It was a warm spring day in 2021.Chen Beier, a reporter and TV presenter from Hong Kong, was on her way to a small village called Atule'er.The small village sits at the top of an 800 meter high cliff(悬崖).People can only get up to it by climbing a 2,556 step steel ladder(钢梯).It is very dangerous.
So, was Chen looking for adventure there The answer is no.The famous presenter was, instead, making a documentary.
In February 2021, China reached an important goal.It got rid of poverty.Many people couldn't believe this.After all, China has a large number of poor villages.In order to show the truth to people, Chen set out to make No Poverty Land.
The trip turned out to be hard.When she was halfway up the ladder to Atule'er.For example, Chen felt so tired that she could hardly go any further.She was also afraid of heights.The villagers advised her to stop the climb, but the woman continued her climb.
This steel ladder, in fact, is only six years old.Before it was built, the villagers had to face even bigger danger and use a rattan(藤条) ladder.The government has also built houses for the villagers at the foot of the mountain.Through No Poverty Land, people can easily see how life in poor areas of China has been improved.
China has changed a lot, but some people just find it hard to believe.Now, Chen has shown us what we can do about that: Don't just tell people about the great changes; show them when you can.

Great Changes in Myself
We grow up in change.Growth makes our life full of meaning.
Looking back on the nearly three years of junior high school, I have experienced many changes in my study, thought, character, life and so on.The biggest personal change I've ever made is that I have fallen in love with reading.
When I was a child, I didn't enjoy books at all.Later, my mother always read stories for me and bought me books.Gradually I began to love reading.While reading, I feel like talking with a wise man.Reading is also a fantastic way to enjoy my free time.
Books are my friends.And they will benefit me a lot.
