Yanchi County， Ningxia， is located at the junction of Shaanxi， Gansu， Ningxia and Inner Mongolia， and on the south edge of the Mu Us Desert. It is an old revolutionary base area and national poverty-stricken county. Even in a long period， Yanchi County is the representative of remote and poverty-stricken areas. The poverty alleviation way in Yanchi County has gone through five stages： construction of "Three-Xi"（Hexi， Dingxi and Xihaigu）（1983-1993）， "double-hundred" priority poverty alleviation（1

《中国脱贫攻坚调研报告——盐池篇（英文版）》：
On the morning of November 12, 2018, Chen Youqiang, Party Secretary of Hui'anbao Town, Yanchi County immediately drove to Daba Village and Langbuzhang Village after participating in the promotion meeting for poverty alleviation of Yanchi County, to check up the conditions of prohibition of stalk burning and construction of farmland water conservancy in the two villages.
In 2016, in promotion of daylily planting, there was an undercurrent of antipathy in the masses of Liu Shizui Team and First Team of Daba Village. Chen Youqiang used the time of weekends and evenings to go deep into the peasant households for ideological work. Many people gradually recognized and began to try to plant daylily. In the past two years, the total area of daylily planted by First Team and Liu Shizui Team of Daba Village reached 1,900 mu. The net income per mu in 2018 reached 3, 500 yuan. "The daylily price is better than corn." People said happily.
In the past, the water-saving irrigation project was also less popular among the local masses. Chen Youqiang divided the town and village cadres into several groups to do the ideological work for the masses from door to door, and shared them with the policies, situations and benefits. Over the past two years, the water-saving irrigation project of Huianbu Town has been launched in all the villages. In 2018, the water-saving irrigation area of Huianbu Town reaches more than 30,000 mu.
Zhao Shenglong, a peasant in the new construction team of Mengcheng Village, was nearly 60 years old, and lived in a dilapidated cave before relocation. After knowing the situation, Chen Youqiang went to Zhao Shenglong's house to do ideological work and ran for no less than 10 times. Finally, Zhao Shenglong was moved and agreed to move to the migration area. Then, his living conditions were greatly improved.
In order to effectively increase the income for the migrant masses, Chen Youqiang has actively strived for the courtyard economy project, to construct greenhouses of 120 square meters, rainwater collection fields of 100 square meters and one water collection cellar for the relocated peasant households. In 2018, Zhao Shenglong planned to plant asparagus in greenhouses. It was estimated that the income of a greenhouse in the next year would reach 3,000 yuan. Zhao Shenglong, though illiterate, drew the Party emblem in the registered supporting manual. He said to everyone, "Chen Youqiang is a good secretary in Huianbu Town."
"Poverty alleviation is the bottom line, and prosperity is the key. To dare to overcome difficulties, and be responsible, you can be a good cadre who can stand the test of the masses." Chen Youqiang said.
The strong pass of the enemy is like a wall of iron, yet with firm strides, we are conquering its summit. In the face of the weak basic conditions and the lingering poverty of generations, the leading cadres at all levels in Yanchi were determined to work hard to reverse the fate. With the unshirkable responsibility, prosperity achievement guiding determination and decisive posture, they deeply implemented the priority poverty alleviation strategy, and exploited new ways for poverty alleviation and prosperity which conform to the actual conditions. It can be said that Yanchi County gets rid of poverty and removed from the poverty list with high quality because of the leading groups at all levels who unite all efforts for a common purpose, level-by-level implementation pattern of poverty alleviation and inheritance of the revolutionary spirit in the base areas.
