Question

President Xi Jinping, while visiting a village in North China's Shanxi province, called on Wednesday for greater efforts and more effective measures to help those living in poverty.

The president has paid much attention to poverty reduction in recent years. In his New Year’s address, Xi said that what he cares most about is poor people. The people's longing for a happy life is the goal that the Communist Party of China is striving for, Xi said during a stop in the village of Songjiagou, Kelan county, during his Shanxi inspection tour. The village is newly built for local people who relocated from poverty—stricken homes nearby. He called on the villagers to “roll up their sleeves and work on” and the people's livelihoods will “rise joint by joint like sesame flowers on the stem,”the president said.

Xi recognized the local government's efforts to relocate villagers from impoverished（贫困的）areas to newly built residences. He urged local authorities to take more measures to help poor people improve living conditions and raise their incomes. In the village of Zhaojiawa, Xi held talks with civil servants who were dispatched（派遣）from the Kelan county people's congress for the village's poverty alleviation（缓和）work. He encouraged the civil servants to have intensive contacts with villagers and help them out of poverty.

Noting that the CPC has dispatched a number of officials and teams to take charge of poverty relief at grassroots organizations in recent years, Xi said that the measures are effective for poverty alleviation. The number of people living in poverty nationwide was reduced by 12.4 million last year to 43.35 million. The government will lift another 10 million people out of poverty this year, according to the Government Work Report.
