SHENYANG, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said more efforts should be made so that the people feel the CPC serves the people wholeheartedly and is always with the people.
Xi made the remarks when inspecting the city of Shenyang, northeast China's Liaoning Province, on Wednesday.
Xi visited a community in Huanggu District to learn about local efforts in Party building and public service.
Calling the renovation of old residential communities an important work to improve the quality of people's life, he stressed the need not only to improve the living environment and amenities, but also to boost community services.
Considering China's aging population and increasing life expectancy of the elderly, aged care services should continue to expand, Xi said.
He emphasized developing old-age programs and relevant industries, and strengthening the construction of elderly care facilities in areas with requisite conditions.
Xi also called for enhanced child care and development.
As the government has taken measures to relieve students in compulsory education of excessive burdens from homework and off-campus tutoring, communities should carry out more off-campus activities for public welfare to ensure the children's physical and mental health, Xi said. ■
