China's poverty alleviation efforts bring impoverished people better life

Zhou Hongzhen introduces pig-raising through a live webcast on the smart phone in Dongwan Village of Baoan Town, Luonan County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, April 27, 2020. In order to help customers have a comprehensive understanding of her pig raising, Zhou gave a live on-line introduction every day showing the breeding environment and growth of pigs, and promoted sales of pigs through the Internet. At the end of 2018, the first batch of pigs were put on the market and sold out through the Internet. Zhou has not only embarked on her road to prosperity, but also helped three poverty-stricken households in the village out of poverty. 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/Tao Ming)
