As the collaboration on poverty alleviation between Jiangsu and Shaanxi provinces continues to develop government departments and enterprises of the two provinces have more and more communications and interactions on joint development.

Xinzha and Aiguo villages in Tianshenggang sub-district, Chongchuan district, are partnered with Erlangba and Luojiaba villages in Erlangba town, Ningqiang county, Hanzhong city, Shaanxi province. On Sept 1, a delegation of Chongchuan district visited Hanzhong, injecting power of love to Erlangba town.

Sept 1 is the first day of the new semester for local primary and secondary schools in Hanzhong. Led by Zhu Jian, deputy head of the Tianshenggang sub-district office, representatives from two Nantong enterprises – Nantong Jiuzhou Ship Mechanical Fittings Factory and Nantong Shihong Import and Export Co Ltd – visited Erlangba Primary School and donated uniforms to the 247 pupils in the school as a gift for the new semester.

In addition, Nantong Lihe Shipping Co Ltd invested in building a new bridge for Erlangba town to replace the former bridge washed away due to a rainstorm. The new bridge was completed at the end of August.

"Caring for the next generation and people's livelihood is what we have been working towards," Zhu said. "The donations from Nantong enterprises bring warmth to local residents in Ningqiang and facilitate the Jiangsu-Shaanxi paired assistance."
