So many high-ranking leaders and officials surged into Tianxingqiao Village, bringing a festive hustle and bustle to the entire village as if it were New Year's.
In the village, from 1,232 households, totaling 6,375 people, everyone who was not working or studying abroad, regardless of gender or age, was practically mobilized.
President Qiao was now accompanied by the old Party Secretary of Tianxingqiao Village, and even Nie Zhenbang found himself walking behind. This was perfectly normal. During inspection visits, it's common for local leaders to stand beside the visiting dignitary, regardless of rank or position.
President Qiao was very attentive and serious, with a trace of a restrained smile. The entourage halted their progress near the village headquarters.
Upon learning of the General Secretary's visit, the villagers of Tianxingqiao were thrilled. They had already lit a bonfire at the village headquarters.
