"To move 250,000 impoverished from destitute barren mountains and see to it that with new resettlement development centers built their livelihood is to be improved and production developed" is a task set by Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region by 1993 up to 1999.

As has been demanded by the local authorities over the years, the impoverished having been resettled have all been guaranteed to "have enough to eat in the first year after their removal and to have some life surpluses in the second". As things stand now in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the task has been satisfactorily accomplished in the whole of the region.

According to a news release of People's Daily reporter February 11, an epitome provided is Liulong New Resettlement Base of Tianlin County and Huaijiang Maonan Nationality Autonomous County Resettlement Development Center in the region. By the end of 1999, 250,000 past impoverished from Guangxi's destitute barren mountains had already been well put up in their new homes in various resettlement centers set up in the region. With men having land to till, children having schools to go to and women having their chores to attend to, people being set up in an entirely new bettered environment of hope and development have already with a happy resettled life said good-bye to their past poverty in the region.
