On Thursday, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, paid a visit to Shenyang, the capital city of northeast China's Liaoning Province. This visit comes just ahead of the Spring Festival, the most significant festival for the Chinese people, which falls on January 29 this year.
During his time in Shenyang, Xi Jinping visited a bustling food market and a residential community. He engaged with local vendors and residents to learn about the supply of goods during the holiday season and to observe measures in place to meet citizens' daily needs. His visit also focused on understanding how public services are being optimized and the progress made in enhancing the quality of life for the people in the region.
For over a decade, Xi Jinping, as the top leader of the Party and the state, has maintained a tradition of spending time with ordinary people ahead of the Spring Festival. His visits are seen as a gesture of solidarity and a demonstration of the government's commitment to the well-being of its citizens. By connecting directly with communities, Xi emphasizes the importance of understanding the people's needs and ensuring that they enjoy a prosperous and joyful festival season.
The Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year, is a time for family reunions, cultural celebrations, and traditions deeply rooted in Chinese society. Xi's visit to Shenyang not only highlights the significance of the festival but also underscores the government's efforts to promote social harmony and economic vitality in northeastern China.
