China has spent decades working to alleviate poverty — with incredible success.
And generations of artists have created works that depict these efforts.
Dozens of these pieces are on show at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing until Oct 11. Most come from its collection.
More than 500 works created over seven decades are on display in the venue's 17 halls and outdoor spaces. Also on show are intangible cultural heritage items from remote and impoverished communities.
The show reviews efforts to improve agricultural production, industrial construction, medical care, education and natural-disaster relief, as well as the recent fight to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the countryside.
