For example, like much of the country, Gansu Province, at China’s geographical center, is grappling with structural and social problems that range from the daunting to the apparently insuperable. Average annual output per capita is about $900, and incomes among the peasants who make up most of its rural population of 26 million are less than $250.
远离北京或者上海等城市省份的当今中国的生活实际与其大不相同。例如，位于中部的甘肃省与中国其他大多数地方一样正在应付结构性和社会问题，这些问题有的很棘手，有的难以克服。人均年产值是大约900美元，构成其人口大多数的2千6百万农民的收入少于250美元。
