The existence of such a large number of waifs will bring about a lot of problems to the government,the society,the families as well as themselves,as makes it urgent to make them as the focus of government and social relief. Based on the analysis of the limitations of the present relief system,the paper puts forward a preliminary idea about how to construct a comparatively perfect waif relief system from the perspectives of the succors,the assistance measures adopted,the relating laws and social conditions.
