BEIJING/NANNING, May 21 (China Daily/ANN) - President Xi Jinping has urged efforts to ensure that the targets and tasks of poverty elimination are completed with high quality amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Not a single ethnic group will be left behind in China's efforts to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects this year", he said.
Huanjiang officially withdrew from the national list of impoverished counties this month. Based on the Maonan people's poverty alleviation situation across the country, the ethnic group as a whole has risen above poverty. The Maonan people should consider poverty elimination a new starting point for a better life and continue with efforts to make their lives more prosperous, Xi said.
Representatives of the Maonan ethnic group in Huanjiang recently wrote a letter to Xi, sharing with him the joy of poverty elimination and expressing their firm determination to follow the Party and make persistent efforts to build their hometown. Thanks to the local government's preferential policies to promote fruit crops, Tan and her husband managed to rent 2.3 hectares of land. They started to grow tangerines with a 100,000 yuan interest-free loan in 2015.
