Xi's special bond with children

Caring for orphans and disabled children

During his visit before the 2014 Spring Festival to Hohhot city in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Xi made a special trip to a welfare home for orphans and disabled children.

He was delighted to see the children had a happy life and called for love for children, especially orphans and the disabled, from across society.

When communicating with the hearing-impaired girl Wang Yani, Xi encouraged her to study hard and wished her success in her studies. Xi also learned the sign language for "thanks" from Wang.
