The combined photo taken on May 9, 2018 shows Liang Xiuqian, manager of a local fruit cooperative, carrying passion fruit sprouts with a shoulder pole (R), villagers holding the sprouts in their hands (L, top), and Liang Xiuqian (1st L) having lunch with villagers beside the fruit plantation (L, bottom) in Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Due to harsh environmental conditions, Rongshui has long been a less developed area in China. Up to now, there are still 76,800 impoverished people living in the county. In recent years, the local government carries out effective methods for poverty alleviation, helping local people to build roads, repair houses, improve education and develop industry.
