Many times they proposed that they set up the ambition to fight the tough battle, and think in one place. If you go to one place, sweat to another place, you must find ways to make the folks live a good life as soon as possible; hold a symposium on poverty alleviation for 6 consecutive years, emphasize poverty alleviation in New Year's greetings for 6 consecutive years, and spend 7 consecutive years during the National Poverty Alleviation Day Attending important events or giving important instructions...With deep concern, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has devoted himself to the cause of poverty reduction in China, and it is here.
