Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, on Thursday visited Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, ahead of the upcoming Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival, which falls on January 29 this year, is the most significant traditional holiday for the Chinese people, marking the Lunar New Year and a time for family reunions.
During his visit to Shenyang, Xi Jinping toured a bustling food market and a local residential community. He engaged with vendors and shoppers, inquiring about the supply of goods during the festive season and ensuring that measures are in place to meet residents' daily needs. Xi emphasized the importance of optimizing public services and paid close attention to the progress made in improving people's livelihoods.
For over a decade, Xi, as the top leader of the Party and the state, has upheld the tradition of spending time with ordinary people ahead of the Spring Festival. His visits underscore a commitment to understanding the everyday lives of citizens and addressing their concerns.
The inspection in Shenyang reflects the government's dedication to supporting communities in northeast China, particularly during important cultural celebrations. Xi's hands-on approach highlights the emphasis on grassroots engagement and the well-being of the people.
