Based on the previous research and practice, the paper finds that social work in the western region is facing four problems:specialization of social work occupation is not enough, mainly depending on the administrative logic; professionalism of the occupation is not high, let alone differentiation and competition; social prestige of social work occupation is too low, making it difficult to attract and retain talents; reform of social work occupation is in slow development, lack of stamina and power. The following would account for the problems:the lack of social development; the market is weak; the function of university as think-tank for the development of social work has not yet been demonstrated; the government should serve as a major external driving force, however, the fact is not like this. The government is the crucial point to break the social work development dilemma in the western region.

Criticizing the traditional abstract spiritual life of transcendental ontology as the logical starting point, and eliminating the social division of labor, private ownership, capital logic and other capitalist mode of production as the logic stating way of Marx's theory of spiritual production, and seeking to realize people's development in an all-round way as logical target of spiritual production, Marx constitutes a logical context and spirit of his theory of spiritual production. To overcome the materialized dilemma of contemporary spiritual life and to resolve the mental anxiety and confusion of the era, we must firmly grasp and follow the spirit of the Marxist ideology of production, eliminate the one-sidedness, fragmentation, and the fragmented way of thinking. We must attach great importance to the spiritual production as well as strengthen the material production, and use the spirit of China to unite the power of China, and fulfill the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, namely the realization of the "China dream".
