Up and Out of Poverty
Up and Out of Poverty is a compilation of Xi Jinping's major works from September 1988 to May 1990 while he worked in Ning De, Fujian Province. It comprises 29 speeches and articles which includes a series of ideas, opinions, and methods of economic development, the construction of Party, cultural advancement, and talent cultivation. Up and Out of Poverty echoes and inherits the spirits of a series of important speeches Xi Jinping has delivered since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. This book aims to introduce China's efforts in poverty alleviation, relief and development, and share China's ideas and experience with developing countries.
Focusing on how the eastern Fujian areas could open up and develop, alleviate poverty and become prosperous, Xi Jinping raised numerous creative ideas and thoughts based on the local conditions at that time and led people from the eastern Fujian areas towards prosperity.
To name just a few, 'to take economic development as the central task', 'to carry forward the spirit of perseverance', 'to get rid of poverty from one's mind before alleviating poverty' are among such innovative ideas and thoughts.
