After relocation, Cangqung and her family now have access to leisure square, activity center, school and other amenities. Her life significantly improved with the opening of her own store, which brings her an annual income of 10,000 yuan (1,445 U.S. dollars). She is also entitled to dividends from a village cooperative. In recent years, Tibet Autonomous Region gives high priority to poverty alleviation and takes effective measures to improve the living and working conditions of locals. The poverty relief policies have benefited 628,000 registered poor residents in the region. (Xinhua/Zhan Yan)
