Xi's visit still inspires Shenyang factory workers

Factory worker Ma Changhao, 40, still remembers the visit of Communist Party of China Central Committee General Secretary Xi Jinping to Shenyang's Tiexi district four years ago.

"I was working on part of a blower when he visited our workshop. He asked me what I was doing and asked us to keep improving the technical level," recalled Ma, who works for Shenyang Blower Works Group Corp, a State-owned enterprise that makes products like compressors, blowers and pumps.

Ma's conversation with the Party's leader came in August 2013, when Xi visited the manufacturing hub of Tiexi, in Liaoning province, and talked with workers and senior executives from Ma's company as well as Shenyang Machine Tool Co Ltd and Shenyang Yuanda Enterprise Group.
