Jigongtan Village is located deep in the Wugai Mountains, with an average altitude of 840 meters. It has severe land desertification and was once a provincial poverty-stricken village. 14 years of military career have tempered Chen Dazang's tenacity to "not admit defeat". He has taken the front line of poverty alleviation. In 5 years, he led the villagers of Jigongtan Village to build roads and grow sweet potatoes. The collective annual income of Jigongtan Village increased from a gap to 112,000 yuan, and the per capita income has reached 12,000 yuan in 2014. The comprehensive poverty incidence rate has dropped from 31.53% to 0%, and all 96 households and 373 people in Jigongtan Village have been lifted out of poverty.

The "most beautiful retired soldiers" are outstanding representatives of the vast number of retired soldiers. The purpose of holding the "Most Beautiful Veterans" activity is to inspire the pride, honor and responsibility of the majority of veterans, and always maintain the true nature of military personnel; it is to create a strong atmosphere of respecting the army and supporting the military and family members in the whole society, vigorously study and publicize the advanced deeds of "Most Beautiful Veterans", care about, understand and respect retired soldiers, and gather tremendous strength for the province to vigorously implement the "three highs and four new" strategy and strive to build a modern new Hunan.
