Xi Jinping Visits Shenyang Ahead of Spring Festival
Just days before the most important festival of the year, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, took to the streets of Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province. On Thursday, Xi visited local communities, bringing warmth and festive greetings to residents as they prepared for the upcoming Spring Festival, which falls on January 29 this year.
During his visit, Xi strolled through a bustling food market, engaging with vendors and shoppers alike. He inquired about the availability and prices of goods, ensuring that the supply chain remains robust during the holiday season. \"The festive season is a time for families to come together,\" Xi remarked. \"It's essential that everyone has access to quality goods to celebrate properly.\"
Xi also visited a residential community, where he met with locals to discuss their daily needs and the public services available to them. He listened attentively as residents shared their experiences and suggestions for improving community life. Emphasizing the importance of grassroots engagement, Xi said, \"The well-being of the people is at the heart of our work. Your voices guide our efforts to build a better society.\"
For over a decade, it has been Xi's tradition to spend time with ordinary people ahead of the Spring Festival. His visits reflect a continued commitment to understanding the lives of the citizens and addressing their concerns. This annual gesture reinforces the bond between the leadership and the people, highlighting the shared aspirations for prosperity and harmony in the new year.
