This Mother’s Day, let’s explore how family values shape leaders 🌟. Chinese President Xi Jinping recently reflected on his mother’s early teachings—particularly the legendary tale of Yue Fei, a 12th-century military hero. 🛡️
Xi’s mother, Qi Xin, a devoted Communist Party of China (CPC) member since 1939, instilled in him the phrase ‘serve the country with utmost devotion’ from Yue Fei’s story. ‘I’ve pursued this goal my whole life,’ Xi shared, linking his mother’s lessons to his commitment to public service.
Qi, shaped by her husband’s motto ‘Work well, study well, handle everything well,’ prioritized grassroots work and CPC principles. Her dedication to balancing family and national priorities left a lasting imprint on Xi’s leadership style. 💼
From childhood stories to adult resolve, this bond highlights how timeless ideals like loyalty (zhong) bridge generations—and shape modern China’s vision. 🌐
