Xinhua News Agency has published a story on Chinese President Xi Jinping's interactions with members of the public ahead of the Spring Festival over the years.
This story, titled "A deep care crossing rivers and mountains," recollects Xi's pre-festival visits to grassroots officials and local residents, showing his deep care for the people.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in November 2012, it has become a tradition for Xi to visit communities and interact with members of the public in the run-up to the Spring Festival despite his tight schedule.
According to the story, these pre-festival visits embody Xi's unswerving commitment to putting the people first, his lofty ideal of putting aside his own well-being for the people and his original aspiration of remaining faithful to the people.
