弱问曼哈顿modifier 课后题4

【correct】Ravaged by civil war for many years after it gained independence from Portugal, Angola is now one of Africa's success stories: its economy grew by 21% last year, and parliamentary elections are to be held later this week.

请问各位牛人：
** Angola 为什么可以等同于 story？不是应该比如：the rapid development of Angola is one of Africa's success story. 让development 之类的词来对应story么？

坐等！！大牛

success story is an idiom. It refers to someone or something that becomes successful in spite of difficulties. For example:

Richardson is one of the few success stories from the housing projects.

The development cannot be a success story because it's nonsense.
