Everyone in this big, new community has a job, and every household is a shareholder. The per-capita annual income increased from less than 1,000 yuan before 2005 to nearly 20,000 yuan now.

Pei Chunliang has donated 210 million yuan to all the undertakings that have lifted the community out of poverty.

The family of Pei Longyin, a strong villager, became poor because the man suffered a stroke and had to pay large medical bills.

Pei Longyin's story reminded Pei Chunliang as long as all the villagers are healthy, it is possible for the village to be moderately prosperous as a whole.

As a result, Pei Chunliang had signs posted everywhere in the village, reminding the residents to live a healthy life and have a healthy diet, and get regular sleep.

In 2014 the Chinese government implemented a strategy of targeted poverty alleviation, which allowed the central government and local officials to address the needs of individuals and households rather than entire villages. According to President Xi Jinping, targeted poverty alleviation campaign followed an approach based on policies in the areas of industrial development, social security, education, eco-compensation and relocation.

The targeted poverty alleviation program employed the pairing-up strategy that enables impoverished families in western regions to receive support from more affluent eastern provinces.

The campaign also implemented nationwide initiatives to facilitate industrial development. In 2019, China spent $19 billion on a variety of infrastructure initiatives. Through these initiatives, China has been able to build or renovate more than 124,000 miles of road and provide 94 percent of rural villages with internet access.
