China's poverty alleviation efforts bring impoverished people better life

Villagers weed for roses at the garden of a tourist destination known as rose town in Luonan County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, June 17, 2019. The rose town opened in May 2017 has attracted a great number of tourists. The town has boosted villagers' income and created a new way to help lift impoverished households 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)
