None of us young reporters has ever experienced poverty, so the idea of it strongly attracted us. Traveling across mountains and rivers, we visited seven counties and 14 townships in the Miao and Tong Nationalities Prefecture in Southeast Guizhou, the Buyi and Miao Nationalities Prefecture in Liupanshui City, and the Anshun region in South Guizhou. Between green mountains and blue waters, we saw poverty. And although we only saw the superficial aspects of people’s lives there, it shocked and moved us.展开更多
