Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, visited flood-affected residents in the village of Zhujiagou in northeast China's Liaoning Province on Wednesday. Braving the cold, Xi met with villagers to assess the situation and extend his support to those impacted by the recent floods.
Zhujiagou village, located under the administration of Suizhong County in Huludao City, has been grappling with the aftermath of severe flooding. During his visit, Xi Jinping spoke with local residents, inquiring about their well-being and the progress of recovery efforts. He emphasized the importance of rebuilding homes and restoring livelihoods ahead of the upcoming Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival, which falls on January 29 this year, is the most significant traditional festival for the Chinese people. Xi's visit underscored the government's commitment to ensuring that all citizens can celebrate the festival with safety and joy, despite the challenges posed by natural disasters.
Local authorities have been mobilized to provide relief and support to the affected areas. Efforts are underway to repair damaged infrastructure, distribute essential supplies, and implement measures to prevent future flooding. Xi Jinping's visit highlighted the central government's focus on rural development and disaster preparedness.
The residents of Zhujiagou expressed gratitude for the support and attention from the government. "With the help of the Party and the community, we are confident that we can rebuild and have a happy Spring Festival," said one villager.
Xi's visit to Liaoning Province reflects a broader initiative to address the needs of communities in remote and disaster-stricken areas, ensuring that economic development and social welfare reach all corners of the country.
