从塞外边陲到革命老区，从城市社区到民族村寨，每逢春节前夕，习近平总书记都要迎风踏雪到各地走村串户、访贫问苦，在寒冬里为基层劳动者们送去最诚挚问候，为全国各族人民送上新春祝福。2019年，他走进了北京的胡同。

Formed by narrow streets and ancient yards, Beijing's symbolic hutong area epitomizes local traditions and ways of living. In February, Chinese President Xi Jinping paid a surprise visit to a hutong in Beijing to extend his Spring Festival greetings to the folks, and shared his thoughts on preserving the city's history.

In Xi's own words

总书记的话

北京的文化底蕴在哪里

Where does Beijing's culture lie?

就是胡同

It lies in the hutongs.

老古董但是你又能让它适应

Although hutongs are old fashioned,

居民现代的生活的需要

they also have to cater to the needs of the residents' modern lifestyle.

把这两个结合好

Old and modern should be combined.

可以结合好

They can sustain with each other very well.
