Chinese President Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, paid an insightful visit to Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, on Thursday. The trip comes just ahead of the Spring Festival, the most significant and widely celebrated festival in China, which falls on January 29 this year.
During his visit, Xi walked through a bustling food market, engaging with vendors and shoppers alike. He inquired about the supply of goods during the festive season, emphasizing the importance of meeting residents' daily needs and optimizing public services. His presence brought warmth to the community, highlighting the government's commitment to improving people's lives.
Xi also toured a local residential community where he observed firsthand the measures being implemented to enhance public welfare. Residents shared their experiences and the progress made in recent years, expressing appreciation for the efforts to elevate their quality of life.
For over a decade, it has become a cherished tradition for Xi, as the top leader of the Party and the state, to spend time with ordinary citizens ahead of the Spring Festival. This annual practice reflects his dedication to staying connected with the people and understanding their aspirations and concerns.
The Spring Festival, also known as the Lunar New Year, is a time for family reunions and cultural festivities across China and in Asian communities worldwide. Xi's visit underscores the importance of unity and the government's role in ensuring a prosperous and harmonious society during this auspicious period.
