富裕

• Pinyin: fù yù
• Hanzi breakdown: 富 = 宀 + 畐 (wealthy, abundant); 裕 = 衤 + 谷 (plentiful, ample)

Meaning

Affluent; prosperous; well-off. Describes a person, household, or region that is comfortably or substantially wealthy.

富裕 implies comfortable, broad-based prosperity rather than extreme or ostentatious wealth. Common collocations: 富裕家庭 (affluent family), 富裕地区 (prosperous region), 走向富裕 (move toward prosperity), 共同富裕 (common prosperity — a key political slogan emphasising shared wealth). Less extreme than 富豪 or 富翁.

Examples

1. 共同富裕的政策目标旨在缩小城乡差距，使更多普通百姓分享经济发展的成果。 The policy goal of common prosperity aims to narrow the urban-rural gap so that more ordinary people can share in the gains of economic development.
2. 随着工业化和城镇化的推进，这个昔日贫困的农业县如今已变得相当富裕。 With the advance of industrialization and urbanization, this once-poor farming county has now become quite well-off.
3. 富裕并不等同于幸福，许多生活条件优越的人依然在寻找内心真正的满足感。 Being well-off is not the same as being happy; many people with excellent living conditions are still searching for genuine inner fulfillment.
