Xi calls for further reform and opening up to drive Chinese modernization in Guangdong

When Xi was leaving, the villagers hailed aloud "Hello, General Secretary" and "Thank you, General Secretary." Xi said cordially to them, "This is my first visit to western Guangdong, and I am very pleased to see that the villagers are living a prosperous life through the development of lychee and other distinctive planting industries. We must advance rural revitalization across the board and address unbalanced development between urban and rural areas to advance Chinese modernization. We must remain committed to pursuing prosperity for all, increase assistance and support for those who are yet to get rich, foster social etiquette and civility among rural residents, and strengthen efforts to improve rural living environment and protect the ecology, so that life for rural residents will get better one year after another."
