For many people living in poverty, relocation remains a crucial method.
It was estimated that from 2016 to 2020, around 10 million people will move away from impoverished areas, most of which are "locked" in mountains.
Zhang Zhengying, 82, has been moved from an adobe house in south China's mountainous Guizhou Province. Before that, he and his family were too poor to furnish his home properly due to the extremely difficult conditions.
Things changed as the government worked with companies to set up 50 relocation areas in the county before moving Zhang's family and their fellow villagers out of the mountains to resettle in areas with a business project for each family.
"Since the mass migration 300 years ago, poverty has troubled generations of our villagers," wrote Zhang Daiquan, a village historian. "The relocation finally shed some hope upon us."
DESIRE TO WIN
Xi has called on Chinese people to work together to win the key battle of poverty alleviation within the targeted timeframe.
In Xi's 2016 New Year Message, he said that "the 1.3 billion Chinese should forge ahead in a concerted endeavor" to build a moderately prosperous society in all aspects.
His calls were widely answered by those who have yet to eliminate poverty across China.
Nearly forty years ago, Yan Jinchang and his fellow farmers in a village in central China's Anhui didn't have full control of the land they farmed on, as the implementation of collective system at that time, limiting their economic rewards and living standard.
