China's poverty alleviation efforts bring impoverished people better life

Zhang Haijing and her daughter pose for a photo at her painting room in Dagang Town of Duchang County, east China's Jiangxi Province, May 7, 2020. Zhang Haijing, 30, was left wheelchair-bound after an accident in 2008. With the help of local authorities, Zhang set up an art studio in Dagang Town a few years ago, teaching local children art skills and creating artworks for online sale. At present, the family has shaken off poverty as their financial situation greatly improved. 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)
