Amid chilling temperatures, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, visited the flood-stricken village of Zhujiagou in Liaoning Province on Wednesday. His visit comes ahead of the Spring Festival, China's most significant holiday, which falls on January 29 this year.
