Five years ago, six-year-old Ji Xue and her family of Miao ethnic group started a new life. Thanks to the poverty alleviation efforts, they were relocated to a new home from inhospitable mountainous and remote area.

Supporting facilities in the relocation community where Ji lives now have become better and better over the past five years.
