China's poverty alleviation efforts bring impoverished people better life

Pan Jiehui plays Lusheng, a reed-pipe wind instrument, at the Shuanglonggou Forest Tourist Resort in Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Jan. 15, 2019. Working as staff members at the Shuanglonggou Forest Tourist Resort, Pan Jiehui and his wife increase their income by giving folk custom performances to visitors. The tourist resort is a poverty alleviation project providing cosy dwellings and job opportunities for impoverished households. More than 93 million rural people in China shook off poverty from 2013 to 2019. For seven consecutive years, China had lifted more than 10 million people out of poverty annually. China has set 2020 as the target year to eliminate absolute poverty and complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects. In this battle against poverty, China's efforts have brought impoverished people a better life as they enjoy a growing sense of fulfillment and happiness. (Xinhua/Chen Junqing)
