Lin Hongxian, Yang Yifan—Tencent
Coming from an impoverished village in Tianshui, Gansu province, Yang Cheng, Li Huijun, Zhou Xuxu work as food delivery men in Wangjing, a district in northeastern Beijing. The three men hail from one extended family. Although the hours are long and the working conditions are hazardous, food delivery work has provided opportunities for people like Yang, Li and Zhou to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. According to statistics provided by the poverty alleviation offices at the State Council and in Gansu Province, and a study conducted by Meituan, one of China’s biggest food delivery companies, 85% of Meituan’s delivery people who come from an impoverished background in Gansu province are already living above the poverty line, which means their families’ annual disposable income is above 3500 RMB/person (~ 500 USD/person), with safe housing, public medical insurance and free public education.
