On December 28, 2013, the Lao Jiao system was finally terminated through legal procedures. People wonder why it could run more than 50 years, though it violated the rule of law, human rights and other values obviously. From the view of Punctuated-Equilibrium theory, the policy image and policy institutional venues interacted, which made the policy equilibrium or policy punctuation. The research shows trajectory on the termination of Lao Jiao policy is consistent with the theory of punctuated-equilibrium, taking on the form of equilibrium-punctuation-equilibrium-punctuation. At the same time, the termination of Lao Jiao policy can also be attributed the interaction between the policy attributes、policy environment and constraints. In these factors, the political ideology play an important role in the policy termination.
