Abstract:Since the outbreak of Corona Virus Disease 2019 in the world, there have been two models of countries’ responses: rigid governance in the form of “strong state, weak society” and flexible governance in the form of “weak state, strong society”. Countries represented by the United States adopt “bottomup” flexible governance, resulting in failure of risk response. China adopts a “topdown” rigid management model, so that the epidemic has been effectively controlled. However, the inherent contradiction between “liquidity” and “precision” risk social governance makes rigid governance have governance risks. In order to cope with the requirements of normalized management of the epidemic, there is a resilient governance mechanism for dealing with major public health events between flexible and rigid governance. Through the spontaneous, selfadaptable and proactive dynamic governance mode of resilience management, the government resilience, social toughness, citizen’s resilience and environmental resilience are constructed in order to deal with the mobility, randomness, complexity and uncontrollability of risk society.
