Since the start of poverty alleviation,under the special concern of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and with the immense assistance from the whole nation,the Tibet Autonomous Region has always taken winning the battle against poverty as a major political task and the first livelihood project,and has regarded poverty alleviation as a priority task that takes charge of the overall situation of economic and social development and the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.The problem of absolute poverty that has existed in Tibet for thousands of years has been eliminated.The material life of the poor people has been greatly improved,their spiritual outlook has been renewed,and the production and living conditions in agricultural and pastoral areas have undergone radical changes.This has laid a solid foundation for building a moderately prosperous society,promoting the rural revitalization strategy and alleviating the problem of relative poverty.Medog County is located on the southeastern border of the Tibet Autonomous Region,and is a multi-ethnic area inhabited mainly by Monpa,Lhoba,Tibetan and Han nationalities.Due to historical and geographical reasons,it used to be a deeply impoverished county.After the peaceful liberation of Tibet in 1951,the economic and social development of Medog County has come into the overall layout of Tibet's development.After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Party Central Committee of China in 1978,Medog County adhered to the implementation of the principles and policies of“reform,opening up and invigorating”,and the economic and social construction presented a new situation and new atmosphere of prosperity.Since 2014,the agricultural and pastoral areas of Tibet have comprehensively implemented the strategy of targeted poverty alleviation and targeted poverty elimination.The state's assistance to Medog has increased substantially year by year in terms of investment in poverty alleviation projects and funds.At the beginning of 2019,after the research,the Standing Committee of the Nyingchi Municipal Party Committee confirmed the official announcement that Medog County was lifted out of poverty.Since 2008,fundamental development and changes have occurred in the transportation infrastructure of Medog County,which has greatly promoted the overall development of the economy and society.As a result,rural electrification and the construction of moderately prosperous villages on the border have been steadily advanced,and the living and production conditions of the local people have undergone fundamental changes.As an important part of poverty alleviation,Medog County has made great efforts to develop characteristic economy,such as the tea industry according to local conditions.The tea gardens have become“cash cows”for the local people to get rich and a“landscape”in the eyes of tourists.The unique geographical location has nurtured colorful and diverse natural resources from alpine cold zones to tropical rain forests in Medog County.Coupled with rich resources of religion and traditional culture,it enjoys superior tourism resources and has a privileged advantage.After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949,education in Medog County was faced with a situation of backward infrastructure and a serious shortage of educational talents.With the efforts of the governments in China at all levels and local people,modern education in Medog County began to gradually step on the track of development.Since 2013,Medog County has made great progress in education and intellectual poverty alleviation by strictly implementing various policies to benefit the people and vigorously carrying out skills training and literacy.With the strong support of the State,the Tibet Autonomous Region,Nyingchi City,and the counterpart aid to provinces and cities,Medog County has gradually gotten rid of the backward medical infrastructure and the difficult situation of people lacking doctors and medicines.They have gradually formed a new situation of basic perfection of medical and health institutions and personnel allocation,gradual formation of a comprehensive counterpart medical assistance system,the rapid development of medical and health undertakings with distinctive features,and continuous improvement of the primary-level medical care and consultation conditions.As the fight against poverty in Tibet continues to advance,while the whole country supports the economic construction of Tibet,the national counterparts vigorously support cultural preservation,cultural development and cultural exchanges in Tibet in terms of manpower,material and financial resources,and build the common spiritual home of the Chinese nation.
