| Abstract: | AT the award ceremony of"Touching China's 2020 Person of the Year" held on February 17,2021,a man with a slightly stooped back but a resolute expres-sion on his face stood on the podium.Mao Xianglin was one of the 10 candi-dates being awarded.Eight days later,Mao was honored as a model poverty fighter at a grand gathering held in Beijing to mark the country's victory in the battle against poverty.Receiv-ing such honors made him recall the journey which led him here:building a road on a cliff,being among a group of villagers who lifted themselves out of poverty,and playing a part in the revitalization of their village after de-veloping agritourism. |
