Editor's Note: A TV series focusing on a rural village smack dab in the Gobi Desert has introduced Chinese viewers to the valiant efforts made on the frontlines of China's fight against poverty. Hundreds of millions of Chinese have been touched by the stories portrayed in the series. They have smiled and cried as they follow the characters in the series, such as three brothers who are so poor that they must share one pair of pants. Through these stories the audiences have seen the bitterness of poverty, but they have also been given hope by learning about the various government programs that have been implemented to lift these people out of poverty, such as helping farmers relocate from difficult-to-reach mountainous areas to the plains where they can take part in projects that allow them to develop garden economies.
