Full commitment to sustain improved lives

China Daily  

In 1994, agricultural researcher Zeng Fuping arrived deep amid the karst mountains of South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Zeng, then 30, was part of a team studying the use of latest farming practices and technology, to improve the lives of ethnic communities in the Huanjiang Maonan autonomous county of Guangxi's northern area. Zeng's lifelong commitment on the ground in Huanjiang reflects the nationwide, all-inclusive resolve in successfully eradicating by this year extreme poverty — defined as living with less than 2,300 yuan in annual income — and improving lives throughout the country. Maonan members comprise one of the country's smallest ethnic communities – about 70 percent of Maonan people, or 64,500, live in Huanjiang, making it the only Maonan autonomous county. Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, had pushed for the elimination of poverty for the entire Maonan ethnic group in his earlier remarks.
