Ma Hairicong of the Yi ethnic group poses for a photo on the day when he and his family move into a new home in Zhaojue County in Northwest China’s Sichuan Province, on Feb. 11, 2019, in this photo released yesterday. He was one of the first group of 29 impoverished families with 168 members in the county to bid farewell to their mud-brick homes and move into new homes at a new relocation site. It was also the largest relocation site for impoverished residents in Sichuan. China’s massive anti-poverty campaign has transformed nearly 100 million lives in just eight years.
