelings for the present supporting conditions and the difficulties & problems in their supporting processes.By statistical analysis,the author found that:( I )At present,the rural elders in China were mainly supported by families and subsidiarily by self supporting & few social supporting ways.(2)Most rural elders can gain economic,nursing and spiritual support from their children.They feel satisfied with the family supporting.And they believe that their children are willing to support them.(3)However,there are some difficulties and problems in their supporting processes,especially the economic problems.After this analysis,the author makes a comparative rethinking between the rural family supporting and the RSEI.The author deems that family supporting has its vitality in supporting the rural elders.But at the other hand,the RSEI has its limitations because of its own institutional defects and the difficulties in operating.Toward this situation and according to the tendency of rural elder security,the author puts forward the basic project to solve the rural elder supporting problem at present and in the days to come.
