YINCHUAN, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) Watching his children and grandchildren sitting around, eating, and laughing in front of delicious dishes during the Spring Festival holiday, Shen Kejian felt happy, if a little sentimental. It s like we are celebrating festivals every day because we can eat whatever we want these days, said Shen, 77. Life has become better.
Shen lives in Shenjiahe Folk Culture Village in the Yuanzhou District of Guyuan City in northwest China s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. It was once a poverty-stricken village in Xihaigu, one of China s most impoverished areas, until recent years.

YINCHUAN, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) For more than 50 years, Jiang Jie has written Spring Festival couplets for villagers in his neighborhood.
As a tradition, Chinese people write Spring Festival couplets, a two-sentence, auspicious poem written on red couplets in anticipation of a prosperous Lunar New Year.
As the Spring Festival is just around the corner, Jiang has joined other villagers in writing the couplets again. The difference this year is that each of them wore a mask under the requirements of COVID-19 control and prevention. It s like a ceremony for us to say goodbye to winter and say hello to spring. Likewise, we bid farewell to poverty and pray for luck in the coming year, said Jiang, 80.
