In China's modern social succor system, government is playing the first leading role. Moreover, as a dispensable supplement to government succor, another main body has emerged in the form of social mutual-help which involves individuals and non-government organizations such as charity institutions, poverty-relief organizations and social-aid groups. In order to improve the national social succor system, it is inevitable to recognize the multiform main bodies of social succor and give social mutual-help necessary support as well as the essential social environment for its sound development.
