In China they have a word for it. baoba means "protect eight," the 8% annual economic growth rate that officials believe is critical to ensuring social stability. A year ago, many thought hitting such a figure in 2009 was a

a jumble of（混亂的一堆）snack stands, cheap clothing stalls and old men dragging
carts(n.拉車）filled with candy to sell to workers
on their day off（下班後）. Near the factory we found some of the people who are leading the world to economic recovery: Chinese men and women, their struggles in the past, their thoughts on the present and their eyes on the future.
