China's rural revitalization: A new Long March

From better living conditions and improved infrastructure and public services to new industries and employment opportunities, sustained efforts are transforming many rural communities across China and improving people's lives. As the country enters a new stage of regular assistance, efforts are underway to consolidate poverty alleviation gains and advance rural revitalization.

In some places, once-remote villages have become more livable, with better access to transportation, education and healthcare. In others, tea cultivation, fruit and vegetable farming, livestock breeding, agricultural processing and rural tourism are creating jobs and raising incomes. Across the countryside, communities are exploring development paths suited to local conditions, turning poverty alleviation gains into new momentum for growth.

Every generation has its own journey. In the past, people crossed mountains and rivers on the Long March; today, a new journey toward better lives, development and rural revitalization is unfolding across China's vast countryside. It is a journey of perseverance – a "new Long March" across rural China.
