During an inspection tour in Guangdong’s Meizhou City, President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of preserving revolutionary traditions and boosting farmers' incomes through comprehensive rural revitalization.
Chinese President Xi Jinping recently concluded an inspection tour of Meizhou City in south China’s Guangdong Province, where he underscored the significance of preserving revolutionary traditions and advancing rural revitalization to improve the livelihoods of farmers.
Xi, who is also the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, began his tour on Friday (November 7), with a visit to the Ye Jianying Memorial Park in Meizhou, which honors Ye Jianying, a late Chinese Communist revolutionary leader and former Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. Ye was one of the Ten Marshals of the People’s Republic of China and is native to Meizhou.
Xi laid a flower basket at the statue of Ye and toured an exhibition dedicated to his revolutionary legacy. He also visited Ye’s former residence, where he highlighted that China’s modern-day achievements are rooted in the contributions of Mao Zedong and other earlier revolutionary leaders. Xi emphasized the importance of educating young people to carry forward the spirit of revolution.
"All of China’s great achievements today are built on the foundation laid by Mao Zedong and other older generation revolutionaries," Xi said. "We must educate officials and the public, especially the youth, to continue their work."
Following his visit to the memorial park, Xi turned his attention to rural revitalization in Xuan Cau District, where he visited a pomelo growing base. Xi was briefed on efforts to support old revolutionary base areas and promote comprehensive rural development. He observed the growth of pomelo fruits, a key agricultural product, and reviewed processed products and cultural-creative goods derived from the fruit.
Xi also met with farmers and agricultural technicians, emphasizing the need for stronger applications of science and technology in rural industries. He highlighted the integration of agriculture with culture and tourism, along with extending industrial chains to increase the value-added production of local products.
"Developing rural specialty industries is fundamental to promoting comprehensive rural revitalization," Xi said, stressing the importance of helping farmers increase their incomes through diversified and high-value products.
The President also called on local Party committees and governments to enhance policy support for the development of rural areas, particularly those in old revolutionary base regions, which face unique economic challenges.
Before leaving, Xi wished the villagers happiness and prosperity, offering a final message of goodwill for their future.
Xi’s visit reflects the CPC’s continued commitment to rural revitalization and the preservation of revolutionary history, with a focus on supporting local economies and improving the livelihoods of farmers through modernized agricultural practices.
