The society of population pyramid inverted due to human beings' longevity by progress of science and technology. The 21st century of China and Japan will rush into the super-aged society which human beings have never before experienced worldwide. Japan runs the tip at top speed to the super-aged society, but a Chinese elderly population is increasing in speed. If elderly people's absolute number is seen, China is already the world's largest aging state. Chinese aged 60 and over population were 132 million people in 2000. It is a number which is already equal to the overall population of Japan. The Chinese elderly population aged 65 and over broke through 90 million people by the end of 2009. It turned out that 9.6 million of them could not provide for themselves through single support. According to the newest data in 2009 of mainland China, population aged 60 and over occupies 12.5% of population by 167 million people. It increases at 3% or more every year. The elderly population aged 80 and over amounts to 18 million people, it increases at 5% every year. The supply and demand seems not to be balanced for elderly-people welfare in China as the officials said. The problem of aging for both countries should resolve immediately that all the elderly people are able to receive nursing services and medical treatment. Although the author is a generation who does not know the war, the influence to the people, especially for the next generation is so serious that it can compare with the disaster of the war. If disabled soldiers and/or disabled veteran's care is considered, the disabled elderly requiring care are synonymous. The increasing number of disabled elderly in both countries is exceeding that it of the previous war for the next generation. It may be called "the aging crisis" as the author used for these 20 years.
