Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, paid a visit to Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, on Thursday. This visit comes just days before the Spring Festival, China's most significant traditional holiday, which falls on January 29 this year.
During his time in Shenyang, Xi visited a bustling food market and a local residential community. He engaged with vendors and shoppers, inquiring about the supply of goods during the holiday season and the measures in place to meet residents' daily needs. He also reviewed efforts to optimize public services and improve the quality of life for the community.
For over a decade, Xi has upheld the tradition of spending time with ordinary people ahead of the Spring Festival. His visits highlight his commitment to staying connected with citizens and ensuring that preparations for the festive season are running smoothly.
In the vibrant atmosphere of the market, Xi's conversations with locals underscored the importance of community spirit and the shared anticipation of the Lunar New Year celebrations. Residents expressed their appreciation for his hands-on approach and attention to their welfare.
As the nation prepares to celebrate, Xi's visit emphasizes the government's focus on fostering social cohesion and addressing the needs of its people during this significant cultural event.
