Villagers need to play part in poverty alleviation

Although it has only been three days since the opening of this year's annual session of the 13th National People's Congress, I have already lost count of the number of times I have heard the deputies talk about poverty alleviation.

Just think about it: All Chinese people are expected to be lifted out of poverty by the end of 2020, no matter where they are and which ethnic groups they come from. Everyone that needs to be crossed off that list has already been identified, and the cause of their poverty has been carefully analyzed, with a tailor-made plan for poverty alleviation drafted.

The clock is ticking as poverty alleviation has entered the most crucial and challenging stage.
