Stories of Xi Jinping

China's rural residents used to leave their homes to seek job opportunities in bigger, more developed cities. In recent years, the country has worked to eradicate absolute poverty and build a beautiful and harmonious countryside that is desirable to live and work in. These efforts have begun showing significant results as some rural regions now attract young people to settle down. This episode looks into some specific examples across the country.

Does the city you live in make you feel cared for?

The warmth of a city isn't measured by the number and size of skyscrapers gracing its skyline, but by the little details of everyday life that touch each of us: the community you live in, the hospital and school nearby, the parks you can visit, and even that bench downstairs where you can sit and rest when you're tired.

China's development goal is clear: Meeting the people's aspirations for a better life is the immutable goal of Chinese modernization.
