Abstract: The phenomenon of moral indifference, as a lack of "goodness", is manifested in real life as the isolation and loneliness of interpersonal moral relations, and the resulting indifference, indifference, and even mutual exclusion of moral behaviors and negation. Standing at the starting point of the rapid and profound transformation of contemporary Chinese society, the root causes of moral indifference are "the fragility of interpersonal moral emotions in strangers' society", "the dissolution of the moral beliefs of the planned economy by the market economy", and the "lack of moral reward mechanism". Therefore, in the governance of the phenomenon of moral indifference in contemporary China, firstly, through reforming citizen moral education, we should enhance citizens' subjective good concept, and solve the fragile problem of "moral emotion" between strangers in society; secondly, we should cultivate a good public life ethic, Eliminate the negative impact of the market economy on the disintegration of moral beliefs in the planned economy society; thirdly, establish and improve the moral reward mechanism to promote the formation of a social atmosphere in which everyone respects morality and seeks kindness.
