China's President Xi Jinping took a hands-on approach to understanding rural development during his visit to Zhangzhou in Fujian Province this week. The General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee explored Aojiao Village, the Gu Wenchang Memorial Hall, and the Guandi Cultural Industrial Park, spotlighting strategies for modernizing the countryside while preserving its soul.
At Aojiao Village, Xi emphasized that 'farmers will thrive in the new era' as China prioritizes rural revitalization. His visit highlighted efforts to boost local economies through sustainable initiatives—think eco-tourism meets tech-friendly farming!
Xi also paid tribute to Gu Wenchang, a former Dongshan Party leader celebrated for his integrity and dedication. Calling Gu an 'exemplary model' for officials, Xi urged current leaders to mirror his commitment to public service and cultural preservation.
This trip underscores China's dual focus: empowering rural communities and honoring heritage. With Fujian’s mix of innovation and tradition, it’s a blueprint for balancing progress with roots.
