Due to their high luminosity and high mass-loss rates, massive stars are playing an important role in the studies of modern astrophysics, such as the formation and the evolution of galaxies. Since the middle of the twentieth century, we have been cognizant of the main characters of the structure and evolution of massive stars approximately and some evolution models have been constructed. However, in recent years, some observations on massive stars indicate that there are serious discrepancies between observations and theoretical models. These discrepancies show us many defects in present theoretical models dealing some leading factors in the evolution of massive stars, such as mass loss and convection. Current research o these problems is reviewed and future perspectives are proposed in this paper.
