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 canbe found in many parts of China. They mainly live in the north plain region, themiddle and the lower reaches of Yangze River and Pearl River Deltas. The other55 groups are the minority ethnic groups. They are distributed in themountainous areas of southwest and northwest of China.
Being too far away from big cities, the minority ethnic groups are poor ineconomy and there people are not well-educated. They have very fewunderstandings of science and technology. So they must develop theireconomy.
To help the people of the minority ethnic groups live better, thegovernment should take some effective measures. For one thing, more and moreknowledgeable undergraduates should be encouraged to those poor areas to helpthe people there to get rid of their poverty. For another, the advanced scienceand technology must be introduced into the minority ethnic groups to improvetheir living conditions. More importantly, people of the minority ethnic groupsshould be given equal opportunities to study and work. Only so will China bemore prosperous in the future.
