The problems of children left-behind have been concerned of the society for a long time. But the academia is usually more concerned about the negative side of children left behind. Many studies have shown a greater likelihood of psychological and behavioral problems on children left behind. This study is based on the life events of children left behind experienced, to explore the development of two kind of positive quality:resilience and subjective well-being (SWB). Whether the children left behind developed well or bad in adverse environments, the status of his or her resilience is a key element. And the evaluation of their own lives, will decide their experience on life: more joy or more pain. If the children left behind are satisfied with their life, and they usually feel happy, they will have less mental health problems and less behavior problems; Conversely, if they are not satisfied with their life, they will often experience negativeemotions, and then they will exhibit some psychological or behavioralproblems. Therefore, as a index for individuals to evaluate their ownlife, SWB is an important psychological variable we should concern of.In this study, through questionnaires, we can understand the status ofleft-behind children’s life events, resilience and SWB, and we canunderstand the relationship among the three explorations. And thenwe can provide ideas for the people who want to improve the status ofSWB on children left-behind.In this study, adolescent life event scale (ASLEC), adolescentresilience scale and adolescent SWB scale were used to investigate981rural secondary school students who are from Henan Province.The following conclusions are obtained:(1) There is a significant difference in the life events and theirfactors for left-behind and non left-behind children.
