On a cold Wednesday in northeast China's Liaoning Province, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, visited the flood-affected village of Zhujiagou in Suizhong County, Huludao City. Braving the chilly weather, Xi met with local residents who have been grappling with the aftermath of recent floods.
The timing of the visit was significant, as it came just days before the Spring Festival, China's most important traditional holiday, which falls on January 29 this year. The festival is a time for family reunions and celebration, but for many in Zhujiagou village, the devastation caused by the floods has cast a shadow over the festivities.
Xi Jinping's presence brought warmth and hope to the villagers. He extended his heartfelt greetings and best wishes for the upcoming festival, listening to their concerns and discussing the recovery efforts underway. His visit underscored the government's commitment to supporting affected communities and ensuring that no one is left behind during this important time of the year.
