China's iconic revolutionary base Yan'an bids farewell to poverty

CAREER SETS SAIL

As the deadline to eradicate absolute poverty approaches, China redoubles its efforts to focus on the nation's poorest people in rural areas with precise and targeted measures.

To train impoverished people and offer them appropriate jobs is one of such measures Yan'an has come up with.

Though the nearest sea is more than 1,000 km away, Yan'an is proud of its sailor education. Nearly 2,000 sailors have graduated from Yan'an Vocational and Technical College over the past decade.
