The Chinese word "穷人" (qióng rén) is composed of two characters: "穷" (qióng) and "人" (rén). The character "穷" originally meant "the end" or "the limit", but it has evolved to mean "poor" or "destitute". The character "人" simply means "person". So, the word "穷人" literally means "a person who has reached the end" or "a person who is at the limit". This word is often used to describe people who are living in poverty or who are struggling to make ends meet.
