In the early morning of July 4, 2019, Han Wei and his wife moved out from their house in Dahubu village, Fuping county, Baoding in Hebei province. They have been living there for 46 years and relocated to the county's Longquanguan town in a resettlement area designated under government poverty alleviation policy.
Dahubu village is located in the southwest of Longquanguan town, and borders Wutai county in Shanxi province. After driving down the No 382 provincial road, one still have to take a 10-kilometer mountain road to reach there.
As a typical mountain village. the total number of households is 64 comprised of 136 people, of which 50 households of 101 people are low income families.
"In Dahubu, it is difficult to get married, especially a young man," Han said.
In March 2017, the county government decided to build a poverty alleviation resettlement area in Longquanguan town and relocate all Dahubu villagers.
