Shibadong， or Eighteen Caves， is the place where the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee first raised the important thought of precision poverty alleviation in Hunan Province. In five years， the author visited the village eight times， gathering typical examples on the ground to tell the story of how local villagers joined hands with officials to turn a poverty-stricken village locked behind mountains into a model of precision poverty alleviation through strategic planning that makes the best of local resources.
