The occupational status attainment of the elitist is the pet and sensitive subject in sociology. The author chooses a county-level city as the research area, make use of investigation and study, individual interview as the main research methods, does research and analysis to a particular elitist group whose administrative ranks are relatively less, the amount is relatively fewer and the relations are relatively more complex to the other levels of the country. We discover that the institution of selecting and appointing cadres in China has been improved. The core of the institution is unique and permanent authority of the Chinese Communist Party. The institution keeps to the fundamental of paying attention to the objective deeds, promoting competition, being inspected democraticUy and in public, which incarnates the essence of democracy, openness, justice and preferred oriented. Actually, as China is in the period of social change from a traditional and close society to a modern and open one, the ascribed factors and the attained factors more or less have effect on the occupational status attainment of the elitist. Either of them has no decisive advantage, but they combines together to make affection, which incarnates the character of the social change in China.Social capital plays an important role in the occupational status attainment of the elitist. Elitists of different levels possess of positional social capital of various quantity and quality, which is in favor of constructing close affection such as trust and social network of high quality and high density with the keyman inside and outside the work, which is in favor of constructing structural advantage and strong tie advantage. So an interaction pattern between social capital and positions comes into being.
