Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday visited two villages during an inspection trip to the city of Dezhou, east China's Shandong Province, where he learned about summer farming operations and local efforts to advance rural revitalization.
Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, visited Dongyujia Village during the busy summer planting season.
He received a briefing on local summer agricultural production regarding harvest, planting, and field management, and learned about the local wheat harvest, corn planting and agricultural supply services.
Xi also walked into a farmland and had cordial exchanges with grain growers, farming machinery operators and agricultural technicians.
Xi later visited neighboring Xiyujia Village, a village recognized nationally for promoting cultural and ethical progress.
There, Xi inquired in detail about improving local Party organizations and about the delivery of public services. He also viewed a display of local agricultural and sideline products.
In recent years, the two villages and nearby Guozhuang Village have jointly explored a coordinated approach to advance rural revitalization.
The three villages have promoted integrated development in Party building, industrial growth, public services and grassroots governance.
In 2025 alone, their combined collective income reached 3.45 million yuan (about 508,000 U.S. dollars), while villagers' per capita net income stood at 40,000 yuan.
