President Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, braved the cold on Wednesday to visit flood-affected residents in the village of Zhujiagou, located in Suizhong County, Huludao City, in northeast China's Liaoning Province.
As the Spring Festival approaches—a significant time of reunion and celebration for the Chinese people, which falls on January 29 this year—President Xi's visit brings warmth and support to those impacted by recent floods.
During his visit, President Xi met with local villagers, assessing the damage caused by the floods and discussing recovery efforts. He emphasized the importance of rebuilding and ensuring that affected families have the necessary resources to restore their homes and livelihoods in time for the festival.
The residents of Zhujiagou expressed gratitude for the President's concern and were encouraged by the government's commitment to aid in their recovery. The visit highlights the government's dedication to supporting rural communities and addressing the challenges posed by natural disasters.
Liaoning Province, situated in the northeastern region of China, often experiences harsh winters. The recent floods have exacerbated difficulties for many rural areas. President Xi's hands-on approach underscores the significance of unity and resilience among the Chinese people, especially during times of hardship.
As the nation prepares to celebrate the Spring Festival, efforts are underway to ensure that all citizens, including those in flood-affected areas, can enjoy a prosperous and hopeful start to the new year.
