In Zhejiang, the birthplace of the landmark Green Rural Revival Program, rural transformation over the past 23 years has evolved from merely improving living conditions to delivering common prosperity while building beautiful villages.

The province has focused on narrowing down urban-rural and inter-regional gaps on resident income by making great efforts to develop rural specialty industries. By 2025, the per capital disposable incomes of urban and rural residents in Zhejiang ranked first among all provincial-level regions nationwide for the 25th and 41st consecutive years, respectively.
