Beijing hosted a significant symposium on March 4, 2026, focusing on the second volume of publications documenting General Secretary Xi Jinping’s interactions with citizens during domestic inspection tours. The event brought together government officials, women’s federation representatives, and family delegates to examine the content and implications of these documented engagements.
State Councilor Shen Yiqin, who also serves as President of the All-China Women’s Federation, delivered a keynote address emphasizing the importance of thoroughly studying the publication’s content. She urged women’s federations across all administrative levels to strengthen family values and traditions appropriate for the contemporary era. Shen specifically called for aligning these efforts with China’s 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), encouraging women and families to contribute meaningfully to national development goals.
The symposium featured participation from officials representing central government bodies and the All-China Women’s Federation, alongside grassroots women’s federation cadres and family representatives. This diverse attendance underscored the publication’s relevance across different levels of society and governance.
The book series chronicles Xi’s visits to ordinary households across China, capturing his dialogues with citizens and demonstrating leadership engagement at the community level. This second volume continues the narrative established in the first publication, providing additional insights into the governance approach of personal connection with the populace.
