Paper mulberry growing has been a major industry for local poverty alleviation. The last nine poverty-stricken county-level regions in east China's Anhui Province have been removed from the country's list of impoverished counties, according to an announcement issued by the provincial government Wednesday. This marks that all 31 impoverished county-level regions in Anhui have shaken off poverty, amid the country's efforts to eradicate absolute poverty by the end of 2020. (Xinhua/Han Xiaoyu)
