On Thursday, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made a timely visit to Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, just days before the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival, which falls on January 29 this year, is the most significant celebration for the Chinese people, marking a time of family reunions and cultural festivities.
During his visit, Xi toured a bustling food market and a residential community, where he interacted with locals and learned about the supply of goods during the holiday season. He inquired about measures in place to meet residents' daily needs, optimize public services, and was briefed on the progress made in improving people's lives.
For more than a decade, Xi, as the top leader of the Party and the state, has upheld the tradition of spending time with ordinary people ahead of the Spring Festival. His visits symbolize a commitment to understanding grassroots realities and ensuring that the needs of the people are being met.
In Shenyang, a city with rich industrial heritage and cultural significance, Xi's visit ahead of the nation's most important festival highlights the government's focus on enhancing the well-being of its citizens and revitalizing the northeastern region.
