For Tan Jianghui, a vocational training session in 2017 was a life-changing experience.

对于谭江辉（音）来说，2017年的职业技能培训是一次改变人生的经历。

The 52-year-old farmer from Huanjiang Maonan autonomous county, an impoverished corner of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, was born with a spinal deformity that means he stands just 1.2 meters tall.

来自广西壮族自治区的一个贫困山区——环江毛南族自治县的这位52岁农民天生脊柱畸形，所以身高只有1.2米。

Because his family was impoverished, Tan, the middle child of seven, only made it halfway through primary school.

谭江辉家里很穷，他在家里七个孩子中排行第四，小学才读了一半就辍学了。

He helped out at home for many years, but at age 37, he left Huanjiang for the first time to work in factories in nearby cities. In 2010, though, he returned home to care for his mother who was seriously ill.

多年来他一直在家帮忙，但是37岁那年，他第一次离开环江去附近城市的工厂打工。但在2010年，他回到家里照顾病重的母亲。

At the time, working away from home was the only way many of the county's residents could improve their livelihoods. Now, things have changed.

当时，外出打工是该县居民改善生活的唯一一条路。现在，情况不同了。
