 People mourn Huang Wenxiu at her funeral

Huang Wenxiu, the late first secretary of Baini Village in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, was awarded as a National Excellent Communist Party Member for her poverty alleviation efforts by the CPC Central Committee in 2019.

After graduating from Beijing Normal University in 2016, Huang returned to her hometown, Baise City, where she served as an official with the publicity department of the Baise CPC Municipal Committee.

She was appointed as the first secretary of Baini village to help with poverty alleviation in March 2018. She dedicated herself to her career, working day and night to help villagers increase their income and escape poverty.

On June 16, 2018, Huang was trapped in a mountain area by a flash flood while on her way back to the village after visiting her sick father in another county on the week-end. She was found dead the next day at the age of 30.

Her death drew huge attention among the locals and netizens on social media, who mourned for her because she devoted her life to the well-being of others instead of her own.

Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, praised that Huang gave up opportunities to work in big cities and returned to her hometown after she graduated from university, and devoted herself to the poverty-alleviation work in her hometown. Xi encouraged Party members, officials and young people to learn from Huang
