Poverty has haunted mankind from ancient times to the present. Even today, when productivity is highly developed, there are still many places where poverty exists. Currently, more than 780 million people live below the international poverty line... More than 11 percent of the world's population lives in extreme poverty, with the most basic needs such as health care, education, water and sanitation not being met. Poverty remains a major problem plaguing the world.

Nonetheless, China has made great progress in poverty alleviation. In 2012, there were more than 75 million rural people in poverty, but the number has been decreasing year by year. In 2020, all the impoverished people have been lifted out of poverty. It took China eight years to solve the problem of absolute poverty in the country. His solutions and examples provide the world with efficient ways to fight poverty. It shows the world the wisdom of China and promotes the development of the world.

This documentary is dedicated to China's efforts to help lift its people out of absolute poverty. The film first introduces the importance of poverty eradication, how poverty infringes on people, and uses UN data to show China's efforts to eradicate poverty. After that, it shows who China's precise poverty alleviation targets are, how they are judged, and how to help them, using specific tasks as examples. China has adopted the idea that it is better to teach people to fish than to give them fishes. The government has created jobs for the poor and provided them opportunities to earn money, rather than simply giving subsidies to raise people's living standards. At the same time, a good guarantee mechanism has been established, with annual return visits to ensure the effectiveness of poverty alleviation.

China has invested a lot of resources, in infrastructure and education. China believes that these two areas are the key to eradicating poverty and preventing people from returning to poverty. At the same time, China has taken advice from a large number of experts in various fields in order to fight poverty in a multi-faceted way. It has also asked experts to explain in person why a certain measure was taken, what its purpose is and what it can achieve.

Finally, the documentary is a good representation of China's tremendous achievements in poverty eradication today. It tells us that poverty eradication cannot be achieved overnight, but requires the persistent struggle of several generations and the joint efforts of people in all areas of society. We need to conduct fieldwork for the poor and choose the best way to alleviate poverty. The ancient Chinese poet Du Fu had a poem, "Where can I get a big broad shelter a thousand, ten thousand spans wide, huge roof that all the world's poor Where can I get a big broad shelter a thousand, ten thousand spans wide, huge roof that all the world's poor can share with smiling faces?" Now this poem has become a reality.
