　　The bar chart given above describes the significant changes in the population of rural poverty during the period from 2013 to 2017 in China. Based on the data, we can see that there is a steady decrease in the number of the population of rural poverty from approximately 82.49 million to 30.46 million.

　　It is no difficulty for us to come up with some possible factors to account for this trend. Firstly, thanks to the economy boom, the rapid development of rural economy has surged by leaps and bounds, which makes sure that the rural residents have opportunities in ever-mounting numbers to enhance their abilities. Secondly, as the technology advances, the communication technology continues to develop, which makes more and more rural people know the world through the Internet. They eager to escape from poverty, so people in rural area have given education a priority, which is also responsible for this situation. Last but not the least, we have to admit that our government has released some preferential policies to support the rural population.

　　Taking into account what has been argued, we can come to the conclusion that this established trend is positive and therefore acceptable. And it is certain that this trend will continue in the years to come.
