In a heartfelt gesture ahead of the Spring Festival, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, visited the northeastern city of Shenyang on Thursday. Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning Province, welcomed Xi as he engaged with local residents and assessed preparations for the upcoming holiday.
The Spring Festival, falling on January 29 this year, is the most significant cultural celebration for the Chinese people. Xi's visit to Shenyang was marked by stops at a bustling food market and a vibrant residential community. There, he inquired about the supply of goods during the festive season, measures ensuring residents' daily needs are met, and efforts to optimize public services. He also took the time to understand the progress made in improving people's livelihoods.
For over a decade, Xi has upheld a tradition of connecting with ordinary citizens ahead of the Spring Festival. His annual visits underscore the importance he places on the well-being of the people and his commitment to fostering a harmonious society.
