"Suffering from poverty for long and expecting to be well-off." The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China solemnly promised that the poor people and poor areas will join the whole country in building a comprehensive well-off society. To fulfill the promise, we must mobilize the whole party, the whole nation, and all social forces, with the great power of more than 1.3 billion Chinese people, to focus on tackling poverty-stricken areas to get rid of poverty.
