China's poverty alleviation efforts bring impoverished people better life

Lin Fusheng works on a painting at a road leading to Hualian Village of Huashan Township in Lichuan County, east China's Jiangxi Province, May 16, 2019. Lin suffers from physical disability because of infantile paralysis. As Lichuan County witnessed rapid development of oil painting industry in 2013, Lin returned to his hometown and became a professional painter with the help of local government. Now Lin has shaken off poverty and owns a studio at an oil painting creative industrial park. 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/Hu Chenhuan)
