Pic story: Poverty alleviation work in China's Guangxi

Fourty-six-year old Wu Feng and his wife Wu Gemi stand in their relocated new house in Muli Village of Liangzhai Township, Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Nov. 30, 2017. 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. [Photo/Xinhua]
