Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival, a day for families to reunite and bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. On the occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, CCTV.com has launched a series of special articles to follow in the footsteps of General Secretary Xi Jinping's New Year and appreciate the profound people's feelings.
During the Chinese New Year, I am more concerned about grassroots cadres and the masses. Year after year, even though the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the weather is cold and the earth is frozen, General Secretary Xi Jinping's New Year footprints remain unchanged, only for this concern in his heart.
Bringing warmth with spring
I have always been concerned in my heart, and during that time, I was learning about the situation here every day.
On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2025, General Secretary Xi Jinping traveled to the grassroots level and traveled by train and car to Zhujiagou Village in Huludao, Liaoning Province, which suffered from severe floods in August last year. Under the warm winter sun, the neatly arranged resettlement houses with bright and clean windows are adorned with lanterns, couplets, and window decorations, exuding a joyful atmosphere everywhere.
Without your care and concern for such a disaster, we would never have imagined living in such a spacious and beautiful house
Putting the people first and helping the disaster stricken masses is what the Party and the government should do.
The next morning, the figure of General Secretary appeared in a residential area that had been built for more than 30 years in Shenyang, Liaoning. In the past two years, the coal, water, electricity, and heat in the community have been renovated one by one, and the community is no longer as old and dilapidated as before. At the home of the resident Lang Sulan, who lived together for four generations, the 82 year old Lang Sulan held the hand of the General Secretary tightly.
After asking about income, expenses, and daily life, the General Secretary still asked with concern, "What difficulties do you have in your current life.
There is a sense of gain in every aspect of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. The elderly person smiled and said, 'The community takes special care of us elderly people.'.
On January 23, 2025, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the home of resident Lang Sulan while inspecting Chang'an Community in Chang'an Street, Dadong District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province.
Shenshan Village in Jiangxi Province is a small village with only about 70 households. There is a sign standing in the village, which reads: "Shenshan Village, in the mountain valley, for thousands of years, barren land, in the year of Yi Wei, General Secretary, bring spring and send warmth. Looking back now, it still stands vividly.
That was the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month in 2016, which happened to be the Southern Chinese New Year. At the home of villager Peng Xiaying, the General Secretary lightly tapped the wall with his hand, his face somewhat solemn: "There is heavy wind and snow on the mountain, and the temperature is low. The quality of the villagers' earthen houses still needs to be improved." He asked the local officials accompanying him to study and "see how to help everyone renovate them.
As long as there are still families or even individuals who have not solved their basic living problems, we cannot remain calm. In General Secretary Xi Jinping's New Year's concern, there are people in need, people in old areas, grassroots workers.
Last year, as the New Year's flavor grew stronger, he tightly held the hands of vegetable farmers in the "Beijing Tianjin Vegetable First Village" and said, "We should thank you for your hard work, which enriched the 'vegetable basket' for the Spring Festival; On the eve of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Tiger in Renyin, he braved the snow to visit the disaster stricken villages. "The quality of the newly built houses is very good, the subsidies are in place, and the people's homes have sufficient New Year's goods, which have a strong New Year's atmosphere. I have a sense of confidence in my heart.
On January 26, 2014, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Alshan in Inner Mongolia, a border area of China, and braved the wind and snow to comfort the officers and soldiers patrolling and on duty along the border.
Thousands of rivers and mountains, warm spring brings long-lasting emotions.
Call 'Auntie' when you enter, as friendly as if you were one of your own; Squat down and pick up the young child, with loving eyes and eyebrows; Opening the refrigerator, lifting the lid of the pot, touching the blanket, scooping up a bucket of water to taste the water quality... General Secretary Xi Jinping's concern for the people is meticulous, reflected in every little detail.
Wishing you a beautiful and joyful smile.
To bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, hoping that life will be "better every year" is the most simple expectation of every Chinese.

I also wish you success.
