农村经济在艰难中增长

The lack of young people often leaves a vacuum in the labour force, which makes it even harder for remote regions to prosper.
缺少年轻人经常会导致劳动力匮乏，使得偏远地区更难繁荣起来。

Local opera to perk up the workers - They share the same reason for staying in the village.
地方歌剧振奋了工人的精神——他们因为同样的原因留在乡村。

"I have to take care of my mother-in-law." "I have to take care of my kids."
“我得照顾婆婆。”“我得照顾孩子。”

They call it a day at a fixed time and can then focus their attention on family. "Working hours are flexible, we can take the kids home everyday."
他们在固定的时间收工，然后可以把注意力放在家庭上。“工作时间是固定的，我们每天都可以接孩子回家。”

There’s no minimum workload. Here, workers are paid according to how much they produce. But salaries aren’t high. At around 1,000 yuan per month, it’s just enough to make ends meet.
没有最小工作量。在这里，工人的报酬是根据他们的工作量来支付的。但是工资不高。每个月1000元左右，刚刚够维持开支。

But at least there are jobs. That’s thanks to young villagers who made money in big cities and returned home to invest in small factories. The local government hands out subsidies, but still, it’s hard to run a business far from the main trading centers.
但是起码有工作。这要感谢那些在大城市赚钱然后回家投资小工厂的年轻村民。当地政府发放补贴金，但是要在离主要贸易中心很远的地方做生意仍然很困难。

Fang Xianzhong, manager of Pecan Processing Company, said, "Transport, telecommunications, marketing network, everything used to be inconvenient. Profit is the top concern."
核桃加工公司经理Fang Xianzhong称：“运输、电信、营销网络，过去一切都很不方便。利润是最先考虑的。”

Companies like his are a promising solution for rural China. But to succeed, it’s not just down to ambitious entrepreneurs and a grateful workforce. Local governments also need to assist such initiatives and continue investing in local infrastructure. Only with better support will more young people consider returning home to their villages.
像他这样的公司是中国农村一种有前途的解决方法。但是成功不仅取决于雄心勃勃的企业家和劳动工人。当地政府也需要促进这样的主动性，继续投资当地的基础设施。只有更好的支持才能使更多的年轻人考虑回到他们乡村的家。
