China has achieved its goal of poverty reduction as planned, and lifted nearly 100 million people out of poverty in the past eight years.
A photo exhibition, Fields of Hope, shows an overall picture of poverty alleviation efforts and achievements made by the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government.
These images are a witness to history, allowing people to get a glimpse of this phase in China's journey. The exhibition is co-organized by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, National Museum of China and China Photographers Association.
