Wutai youths had experienced discrimination in their school and company. "Church" is an important link before Wutai youths return to home. 3. The main pull factors of Wutai youths returning to home are "the request of family " and "the mission of culture”. The push factor of returning to home is having difficulties in urban life. There are fewer problems in adaptation after returning to home. But the main problem they face is the inability to speak mother languages. 4.
