CHINA-GUANGXI-POVERTY ALLEVIATION WORK (CN)

Twenty-nine-year-old Lan Zhiping, director of the village committee in Nongxiong Village of Qibainong Townshi, stands in the rain in Dahua Yao Autonomous County, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Aug. 14, 2017. To help local villagers, Lan established a poultry farming cooperative in the village in 2014. Due to harsh environmental conditions such as the stony desertification and mountainous landform, Guangxi has long been a less developed area in China. In recent years, local government carried out many measurements for the poverty alleviation work. Tens of thousands of officials and staff members helped local people build roads, repair houses, improve education and industry development. In 2016, more than 1.11 million people were liberated from poverty. The poverty-stricken population in the region has declined from 10.12 million in 2010 to current 3.638 million.
