Just finished reading a 17-page story of Xi. Here are some interesting facts about him. 🧵

At 15, #XiJinping left Beijing for a village called Liangjiahe, spending 7 years in the countryside, working and living alongside farmers. Image He carried with him a small sewing bag embroidered with Chinese characters "mom's heart" by his mother Qi Xin.

Xi recalled his earnest wish then was "to make it possible for the villagers to have meat and have it often." Image
