On the afternoon of October 15, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the village of Ao Jiao in Chen Cheng Town, Dongshan County, Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. During his tour of the local dock, he examined dried seafood and fresh catches, while also learning about the area’s progress in rural revitalization. Remarkably, this was not his first visit; he had been here back in 2001 while working in Fujian. After 23 years, he expressed deep satisfaction with the transformative changes he observed in the village.
Reflecting on the visit, Xi noted, “Rural revitalization must emphasize our strengths and fully leverage the maritime resources.” He emphasized the bright future that lies ahead for rural areas in this new era, stating that farmers can expect to enjoy better lives. He concluded with warm wishes, saying, “May your lives continue to flourish.”
