According to the present data, over half of the resettled population still live in relative poverty, with average annual income of 175 yuan and grain allocation of 190 kg per person. However, the special fund was intended only for establishing utility and township infrastructure, and not for building living units for the resettled people, who must provide for their own moving, transportation, and building cost. The actual amount of land turned over was 230,000 mu, not the promised 300,000 mu allocation. Less than half of the actual allocated land is of favorable condition. Many problems remain unsolved, such as those related to improving capital investment, administrative organization, poverty relief, safeguard from floods, and education.
Resettlement therefore creates a severe social impact on the welfare of the nation.
