By using the method of qualitative research,the article interviews in-depth life course of a country family and its members under the background of the social mobility from a underdeveloped village in central China. On this basis there is a deep analysis with life course perspective. Reform and opening up brings social transformation,and the farmers benefit from the prosperity of rural market economy of short duration. But on one hand the subsequent national rise of tide work has made earth-shaking changes in rural families,which many of the traditional families disintegrated,and a great quantity of left-behind families appeared and Family structure, family function, family relationship and family lifestyle are totally different from past.on the other hand it has also influenced the life of millions of rural people and changed Orbit of family member’s life. Out-migrantion for work the left-behind children,and objective environment and human’s initiative function affect the left-behind children socialization, which some children were precocious, being the adult in advance,and the education quality and level of some were restricted by a lot. Important others and the timing can not be ignored, under certain conditions, time is more importance than the thing itself. For those who are working outside, facing the world, which there are changes in ideas, values, they went into the city, but seems to be can not be back to the rural areas. where will their future go? With the out of the young generation, left-behind old people need to take more labor burden, and health security and psychological needs are not being met. in addition, traditional elders authority is weakened greatly, and family control is reduced. The old man in the empty nest that how to spend their twilight years is a problem worthy of thinking deeply. Migrant country family and life trajectory of three generations under social transformation have unprecedented changes,and the human subjective initiative makes each person be their own unique life experience, but the man living in the history due to the restriction of traditional thought and history culture, are closely linked to the social network together, being turned out to be connected to each other. This is what life course theory conveys:the personal life is embedded in the history of the time and events that they experienced in their life time, and shaped by the time and events; Life exists in mutual dependence, and social network makes people become interrelated person; Through their own choice and action, Individuals have opportunities to overcome the restriction of history and the social environment, so as to build their own life course.
