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.
An in-depth investigation in Yulin in Shaanxi, Hotan in Xinjiang, Tongren in Guizhou and Yunnan which was assisted by Shanghai, and described the huge changes that the poverty alleviation has brought to these places in a macro and general manner. The author expressed the deep respect to the national cadres for poverty alleviation and rural cadres at the grassroots level. They were not just about lifting villages and tens of millions of people out of poverty, but more about the future. They have paved the ways to hopes and dreams with sweat and toil. Therefore, their selflessness and dedication have been perpetuated in history.
