Chinese President 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 visit, Xi explored a local food market and a residential community in Shenyang. He inquired about the supply of goods during the festive season and reviewed measures implemented to meet residents' daily needs and enhance public services. Xi also learned about the progress made in improving people's livelihoods in the region.
For over a decade, it has been a tradition for Xi, as the top leader of the Party and the state, to spend time with ordinary citizens ahead of the Spring Festival. His visits aim to connect with communities, understand local conditions, and ensure that the needs of the people are being met during this important time of the year.
The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is a time of family reunions and cultural celebrations. Xi's visit underscores the government's commitment to supporting communities and ensuring a prosperous and harmonious festival for all residents.
