A questionnaire on community management assistant，who plays an important role in grass-root society management，suggests that the number of community assistant is dwindling and stabilizing，and the distribution and remuneration vary widely among different communities. Administration of the assistant remains chaotic，and unequal pay for equal work still exists. The task of assistants and that of community workers tend to be confused. Breakthrough will be in the coordinated administration system，streamlined administration and balanced interests. The implementation of relevant system is essential.
