As the vibrant anticipation of the Spring Festival fills the air, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, paid a visit to Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, on Thursday.
In a tradition that spans over a decade, Xi's pre-festival visits reflect his commitment to staying connected with the people. This year, ahead of the most significant festival for the Chinese people, which falls on January 29, Xi's footsteps led him to the heart of Shenyang's bustling food market and a local residential community.
During his inspection, Xi engaged with vendors and residents, gaining firsthand insight into the supply of goods during the holiday season. He inquired about the measures implemented to meet residents' daily needs and the efforts made to optimize public services. The visit highlighted the progress in improving people's livelihoods and ensuring a prosperous and joyous festival for all.
Xi's interactions underscored the importance of accessibility to essential goods and services, especially during the festive period. His presence in Shenyang not only boosted the morale of the local community but also reaffirmed the government's dedication to the well-being of its citizens.
The Spring Festival, known globally as the Chinese New Year, is a time of reunion and celebration. Xi's annual visits resonate deeply with the cultural significance of the festival, emphasizing unity, prosperity, and the shared aspirations of the nation.
