Words from hearts of the impoverished

Living in Xiajiagasitai Village, Jiagasitai Town, Qapqal Xibe Autonomous County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, of northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Adham Akrembay fell into poverty for reasons such as a lack of job opportunities and having to pay university tuition for three children. The poverty alleviation group from the county, town, and village governments as well as the Xinjiang CPC work group helped him find a job with a stable income. They hold up a sign that reads, “Thanks to President Xi for allowing us a better life.” [Photo by Wen Wei]
