Officials from Guizhou Province who are in Beijing for the ongoing Two Sessions have said that the living conditions of the province's rural residents have greatly improved in recent years, and that more work will be done to build on the progress that has been made so far.
Yu Liufen is an official working in a remote village in a mountainous area in Guizhou Province. She said that the living standard of local residents has improved thanks to new roads leading into the village.
"We started the project to build a beautiful village four years ago. Now I'm proud to say that you can see cement roads leading into every village in Panzhou county."
