"A big country is as big as a big country. A myriad of things are, in the final analysis, the business of thousands of families. "
From 2013 onwards, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader will come to the masses to talk about the family, ask about the temperature, listen to the people and send blessings.

Where the heart is, where the line is.
The footprint of the Spring Festival, a warm moment, vividly explains the ruling philosophy and initial heart of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, which takes the masses as the "priority", people’s livelihood as the "foundation" and people as the "priority".

It is snowy outside, dripping into ice, and it is as warm as spring in Xu Hai’s small living room.
In Xu Wanjia, a villager, the general secretary also walked into his kitchen, opened the lid and saw steaming steamed buns inside. In other people’s homes in the village, the general secretary should see how they eat and drink at home, whether the fire kang is warm or not, and look carefully and ask clearly from the granary and cowshed to the kitchen and bedroom.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader bent down, opened the mattress with concern and touched the quilt to see if it was thick enough. I looked up and saw the bacon hanging on the beams, and asked about the food and clothing at home.

February 3 to 5, 2021, Guizhou
Near the Spring Festival, the Heli Huimin Fresh Supermarket in Guanshanhu District of Guiyang City is decorated with lanterns and colorful shelves. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came here specially to inspect the market supply, new year’s goods supply and marketing, and price operation before the Spring Festival. He looked carefully all the way, asked in detail about the price, whether the new year’s goods were ready, and what difficulties were there during the New Year, and extended his best wishes to everyone.
Holiday supply has always been the "special concern" of General Secretary Supreme Leader’s Spring Festival inspection. Especially in 2021, under the background of the normalization of epidemic prevention and control and the promotion of local New Year, the consumer demand of residents increased, and the supply guarantee of "vegetable basket", "rice bag" and "fruit plate" on the shelves was not only related to the concentration of annual flavor, but also related to the stability of people’s hearts.
A farmer connected to the fields and a citizen connected to thousands of families. Visiting supermarkets and investigating market supply are vivid footnotes of the people’s livelihood concerns of the Supreme Leader General Secretary.
I will read the worries of the people; I will do what the people expect.
"Whether it can really benefit the masses depends on the reputation of the people." The general secretary’s words are simple and warm.
