"Poverty alleviation" is one of the high-frequency words that Xi Jinping exchanged with delegates and committee members at the National Congress and the People's Congress.

  In 2014, Xi Jinping said when participating in the deliberation of the Guizhou delegation:

  As communists, we must take them to heart and really do practical things for them, otherwise, where is our conscience?

  In 2015, Xi Jinping said when participating in the deliberation of the Guangxi delegation:

  What I want to look at is such poor areas that can truly represent poverty.

Your leaders at all levels can't fool me. I came from a poor area, so I know what it looks like.

  In 2016, when Xi Jinping participated in the deliberation of the Hunan delegation, he said:

  When I walked to the eighteenth hole (village), I felt this way. I said that this should be precise (poverty alleviation), otherwise it would be flea bombing with grenade and would not solve the problem.

  In 2018, Xi Jinping said when participating in the deliberations of the Inner Mongolia delegation:

  We must be determined to eradicate absolute poverty, and we must not raise our appetite too high, so that everyone's expectations are too high, and they are unable to do so. The small horse-drawn cart can't be pulled. The result of this is that good intentions have not been done.

  In 2019, Xi Jinping said when participating in the Henan delegation’s deliberations:

  I often go to some poverty-stricken areas and rural areas. I always have a word, I say what else you need.

  In 2021, Xi Jinping said when participating in the deliberations of the Inner Mongolia delegation:

  Inner Mongolia is vast and sparsely populated, the lives of farmers and herdsmen are scattered, and the ecological environment is fragile. It is difficult and challenging to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation and promote rural revitalization. It is necessary to firmly maintain the bottom line of preventing large-scale poverty.

  The words of concern reflect the sincere feelings of the general secretary with the people as the center.

  “It’s not hard to win, and it’s hard to hold it.” Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has insisted on “alleviating the real poverty, real poverty alleviation, and real poverty alleviation”. He has conducted research on poverty alleviation many times, traveled to 14 concentrated and contiguous areas of poverty all over the country, talked face-to-face with poor people, settled accounts, and personally directed and deployed the fight against poverty.

  The journey is long, only struggle.

We firmly believe that poverty alleviation is not the end, but the starting point for a new life and new struggle.
