Research Abstract	By analyzing various discourses on the transformation of social consciousness in post-reform China, this research drew a conclusion that there is a break between the 1980s and the 90s, and the former is characterized by the logic of "correctness",while the main feature of the latter can be defined by the logic of "capability". It also showed that whereas in the 1990s the dominant discourses on social reality were formed around the conception of "fighting/struggling", around 2008 the emphasis came to be placed on the conception of "success" per se.
