Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made a significant visit to Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, on Thursday. The trip comes shortly before the Spring Festival, the most important festival for the Chinese people, which falls on January 29 this year.
During his visit, Xi toured a bustling food market and a local residential community. Engaging directly with residents and vendors, he inquired about the supply of goods during the holiday season and the measures in place to meet daily needs. He also examined efforts to optimize public services and the progress made in improving people's lives.
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 hands-on approach underscores the government's commitment to prioritizing the well-being of its citizens.
The Spring Festival, also known as the Lunar New Year, is a time of family reunions, cultural celebrations, and significant economic activity across China. Xi's visit highlights the importance of ensuring communities are well-prepared for the festivities and that residents' needs are met during this vital period.
