An investigation into the background, social support and health, satisfaction with life, optimism, positive life goal, and subjective well-being (SWB) of retired persons was made. The subjects selected were retirees of at least 50 years of age located within the North District. Each candidate was given a questionnaire and a total of 258 valid questionnaires were returned, the effective filling rate was 85.71%. The influence of basic background, social support, and health status on SWB was found to be significant. The basic background, social support and state of health were found to have a direct impact on SWB. The explanations of satisfaction with life, optimism, positive life goal and SWB were 51%, 56%, 47.3%, and 50.8%. The development of information technology has changed the lives of most retirees. Their living patterns and SWB have changed. It is now possible for most of them to talk to family members, friends and specific persons about their problems without delay.
