Based on careful analysis, this dissertation jumps to a conclusion that in current China the middle class has come into being and is gradually growing up, that it is playing a demonstrative role in the field of culture and functions as a puller for the development of economy and a protector for the social order. But with some problems intra-class, such as unsuitable scale, unreasonable structure and etc., what it has done is far from what we expect and what we need. Thus, Chinese government and social members have to take some effective measures, including economic, political, social and cultural ones, to care it and boost it. In this aspect, we can take some lessons form U.S.A, France as well as Japan. They lay stress on education, transformation of rural forces and social identification to the middle class respectively in their process of fostering middle class.
