Xinhua News Agency, Tianjin, February 2. As the Spring Festival, the traditional festival of the Chinese nation, is approaching, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, came to Tianjin to visit and express condolences to grassroots cadres and the masses, and to express his condolences to people of all ethnic groups across the country, compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao. Happy New Year to our compatriots, compatriots in Taiwan, and overseas Chinese! I wish all Chinese people at home and abroad good health, family happiness, all the best, and good luck in the Year of the Dragon! I wish our great motherland good weather, peace and prosperity!

On the morning of the 1st, Xi Jinping got off the train and came to Liubu Village, Xinkou Town, Xiqing District. At the end of July and early August last year, extreme rainfall in North China caused severe floods in the Haihe River Basin, and large areas of land in the Dongdian flood storage and detention area of Tianjin were inundated. Xi Jinping listened to an on-site briefing on the disaster situation in Tianjin and Xiqing District, walked into greenhouses to observe the growth of vegetables, and asked vegetable farmers in detail about greenhouse repairs, vegetable replanting, and sales. He expressed his affirmation of the local initiative in organizing production for self-rescue, seizing the opportunity to "retreat when the water recedes and people are advancing", and being able to plant all kinds of crops without relying on initiative, and thanked the villagers for their hard work and contribution to enriching the urban "vegetable basket".
Xi Jinping walked into the home of Du Honggang, a villager who has four generations living under the same roof. The same family members conducted daily household chores and calculated the disaster losses and post-disaster production development and employment gains one by one. Du Honggang told the General Secretary that the floods affected more than 10 acres of corn and vegetables at home. With the help of the party and the government, they quickly overcome the difficulties, especially the vegetable greenhouses that were repaired quickly and the harvest of seasonal vegetables was good. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. The family has all the New Year’s goods and some cultural activities have been arranged in the village. The villagers are very happy. Xi Jinping said that only when the country is peaceful and the people are safe can the country be peaceful. The Party Central Committee, party committees and governments at all levels are always thinking about everyone's safety and security, and hope that the villagers will rely on their own hands to rebuild a beautiful home and create a happy life.
When leaving the village, the villagers gathered around to say hello to the General Secretary. Xi Jinping waved to everyone frequently and said cordially to the villagers that he was very happy to see that everyone's production and life have basically resumed and a warm winter is guaranteed. Since last year, some other parts of our country have also suffered from natural disasters such as floods, typhoons, earthquakes, landslides, low-temperature rain, snow and ice, and I have been paying close attention to them. Party committees and governments at all levels adhere to the people-centered approach, and the broad masses of cadres and the masses unite and work together to achieve major victories in disaster relief. The Spring Festival is approaching. On behalf of the Party Central Committee, I would like to extend my sincere condolences to all the victims of the disaster and the cadres and masses working on the front line of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction! Party committees and governments at all levels must further make their work more detailed and practical and arrange the production and life of the people in the disaster areas.
