国内英语资讯:Profile: From in debt to indestructible, an impoverished mans transformation

"I only sleep four hours every day. The farm work is very laborious but I feel happy and satisfied," he said.

Wang's efforts have gradually been accepted by more and more villagers and people changed their opinions about him.

Last year, 100 impoverished people in the city of Guyuan including Wang were named "outstanding villagers" based on their impressive anti-poverty experience.

"We have two standards to choose outstanding villagers. First, they should be villagers who have already escaped poverty through their own efforts. Second, they are also willing to help other poor villagers," said Ma Yandong, the Party secretary of Hechuan Township.

"Wang enjoys his life and always brings positive energy to people around him," Ma added.

Outstanding villagers are able to borrow a 50,000 yuan poverty-relief loan, with subsidized interest payments.

Wang's achievements didn't stop his ambition. He plans to breed cattle and expand his herd, as well as encourage more poor villagers to join him.

"I'm eager to borrow the 300,000 yuan from the banks, even though they offer the loans without subsidized interest. I really hope I can do something for the villagers and help them have a better life," Wang said.

He said there is only one kind of man he is not willing to give a helping hand to -- lazy people.

"I help people because I know what poverty feels like. During my most difficult times, it was extremely hard to even borrow 10 yuan from other people," he said. "Our country has so many poverty relief policies that poor people should make good use of."
