Yes. President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela returns home after cancer treatment in Cuba. But is it really a good thing for Venezuela?
因患癌癥而在古巴治療的總統查維茨終于回了家。但是，這對委內瑞拉是一件好事嗎？

Let's see some facts!
讓我們看一看數據吧！

CNN reports, "Since 2004 poverty has been reduced by half and extreme poverty has been cut by 70%. University enrolment has doubled, entitlement to public pensions has tripled, and access to health care and all levels of education have been dramatically expanded."
CNN數據顯示，自2004年以來，委內瑞拉的貧困率下降了70%。大學入學率增長了1倍，更多的人可以享受醫療保險和基礎教育。

And Chavez has so many other achievements. The social progress Venezuela made in the past few years was impressive, but should we accept Venezuela's way of Democracy because of this?
查維茨的成就還遠遠不只于此?？墒牵覀儍H僅因為這些成就就說委內瑞拉的民主完美無缺了嗎？

Other may say, of course no, the economy is booming, but has largely based on exporting resources. Also, inequality is still an urging issue in the country.
雖然經濟快速增長，但是國家卻非常依賴資源的出口。同時，貧富差距也在不斷地擴大。

無論如何，查維茨已經歸來。這對于委內瑞拉究竟意味著什么呢？
