Shi Jinlan, 50, Shibadong villager

I returned to Shibadong in 2013 when I heard that a poverty alleviation team had come to my village with favorable policies. I sensed that it was an opportunity for my village to develop, and it ended up being the right choice for me to come back because everything is getting better for me.

In 2005, I left home and found a job in an auto parts factory in Taizhou, Zhejiang province. At that time, villagers couldn't make a living at home because there was too little arable land in this mountainous area.
