Xi's special bond with children

Planting the seeds of eco-consciousness

From 2013 to 2021, Xi has joined an annual voluntary tree-planting activity in Beijing.

Xi has used the occasion to communicate with members of the Chinese Young Pioneers, a national organization for Chinese children, at every year except 2020, when children were excluded from the activity due to COVID-19.

He usually tells the children to study hard, and develop a love for labor and exercise. Leading by example, Xi has planted the seeds of environmental awareness in children, who have the future of the nation and the planet in their hands.
