Villagers remember man who gave them a road out of poverty

Qin Yuanfeng devoted life to aiding the poor

Qin Yuanfeng, former financial commissioner for Xiping village in Yichang, Hubei province, dedicated his life to poverty alleviation work before dying from liver cancer in December at the age of 59.

"He was always concerned about the villagers' lives, not even spending a moment caring for himself," his widow, Zou Deshou, said. "He gave almost everything to the work."
