This paper summarizes China's disability welfare construction as habitat raising model and humanitarian model, and concludes that the two models belong to charity models. With the improvement of civil rights and equality awareness, charity models are facing breakthrough. The social rights mode which aims at “empowerment” emphasizes the match of rights and obligations, it should be the best choice for China. Under the social rights mode, disability welfare system must be reformed in five aspects, namely: change parts of the universal welfare programs into mean test programs; link some security projects with vocational training or job seeking; transfer employment result support to job seeking support; strengthen the human resources development of the disabled; improve disabled persons' independent living ability.
