Villager Dong Heqin works at his pepper greenhouse in Yanmiao Village of Funan County, east China's Anhui Province, April 22, 2020. Dong was praised as a foregoer in shaking off poverty for his great job in planting peppers and gaining wealth. 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. (Photo by Zhou Mu/Xinhua)
