New Era, further analysis explored in recent years with the modern and postmodern cultural context, human nature is increasingly developing out from the background of ethical, moral, ethnic, political and cultural phenomenon, which also attracted more and more media on the individual fate of the care. Advocate and respect for human life, dignity, values, emotions, the spirit of freedom, the media and concerned about people’s comprehensive development, and survival status of their destiny, more and more closely related to happiness.As important cultural strength, media has the effect in the order of integrating social norms to guide social norms and shape the role. In the operation of the society, the mass media is how to present the individual way of life? The media is how to guide and regulate the individual’s socialization process? These questions come down to is:the mass media in the rendering of the individual based on how the power to discipline the individual’s social evolution.China’s ruling class-the working class, he rendered in the process of historical development from the politically powerful groups fall status of vulnerable groups of society. Body theory perspective, the "People’s Daily" for the media samples, select a more representative group since its founding:exemplary workers, laid-off workers, migrant workers is the case, to try to get a glimpse of these typical individual the above problems evident.In the body of the model for workers in this period from1949to1976, reflects the emphasis from the early days of "scientific measurement" plain image to the "Great Leap Forward" period "exaggerated aggressive" until the "Cultural Revolution" Typical reported the fake, big, empty, full,"the apotheosis of the heroic image of the gradient. The image of the workers in this period, the media is mainly based on the discourse of class revolution, highlighting the image of the typical character and political movements are intricately linked political state ideology naked fight in the body of the working class. The year1994to2005, there have bring a large number of laid-off workers because of the national economic system restructuring. The media reported this group, clever reports focus replaced by the laid-off workers laid-off workers, to create a "not afraid of difficulties, the successful transition to the laid-off workers, the media presents. Media of class and gender masking each other’s way of lending, a very sensitive class proposition soften passed on to become the gender proposition. This media strategy and the collusion of the mainstream discourse, ideology connotation in the news reports to the social fact that digestion is unknown or anonymous state, the alternative of acute social conflicts in a positive spirit of the trend, deeply hidden.The efforts of countries to break the dual structure, in the first decade of the new millennium,2000to2009, the emergence of groups of migrant workers has become the focus of the countries in the process of urbanization. Mainstream media to the public of the evolution of the specification of migrant workers, in essence, that is, the "urban culture" and "traditional peasant culture" of the collision, the city of intellectual authority in the city of guidance and acceptance of migrant workers integrate into the process, the default a city as a prerequisite of the dominant culture. This is a space discipline, discourse strategy. Migrant workers are also a daily, informal organization, the way to make their resistance to the social elite discourse.The study found that the discourse hegemony have not left the media the shaping of the working class. It is merely going through a revolutionary discourse, gender passed on urbanization "coat" covering process. The People’s Daily as a the mainstream media reflects conform to the press law of development, the shape of the demand of social development efforts made by the working class discourse conversion, in the course of history. A way of advancing with the times, standardized through the modernization process of the working class should be under the surveillance of the national discourse.
