Happiness Sharing Farm contains seeds of success for escaping poverty

The planting season is not yet over, but Qiu Huihong, a farmer in Guangdong province, is already feeling the joy of a good harvest.

Thanks to a poverty relief project known as the Happiness Sharing Farm, the 45-year-old farmer is likely to rise to better circumstances.

Last month, Qiu rented 0.13 hectares of his contracted farmland to the newly launched project for 1,000 yuan ($146) per year.
