In a heartfelt gesture ahead of the upcoming Spring Festival, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, visited Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, on Thursday.
During his visit, Xi toured a bustling food market and a local residential community, engaging with vendors and residents. He inquired about the availability and prices of essential goods during the festive season, ensuring that the supply meets the citizens' needs. Xi also examined the measures implemented to optimize public services and enhance the quality of life for the people of Shenyang.
The Spring Festival, which falls on January 29 this year, is the most significant festival for the Chinese people, marking the beginning of the Lunar New Year. Xi's visit underscores the importance of this tradition and reflects his dedication to connecting with ordinary citizens.
For over a decade, Xi, as the top leader of the Party and the state, has maintained the tradition of spending time with the people ahead of the Spring Festival. His visits aim to understand the grassroots realities and ensure that the government's policies effectively improve the lives of the residents.
Xi's engagement with the local community not only highlights the government's commitment to the well-being of its people but also fosters a sense of unity and shared purpose as the nation prepares to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
