A Case of Poverty Alleviation in China: Rongjiang's "Village Super League" – A Systematic Poverty Alleviation Practice Driven by the Integration of Agriculture, Culture, Tourism, Sports and Commerce
2025-11-10This case introduces Rongjiang County in Guizhou Province, which has pioneered an effective path of systematic poverty alleviation with Chinese characteristics for underdeveloped regions through the "Village Super League" (Cun Chao) model. Centered on football, rooted in culture, empowered by new media, and driven by universal participation, the model integrates football matches, ethnic cultural performances, agricultural product exhibitions, and tourism experiences. Building on the experience of "five county-level cultural brand building attempts," leveraging over 80 years of local folk football traditions and thousands of years of ethnic cultural heritage, the CPC Rongjiang County Committee and People's Government have innovatively utilized new media and established a three-level linkage governance mechanism (county-township-village), a "benefit-sharing for all" model, and a 10,000-person new media communication matrix. These efforts have engaged all 385,000 Rongjiang residents in co-building the "Guizhou Village Super League" brand, transforming county resources into developmental momentum and providing a replicable Chinese solution for poverty alleviation in developing countries worldwide.
