Contemporary China is in the background of the transition period under theeconomic, social and political aspects of undergoing significant changes.Although China in political, economic, social, cultural and educationalaspects of the release of new energy and vitality, but we still exist many problems, and these increasingly serious problem, has seriously affectedChina's social stability and peace a. These problems are mainly in the following areas:With the establishment of China's market economic system, our socialinterests gradually embarked on differentiation, in this case, the gradualformation of a diverse economic interest groups. Of course, the local government in the process of economic development also formed their own interests, and they are the deepening of the economic sphere, directly involved in the process of distribution of economic benefits, this situation will inevitably result in the phenomenon of competition for profits. Therefore, the occurrence of this situation will lead to the deterioration of the officials and the public relations, surrounded by officials and the public interestsdeterioration will lead to further conflict between the officials and the public.In economic and social transition, along with the deepening of economic reform, the composition of the socio-economic, organizational forms,means of employment, interest and allocation of increasingly diverseinterests of the community structure of differentiation restructuring and gradually form a new social classconflicts of interest between people have become increasingly prominent. Relative to the deepening of economic reform and social management system seems to lag, to respond to thediverse mechanisms of social interest demands the absence of the social contradictions highlight the uneven distribution of benefits. Also should be noted that the market mechanism this "invisible hand" of natural to ask for legal recognition of the individual interests and the maximization of individual interests in the form of justice, but because of the differences ofquality, competence, and opportunities, leading to some less competitive,at a disadvantage. These make our society the gap between rich and pooris getting worse.Plus some government officials to disregard the country's laws and regulations for their own selfish interests, at the expense of the interests of the people, and accept other people's bribery, corruption is worsening.In the context of this, we have to explore a viable political solution to help us solve these problems. So what kind of political program is feasible, my answer is that Rawls's political conception of justice. Because we all know, the political outlook is the most important issue of political science, ancient and modern political scientists on the political concept discussed their views, but for various reasons, these political concept not well explain political phenomena and political nature. This paper attempts, through the comparative analysis methodology, and as much as possible in the full rational view of the political value to answer about what is political justice through these general interpretation in the vast literature, we know the characteristics of political justice and its functional value and its basis of ancient Greece, the three angles of the modern and the Marxist analysis of Rawls'political theory of justice resources. Derived from these resources and Rawls's political theory of justice, Rawls' political conception of justice is composed of three first aspect is for us to prove that justice has priority compared with other values, this We recognize the importance of justice, the concept of justice played a decisive impact. Because he gave each of us has retained a clear understanding for justice. The second aspect of equal importance for our contemporary society, Rawls presents us with two major principles of equal justice, freedom and equality principles of the First, citizens. the other is the difference between principles and the principle of equal opportunities. The first principle is to ensure that the rights of citizens in political life, to ensure the most basic rights as a person. The second principle of equal opportunities helping to eliminate the inequality of people at birth, which the difference between the principle of helping to eliminate the people due to the system in economic inequality. These two principles have a feeling, that is equality. Rolls society is equal, then this society is a society of justice. The third aspect is that Rawls provides a feasible plan to achieve justice in a pluralistic society. Three aspects of the summary of Rawls 'political conception of justice, the use of point of view of Marxist and communitarian view that the inadequacies of Rawls'political conception of justice, on this basis, the article attempts to political justice in China to build a harmonious society, maintaining social stability and realize the great significance of the people's livelihood.My innovation lies in the detailed forceful exposition of Rawls 'politicalconception of justice, so that a more comprehensive understanding ofRawls' political conception of justice. At the same time, I understand that alldiscussion of Rawls' political conception of justice, dare not forget my purpose, my goal is for our country in the initial stage of social transformation, find the most suited to China's social reform a viable option.In this regard I beginning to the end to regard Rawls' political conception of justice landed on the practical problems in China. I hope the discussion of Rawls' political conception of justice is conducive to resolving the real problem in our country now. Of course, I can not recognize the results of my research is flawed, I also realized my shortcomings and deficiencies, this deficiency is mainly because of my lack of understanding of Rawls's theorysummary and exposition tension is not enough, insufficient depth. I always wanted to practical problems linked to the domestic and led to the theory oflack of support reality.
