变革中的中国：苗寨人的小康梦
中国高速的城市化进程在带动了城市发展的同时，也进一步加剧了城乡之间的经济差距和社会发展不平衡现象。
Mutual responsibility is the underlying essence of a fully sustainable and prosperous society. Thus China’s poverty alleviation strategies have been centred around the idea of shared development, whereby the benefits of modern progress can, should and will be felt by all. These strategies are twofold - on a local level, urban areas are refocusing initiatives towards helping rural areas; on a national level, entire regions are cooperating, guiding and supporting one another.
若想实现社会的长期稳定、可持续发展，势必需要实现共同繁荣。正因如此，中国的扶贫政策旨在共享发展的指引下，让发展的成果惠及全民。此战略有双重的意义：从地方一级的角度来说，城市应对乡村地区进行帮扶。而从国家层面而言，所有的地区之间都应该相互扶持，实现共同富裕。
Hunan is as diverse a region as any other, but it is home to several prefectures and villages that are shining examples of the potential outcomes from ‘shared’ thinking.
湖南与中国其他省份一样，也囊括着不同发展程度的城市与乡村。而中国共享发展的思想，已经在这里的一些自治州和村庄得到了运用，并让当地村民享受到了发展的硕果。
The combination of government support, independent organisations and volunteer schemes have established the foundations of prosperity for many of Hunan’s villages. But mutuality is a crucial concept in these strategies, transcending beyond the passive acceptance and expectation of help into a driven taking of responsibility by each individual within their own community.
政府的支持、社会组织和志愿者的帮扶，共同为湖南很多乡村的发展奠定了良好的基础。而在扶贫策略中，自我意识的转变相比被动接受帮扶而言，有着更重要的地位。它需要每一位村民都意识到，自己也应该主动去为实现脱贫致富尽一份力。
Maximising each area’s unique resources supports the capacity for a stable industry, creating new jobs for villagers and their families, and, in turn, generating local income.
与此同时，也需要最大限度的利用每个地区所特有的资源，来为其产业发展提供源源不断的动力，为村民们提供新的就业机会，并由此来提升当地的整体收入。
A cyclical system of ‘reaping what you sow’ leads to a sustainable environment for further growth, in which communities continue the opportunities introduced and supported by organisations with their own hands.
这样循环发展的自种自收体制，也促进了一个稳定的经济环境的形成。村民们通过自己的双手，结合相关政府和组织的帮扶，来实现真正的脱贫致富和共享发展。
