Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, visited Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, on Thursday ahead of the upcoming Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival, which falls on January 22 this year, is the most important festival for the Chinese people, marking the beginning of the Lunar New Year. Xi's visit to Shenyang underscores his commitment to connect with local communities and ensure the well-being of residents during this significant time.
During his visit, Xi toured a bustling food market and a residential community, where he inquired about the supply of goods for the holiday season. He assessed the measures in place to meet residents' daily needs and optimize public services, emphasizing the importance of improving people's livelihoods.
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 interactions with the public reflect a hands-on approach to leadership and a dedication to understanding the everyday experiences of citizens.
