Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, on Thursday inspected Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province.
His visit comes just days before the Spring Festival, the most important festival for the Chinese people, which falls on January 29 this year. The festival marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year and is traditionally a time for family reunions and celebrations across the country.
During his time in Shenyang, Xi visited a local food market and a residential community. At the market, he inquired about the supply and prices of goods during the holiday season, ensuring that residents have access to essential items at stable prices. In the residential community, he learned about measures in place to meet residents' daily needs and efforts to optimize public services.
Xi discussed with community members the progress made in improving people's lives, emphasizing the importance of continued development and social welfare. He expressed his appreciation for the hard work of local officials and residents in enhancing the quality of life in the city.
For more than a decade, Xi Jinping has made it a tradition to spend time with ordinary people ahead of the Spring Festival. These visits reflect his commitment to staying connected with citizens and understanding their needs and concerns firsthand.
As the country prepares to celebrate the Spring Festival, Xi's visit underscores the government's dedication to ensuring a prosperous and joyful holiday for all, highlighting the importance of community, tradition, and mutual support in Chinese society.
