The Targeted Poverty Alleviation programme was proposed by President Xi in 2013 and aims to give poor people the resources to lift themselves out of poverty. No fewer than three million cadres have been sent to the least developed areas of the country to educate, inspire and help the most impoverished people with financial support, jobs and business opportunities. The authors of this series of books visited some of the villages that were previously very poor, to document how developments in education, agriculture, health and tourism had created positive change. The authors wrote about what they saw, what they heard, how they felt in these areas and rendered them into touching and vivid stories.
On 3rd November 2013, President Xi visited Shibaidong Village in Western Hunan Province and proposed for the first time 'targeted poverty alleviation', a national solution for reducing poverty. The book describes eighteen representative stories of the villagers in Shibaidong Village in their struggles to get rid of poverty and strive for a well-off life, and each story is told in the first person, flavouring with people's daily life
