Seeing changes in China
It was a warm spring day in202 l. Chen Beier, a reporter and TV presenter（节目主持人）from Hong Kong, was on her way to a small village called Atule'er. The small village sits at the top of an 800—meter—high cliff（悬崖）. People can only get up to it by climbing a 2, 556—step steel ladder（钢梯）. It is very dangerous.
So, was Chen looking for adventure（探险）there？The answer is no. Instead, The famous presenter was, making a documentary（纪录片）.
In February2021, China reached an important goal. It got rid of poverty（摆脱贫困）, Many people couldn't believe this. After all, China has a large number of poor villages. In order to show the truth to people, Chen set out to make No Poverty Land （无穷之路）. The trip turned out to be hard, For example, When she was halfway up the ladder to Atule'er. Chen felt so tired that she could hardly go any further. She was also afraid of heights. The villagers advised her to stop the climb, but the woman continued her climb.
This steel ladder, in fact, is only six years old. Before it was built, the villagers had to face even bigger danger and use a rattan（藤条制成的）ladder, . The government has also built houses for the villagers at the foot of the mountain. Through No Poverty Land, people can easily see how life in poor areas of China has been improved.
China has changed a lot, but some people just find it hard to believe. Now, Chen has shown us what we can do about that: Don't just tell people about the great changes；show them when you can.
