Xi inspects post-disaster recovery in rural Shanxi
TAIYUAN - Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, on Wednesday visited a village in North China's Shanxi province that was affected by severe floods last year.
Braving the snow, Xi went to Fengnanyuan village of Huozhou city, where he visited the disaster-affected people and learned about local post-disaster reconstruction.
"I came to Shanxi today primarily out of the concern for people whose work and lives were affected by last year's disaster," Xi told the villagers.
"I am glad to observe that despite the severity of the disaster, you did a good job in reconstruction and replanting crops with the help of the Party and government," Xi said. "I feel assured."
Xi also extended his greetings to the villagers for the Chinese New Year.
