College grads choose grassroots jobs to 'accomplish something big'

Many hours of hiking over rugged hills to visit families living in poverty has been Liu Hai's routine since graduating from college and becoming a junior officer in a small county in Southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

In 2014, Liu, 29, left Beijing Institute of Technology after receiving his master's degree and began working on poverty-relief as deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee in mountainous Nandan county.

He has visited 151 villages there, including 47 in poverty.
