On Thursday, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, paid a visit to Shenyang, the capital city of northeast China's Liaoning Province, just days before the upcoming Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival, which falls on January 29 this year, is the most important festival for the Chinese people. Amid the festive preparations, Xi's visit brought warmth and attention to the local community.
During his time in Shenyang, Xi visited a food market and a residential community. He engaged with vendors and residents, inquiring about the supply of goods during the holiday season and ensuring that measures are in place to meet residents' daily needs. He also learned about efforts to optimize public services and improve people's livelihoods.
For more than a decade, it has been a tradition for Xi, as the top leader of the Party and the state, to spend time with ordinary people ahead of the Spring Festival. His visits highlight the government's commitment to the well-being of its citizens, especially during significant cultural celebrations.
