President stresses better life for farmers

President Xi Jinping visited an exhibition on Wednesday in Shenzhen on Guangdong's 40 years of reform and opening-up, the third stop of his ongoing inspection tour in the province. It was the second time in six years that Xi has visited the city, a onetime small fishing village that turned into the frontier for China's reform and opening-up campaign.

Xi chose Shenzhen as his first stop outside Beijing after his election as general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee in 2012.

On Tuesday, Xi visited an e-commerce industrial park in the city of Yingde, part of Qingyuan in central Guangdong, after attending the ceremony that opened the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in Zhuhai.
