Abstract:  Aging of the rural population is becoming increasingly serious and a large number of young adults move into the city, which challenge the existing formal and informal rural support system for the aged and exacerbate the problems of the rural leftbehind elderly in terms of the economic support, life care and spiritual comfort. In order to improve the quality of life for the rural leftbehind elderly, we should adhere to ‘communityfamily pension mode’ which is homebased and communitydependent; let the pension institutions play the leading role；and at the same time，further improve the rural social insurance and social assistance system；introduce professional talents to improve the quality of pension service.

Key words: aging of population, rural leftbehind elderly, support system
