黨的十八大以來，以習近平同志為核心的黨中央把脫貧攻堅作為全面建成小康社會的底線任務和標志性指標，作出一系列重大部署，推動脫貧攻堅取得舉世矚目的決定性成就。在廣西的一個少數民族山區，一個52歲農民就嘗到了扶貧政策的甜頭。

For Tan Jianghui, a vocational training session in 2015 was a life-changing experience.

對于譚江輝（音）來說，2015年的職業技能培訓是一次改變人生的經歷。

The 52-year-old farmer from Huanjiang Maonan autonomous county, an impoverished corner of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, was born with a spinal deformity that means he stands just 1.2 meters tall.

來自廣西壯族自治區的一個貧困山區——環江毛南族自治縣的這位52歲農民天生脊柱畸形，所以身高只有1.2米。

Because his family was impoverished, Tan, the middle child of seven, only made it halfway through primary school.

譚江輝家里很窮，他在家里七個孩子中排行第四，小學才讀了一半就輟學了。

He helped out at home for many years, but at age 37, he left Huanjiang for the first time to work in factories in nearby cities. In 2010, though, he returned home to care for his mother who was seriously ill.

多年來他一直在家幫忙，但是37歲那年，他第一次離開環江去附近城市的工廠打工。但在2010年，他回到家里照顧病重的母親。

At the time, working away from home was the only way many of the county's residents could improve their livelihoods. Now, things have changed.

當時，外出打工是該縣居民改善生活的唯一一條路。現在，情況不同了。

In 2014, the central government started profiling impoverished people as part of a poverty relief campaign that provides aid tailored to each family's needs.

2014年，中央政府開展的精準扶貧項目開始定位貧困人口。

Tan's family was designated as impoverished. Through the relief program, he signed up for vocational training in bricklaying and breeding cattle.

譚江輝的家庭被定位為貧困戶。通過扶貧項目，他報名參加了砌磚和養牛的技能培訓。

In 2017, the local government arranged for him to get an interest-free loan. He used the money to begin raising cattle. He started with just one cow, but now owns five, which has lifted him out of poverty.

2017年，在當地政府的安排下，他獲得了無息貸款。他用這筆錢開始養牛。一開始他只有一頭牛，但現在他有了五頭牛并成功脫貧。

"I am thinking adding another 10 cows," he said.

他說：“我正在考慮再加十頭牛。”

Tan was one of several people from the Maonan ethnic group who recently wrote to President Xi Jinping to share their joy at poverty elimination and promise constant efforts to improve their hometown.

譚江輝是毛南族自治縣最近寫信給習近平主席的幾個人之一。在信中，他們分享了脫貧的喜悅，并承諾不斷努力讓家鄉越來越好。

The Maonan are one of China's smallest ethnic groups. About 70 percent, or 64,500 people, live in Huanjiang, where the poverty headcount ratio was just 1.48 percent at the end of last year.

毛南族是中國人口最少的少數民族之一，其中約70%（64500人）在環江居住。去年年底環江的貧困發生率只有1.48%。

That figure saw Huanjiang removed from the list of impoverished counties this month, while poverty has been eradicated among Maonan people nationwide.

本月，環江摘掉了貧困縣的帽子，而毛南族也在全國范圍內成功脫貧。

Mountainous Guangxi is one of seven poor provincial regions to benefit from the campaign to end domestic poverty by the end of the year.

多山的廣西是從脫貧攻堅戰中受益的七個省級貧困地區之一。

China has made great progress in eradicating rural poverty since late 2012, when the number of rural poor stood at 98.99 million.

自從2012年底以來，中國在消除農村貧困上取得了很大的進展，當時貧困人口有9899萬之多。

By the end of last year, the figure had fallen to 5.51 million, according to the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development.

根據國務院扶貧開發領導小組的數據，到去年年底，這一數字降到了551萬。

Meanwhile, the number of impoverished counties had fallen from 832 in 2015 to 52 by the end of last year.

與此同時，貧困縣的數量從2015年的832個降到了去年年底的52個。
