China is the biggest family with 56 ethnic groups. Among them, the Han Chinese is the largest and the most highly developed group. The Han Chinese can be found in many parts of China. They mainly live in the north plain region, the middle and the lower reaches of Yangze River and Pearl River Deltas. The other 55 groups are the minority ethnic groups. They are distributed in the mountainous areas of southwest and northwest of China.

Being too far away from big cities, the minority ethnic groups are poor in economy and there people are not well-educated. They have very few understandings of science and technology. So they must develop their economy. 
由于远离大城市，少数民族经济落后，那儿的人民没有得到良好的教育。他们对科学技术的了解很少。所以他们必须发展经济。

To help the people of the minority ethnic groups live better, the government should take some effective measures. For one thing, more and more knowledgeable undergraduates should be encouraged to those poor areas to help the people there to get rid of their poverty. For another, the advanced science and technology must be introduced into the minority ethnic groups to improve their living conditions. More importantly, people of the minority ethnic groups should be given equal opportunities to study and work. Only so will China be more prosperous in the future.
为了帮助少数民族人民更好的生活，政府应该采取一些有效的措施。一方面，应该多鼓励有知识的大学生到那些贫困地区去帮助那里的人们摆脱贫困。另一方面，必须把先进的科学技术引进少数民族，改善他们的生活条件。更重要的是，应该给少数民族人民平等的学习和工作机会。只有这样，中国的未来才会更加繁荣。
