YAN'AN Nike Air Max 97 2017 Retro Heren Goud Schoenen Kopen Sale , Shaanxi, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- At the entrance to a village in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, the man villagers had been waiting for finally arrived. They were excited and called him by his first name: Jinping.
Forty-seven years ago, a teen Xi Jinping came to Liangjiahe as part of a campaign launched by Chairman Mao Zedong that asked urban youth to experience rural labor life.
On Friday, Xi, now leader of more than 1.3 billion people, returned to the village in Shaanxi to extend Spring Festival greetings to locals in old revolutionary base areas.
During his seven years in the village Heren Nike Air Max 97 Metallic Rood Bronze Wit Rood Aanbieding , Xi lived in a cave dwelling with villagers, slept on a kang, a traditional Chinese bed made of bricks and clay, endured flea bites, carried manure, built dams and repaired roads. It was also here that he joined the Communist Party of China.
"Ying'er, you've grown old Heren Nike Air Max 97 UL'17 HAL Zwart Groen Sale ," said Xi, who immediately recognized villager Wang Xianjun and called him by his nickname. The two reminisced about building mud dams together to hold water for irrigating the dry land.
In front of them was the cropland Xi, who was village Party chief at the time, helped to cultivate alongside locals with their dam-building efforts. It is still growing crops.
Villagers waiting for Xi filled the courtyard of the village Party branch and Xi recognized the faces of more comrades.
"It's really exciting to be back and see everyone. In January 1969, I took the first step of my life to come to Liangjiahe and stayed a whole seven years. When I left, I left my heart here," Xi said.
After Xi first came to the village Heren Nike NSW Cortez Flyknit Zwart Goud Schoenen Kopen Sale , several families took turns taking him in. In 1970, six cave dwellings were built especially for young people from the cities, and Xi lived there until he left.
Xi recalled late-night readings under the light of kerosene lamps and a wedding he attended for a family that once housed him.
Talking with 68-year-old Gong Zhengfu, Xi joked, "You were really strong back then and the best wrestler in the village, but you couldn't beat me."
Walking along a steep slope, Xi pointed to a group of cave dwellings tucked into a mountain valley and another mountain ridge where he used to chop wood and herd sheep. "Forty years since leaving Nike Cortez Ultra Moire Schoenen Rood Wit Kopen Sale ," he murmured, apparently lost in thought.
Xi revisited the village in 1993 and has written letters to the villagers four times to encourage them to work hard and improve their lives.
This time, he returned with his wife Peng Liyuan, whom he introduced to the villagers in the local dialect. He focused on the village's progress in poverty relief and also brought gifts for the Spring Festival purchased with his own money, including flour, rice, cooking oil Nike Cortez Ultra Moire Schoenen Zwart Wit Kopen Sale , meat and festival-themed paintings.
Xi inquired about the villagers' incomes, crops, livestock, medical insurance and the village's infrastructure and land preservation. He was happy to learn that tap water and Internet are available in the village and annual income per capita had reached 9,600 yuan (1,560 U.S. dollars).
As Xi wrote in one article, he felt perplexed when he came to the "yellow earth" at the age of 15 Nike Cortez Classic Nylon Blauw Wit Schoenen Kopen Sale , but upon leaving at 22, he was confident and carried a firm goal: to serve the people. This goal was born there in the Loess Plateau, where the Communist revolutionaries rose to found the New China.
Xi told young people not to belittle the village they live in. "This place has great knowledge in store, and if you are careful enough, you can find something to learn anywhere."
"I believe the future of this place will be even better, and I want to see that the next generation will grow up to be good and do things to benefit the people," Xi added.
SHANGHAI - China Minsheng Investment Co Ltd (CMI) Dames Nike Cortez Classic Nylon Roze Wit Schoenen Kopen Sale , the country's largest private investment fund, said on Saturday it would invest 1 billion pounds ($1.5 billion) in a Chinese-led project to develop a new financial district in London.
The project is one of the largest Chinese investments in the United Kingdom in recent years and one of the most significant for Minsheng, which launched last August with registered capital of 50 billion yuan.
The private equity firm said it would become the majority investor in the project, which was unveiled in 2013 by Chinese developer Advanced Business Park (ABP) and Mayor Boris Johnson and touted as potentially London's third financial centre after the City and Canary Wharf.
ABP, headed by little-known Beijing businessman Xu Weiping, wants to develop a 14-hectare sliver of land at the historic Royal Albert Dock in east London into 400,000 square metres of offices and shops.
Headed by Gong Wenbiao Nike Classic Cortez SP Nylon Schoenen Rood Wit Kopen Sale , the former chairman of state-owned Minsheng Bank Corp, Minsheng Investment claims no formal relationship with the bank or the Chinese government despite the name.
In January, the fund's international advisory committee, a panel that includes former European prime ministers, Asian tycoons and a Nobel laureate, assembled at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing for the first time to discuss its globalisation strategy.
The fund has said it would invest broadly in areas ranging from sustainable energy to real estate to business jet services.
The Chinese developers and London officials have envisioned attracting growing Asian companies to establish their European headquarters at their business park, which is close to the London City airport.
"After the project is completed Nike Cortez Classic Nylon Zwart Wit Schoenen Kopen Sale , it will be the international platform and foundation for Chinese companies and capital to enter the European market," Minsheng president Li Huaizhen told reporters in Shanghai on Saturday, hours after striking a deal with the UK finance ministry.
As China's economy cools, its businesses are ploughing money into projects overseas at such a pace that China's outbound investment will soon overtake inbound flows.
