Toudu is Chinese common saying of illegal immigrating. Illegal immigrating in the world has never ceased, so it attracts many scholars' attentions. There are lots of researches on illegal immigrating problem in and out of China, and it is discussed from each discipline's perspective. This paper will take illegal immigrating activity as deviant behavior, hence it will be discussed from subculture theory's perspective of Deviant Sociology. Illegal immigrating activity in Fuzhou's coastal district has long historical origin and contemporary background. Fuzhou is locating on the southeast coast of China, and has become an important port trading with foreign countries and a window for communication from Han Dynasty. Although experiencing some times' "forbidden-sailing" during Ming and Qing Dynasty, Fuzhounese have never stopped going abroad. Nowadays pushed by wave of world illegal immigrating and Chinese Overseas Rush, thousands of rural people in coastal district have been migrating to western countries illegally. Because it has rarely seen specialized researches concerning active illegal -immigrating district among existing ones, this paper tries to do a systematic study on social problems caused by illegal immigrating in this area. It has dual meanings on both theoretical and applied domains. The paper is going to employ questionnaires with interview survey method to collect information. Long-lasting and frequent illegal immigrating activities made this area form a special subculture, in which yielded many social problems deserving our concerning. On microscopic side: family structure changed, and it brought on family problems such as husband-wife problem, old men's problem of supporting and caring, teenagers' nurturing and marriage problem, moreover it appeared a group of idlers who are unwilling to be employed domestically. On macroscopic side: under the illegal immigrating subculture, people's outlook on value and pursuit deviated, local education transformed according to circumstances, local authority held a contradictory attitude to treat illegal immigrating problem, abundant folk capital can't be used effectively and don't be a motive power of local development, government bottom organization exerts its power reluctantly.
