“I hope you are all doing okay.”Xi Jinping trekked through the bitter cold and snow to deliver warm greetings to the residents of Luotuowan Village on December 30,2012,a little over a month after he became General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee.Nestled deep in the Taihang Mountains in northern China,Luotuowan is a poor village in Longquanguan Township,Fuping County,Hebei Province.Sitting at an altitude of 1,500 meters,its terrain is rugged,barren,and remote.In Luotuowan in 2012,the annual per-capita disposable income was just 950 yuan.What General Secretary Xi discovered here was sheer destitution that filled him with worry for all of those who had yet to shake off the yoke of poverty.
