Huang Wenxiu
Chinese village official (1989-2019)
Huang Wenxiu (Chinese: 黄文秀; pinyin: Huáng Wénxiù; Zhuang: Vangz Vwnzsiu; 18 April 1989 – 17 June 2019) was a Chinese Communist Party village official of Zhuang ethnicity. During her time as the First Secretary of Baini village in Guangxi, she implemented economic development and poverty reduction initiatives. Following her death in 2019 from a flash flood, the Chinese Communist Party posthumously elevated Huang as national model for poverty alleviation.
Early life
Huang was born on 18 April 1989, one of three children born to a poor peasant family in Tianyang District of Baise City in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Despite the poverty and her parents' illnesses, she worked hard from a young age and was determined to receive a better education. In college entrance examinations in 2007, Huang did not perform well and in 2008, she retook examinations and on the same year, she was accepted into Changzhi University to study ideology and political science. She graduated in 2010 and in 2011, she became a member of the Chinese Communist Party.
In 2013, she was admitted to the School of Philosophy at Beijing Normal University and graduated with a degree in law in 2016. Following her graduation, she gave up her desire of finding a profession in Beijing and instead, she decided to return to Baise to work with rural government's poverty alleviation. When asked why she decided to work in a remote rural area, she stated that: "Baise is the main battlefield for poverty alleviation.
