On the morning of January 23, 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping, during his inspection in Shenyang, northeast China's Liaoning Province, visited the Dadong Grocery Market to check on market supply ahead of the Spring Festival. This seemingly ordinary market became a witness to Xi's heartfelt concern for the people and his deep care for their livelihoods, as the holiday season approached.

Inside the market, when Xi walked in, many children were excited and eagerly handed him candy they had just bought. The children's eyes sparkled with excitement and innocence, while Xi smiled and accepted the candy from them. He kindly said, "I will accept your candy, and it will make my heart sweet. I hope your life will be as sweet and beautiful as this candy." This simple yet heartfelt sentence resonated with everyone present, conveying his genuine concern for the people.

This scene not only displayed President Xi's down-to-earth image as someone who cares about people's livelihoods, but also reflected the deep emotional bond he shares with the people. Every year, ahead of the Spring Festival, Xi always takes the time to visit people at the primary and grassroots levels, celebrating the holiday with them and discussing the future together. Whether inspecting markets, visiting communities, or having heartfelt exchanges with the public, Xi always places the welfare of the people at the forefront of his mind.

Under his leadership, the pre-festival inspection has become a well-established tradition. Xi has always emphasized the importance of caring for people's livelihoods, listening to their voices and translating their needs and expectations into concrete policies. While Spring Festival is a time for family reunions, for Xi, it is even more significant to personally share in the joy and concerns of the people during this special time, conveying warmth and hope.

Whether in the past or at present, Xi's Spring Festival visits always adhere to one core principle: "People First." Through his personal visits, he not only allows the people to feel the care of the government, but also closely links people's livelihood issues with development needs, making every ordinary citizen feel warmth and hope as they look forward to a brighter future.

Those heartwarming Spring Festival visits showcased Xi's sense of responsibility and commitment as a leader of the people, bringing the care of the Party and government to every corner, allowing the people to feel warmth and strength.
