The migration from the rural to the cities and the change from the agriculture to non-agricultural industries are natural phenomenon in the global process of industrialization and urbanization. Being different from the single type of Western developed countries, the migration of migrant workers in China presented Pendulum-Type or Migratory because of its unique strategy of the Urbanization and Industrialization and the existence of structural constraints including the Household Registration System. It is after the financial crisis in 2008 that the number of migrant workers who return actively has been increasing. Governments and scholars give them a great deal of attention. What is the basic situation of migrant workers? In the end what causes them to choose to return home? What did the Work in the cities change them? What main kind of work do they do after they return home? What is the migrant workers' influence in the family? How do they educate their children? So what kind of impact do they bring to the local community and the process of urbanization? I try to start answering these questions from the micro level regarding the rational analysis of the migrant workers as the main line.This paper has taken a field investigation to observe the returning migrant workers' living and working. On this basis, we selected 10 migrant workers' families to deeply interview with.
