Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, on Thursday visited Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, ahead of the upcoming Spring Festival.
Amid the bustling preparations for the most important festival for the Chinese people, which falls on January 29 this year, Xi walked through a lively food market and a residential community. He engaged with vendors and residents, inquiring about the supply of goods during the holiday season and the measures in place to meet residents' daily needs.
At the food market, Xi observed the variety of fresh produce and essential items available to ensure families can celebrate the festival with abundance. He emphasized the importance of maintaining adequate supply and stable prices, especially during this festive period.
In the residential community, Xi met with local families, listening attentively to their experiences and suggestions on how to further optimize public services. He expressed his commitment to improving people's livelihoods and ensuring that everyone can enjoy a happy and prosperous Spring Festival.
For more than a decade, Xi, as the top leader of the Party and the state, has made it a tradition to spend time with ordinary people ahead of the Spring Festival. His visits reflect a deep connection with the community and a dedication to addressing the needs and well-being of the Chinese people.
