Shenyang, Liaoning Province — Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, visited the northeastern city of Shenyang on Thursday, just days before the Spring Festival. The festival, which falls on January 29 this year, is the most important celebration for people across the Chinese mainland.
During his visit to the capital of Liaoning Province, Xi stopped by a lively food market and a local residential community. He interacted with residents, inquiring about the supply of goods during the holiday season and the measures in place to meet their daily needs. Xi also learned about efforts to optimize public services and the progress made in improving people’s lives.
For over a decade, Xi has made it a tradition to spend time with ordinary people ahead of the Spring Festival. This practice reflects his commitment to staying connected with communities and ensuring that the voices of the people are heard, especially during such a significant time of the year.
The Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year, is a time for family reunions, festive meals, and cultural activities. Xi’s visits aim to ensure that preparations are in place so that everyone can enjoy the festivities.
