In the days leading up to the Spring Festival, General Secretary Xi Jinping of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee visited Shenyang, the capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, on Thursday. The Spring Festival, falling on January 29 this year, is the most significant celebration for the Chinese people.
During his visit, Xi Jinping immersed himself in the bustling atmosphere of the city, stopping by a local food market where vendors displayed an array of goods for the holiday season. He engaged with both merchants and shoppers, inquiring about the availability and affordability of essential items. The general secretary expressed his appreciation for the efforts made to ensure residents have access to ample supplies during the festive period.
Xi also toured a residential community in Shenyang, where he learned about initiatives aimed at enhancing public services and meeting the daily needs of the people. He discussed with community workers the progress made in improving living conditions and listened attentively to residents' experiences and suggestions.
For over a decade, it has been a tradition for Xi Jinping, as the top leader of the Party and the state, to spend time with ordinary citizens ahead of the Spring Festival. His visits underscore a commitment to understanding the lives of the people and addressing their concerns.
The visit to Shenyang not only highlights the importance of the region but also reinforces the leadership's focus on fostering strong connections with communities across the Chinese mainland. As families prepare to celebrate the Spring Festival, Xi's engagement with the residents brings a message of unity and shared prosperity.
