In 2013, during an inspection of Hunan province, President Xi Jinping first introduced the concept of targeted poverty alleviation in Shibadong. At the time, the average annual income per capita for villagers was a mere 1,668 yuan ($231). However, with the support of government initiatives, this figure rose to 25,456 yuan last year after a decade of development.
