Wu Chunying (R) and sister Wu Dongxian feed chickens in Xiangfen Village in Xiangfen Town in Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, March 14, 2020. Since 2013, they founded a cooperative and led over 90 poor farmers to raise chickens. At present, more than 120,000 chickens are put on the market every year. Rongshui Miao Autonomous County is a deeply impoverished county in Guangxi and a key county in the national poverty alleviation and development work. It is also a major labor export county. Working outside is the main approach for many poor families to increase their income. In recent years, with the deepening of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, many women who worked in other places have returned to their hometowns and used their learned skills to start their own businesses. Up to now, more than 1,300 women have returned to Rongshui to start their own businesses including running farms, homestays, restaurants, agricultural cooperatives, etc. (Xinhua/Huang Xiaobang)
