In a video call that melted hearts nationwide, President Xi Jinping, also General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, connected with seniors and staff at Fuzhou Social Welfare Institute in Fujian Province this week. With Lunar New Year approaching, Xi sent festive wishes and stressed the urgency of improving elderly care as China’s population ages. 🎉
“Respecting the elderly is a core value of our nation,” Xi said, calling for society-wide efforts to ensure seniors live “happy and fulfilling lives.” His message resonated deeply, especially with 78-year-old Liu Xiaolan, who thanked Xi for his “genuine concern” during the virtual meetup. 👏
This isn’t just policy—it’s personal. Xi’s focus on elderly welfare mirrors his longstanding emphasis on social harmony, a pillar of China’s development strategy. As young professionals juggle careers and family, initiatives like these aim to build a safety net for generations to come. 💼👨👩👧👦
