Editor's note

  The ups and downs of 2020 have passed. This year we fight the epidemic together, and this year we fight against poverty.

Through 2020, we will experience together, persevere and struggle together. We encourage each other, warm each other, and comfort each other.

Ushering in the new year, our lives will open a new chapter, and our country will embark on a new journey.

At the moment the calendar turns over, we should look back at the past, and we also have reasons to look forward to the future.

In 2021, we are here waiting for you...
