摘要

Editor: Among China's massive 1.3 billion population, 800 million are farmers. Back in 1978, when China had just adopted the reform and opening-up policy, 250 million farmers lived in abject poverty. The Chinese government has since worked consistently towards alleviating their plight, and considerable progress has been made. The Yimeng Mountainous Area in southern Shandong Province was formerly one of China's most impoverished areas. Ten years ago China Today reporters Li Xia and Yu Xiangjun visited Li Pisheng and his family in Nanbaode Village of the area (see "Down at the Farm in Shandong," June issue, 1994). Recently staff reporters Qiu Jianghong and Dong Ning revisited the Li family and take readers to see their life today.
