Honoring heroes of past times

An engineer and a primary-level official have been posthumously awarded the title 鈥淩ole Model of the Times鈥 for their respective contributions to fighting poverty and building a beautiful countryside.

Their titles were conferred by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.

Qiu Jun, formerly a department leader at a subordinate company of China National Chemical Engineering Group, voluntarily took a temporary post related to poverty alleviation in the county of Huachi, northwest China鈥檚 Gansu Province.

By introducing poverty relief projects and promoting industries that suited local conditions, Qiu helped lift Huachi out of poverty.

He died in January.

Sun Limei, a former Party official from a village in east China鈥檚 Fujian Province, devoted 17 years to rural development.

China has long pursued a goal of eradicating poverty across the country.
