Improved life of twin sisters due to poverty alleviation campaign in China's Guizhou

Aerial photo taken on Feb 28, 2019 shows the Yunqi poverty alleviation settlement in Yuping Dong autonomous county of Tongren, Southwest China's Guizhou province. Under a poverty alleviation campaign in winter 2007, four-year-old twin sisters Huang Xingqi and Huang Xingyi relocated with their parents from an impoverished mountain village to the Yunqi settlement in Yuping county. The twin sisters were enrolled in a nearby kindergarten in September 2018. The family, which is from the local Dong ethnic group, had lived in a battered plank house back on the mountain before moving to their present three-storey residence, which offers substantially improved living conditions.
