国内英语资讯:Commentary: Cradle of revolution now cradle of hope

Under the CPC's leadership and the guidance of the "Yan'an Spirit," Yan'an people have won a victory over poverty, and the then "cradle of revolution" is now turning into a "cradle of hope."

In the revolutionary days, the "Yan'an Spirit" means sticking to the right political direction, liberating thoughts, seeking the truth, self-reliance and serving the people wholeheartedly.

In the fight against poverty, the "Yan'an Spirit" is fully inherited.

Under the CPC's leadership, abundant resources have been poured into the area for poverty relief. Governments at every level have taken steps to make sure the task is completed on time.

For instance, the local government has supported certain industries based on the area's conditions, including apple farming and online selling, to secure effective and sustainable results.

Party members were dispatched to villages to mobilize and guide the impoverished. Each registered poor family was assigned an official responsible for lifting them out of poverty.

Apart from the Party's efforts, local people's "never give up" attitude is also indispensable in the fight against long-standing poverty. Yan'an people's story will bring hope to those still living under the poverty line to continue striving for better lives.

According to government figures, there were still 16.6 million impoverished people in China's rural areas by the end of 2018. China aims to eliminate absolute poverty by 2020.
