XI Jinping, leader of China's ruling Communist Party, vowed: "No stop in reform, and no stop in opening up," during his trip to south China's Guangdong Province from December 7 to yesterday.
Xi called on the entire Party and people from all ethnic groups to adhere to the path of reform and opening up and put greater focus on pursuing reform in a more systematic, whole and coordinated way.
Xi said he chose Guangdong, which served as the testing grounds for reform and opening up policies more than 30 years ago, as the destination of his inspection tour because he wanted to "conduct an on-site retrospective of the history of reform and opening up and declare the resolve to continue to push forward the policy."
On the morning of December 8, Xi laid a basket of flowers in front of the statue of late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in Lianhuashan Park in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
"We came here to revere the statue of Deng Xiaoping to show that we'll unswervingly push forward reform and opening up and strive to achieve new progress, new breakthroughs and new steps in boosting reform and opening up and the country's modernization drive," he said.
Xi planted a fig tree before leaving the park.
Xi hailed reform and opening up as "the source of vitality" in the development of modern China, as well as "a magic tool" for the Party and the Chinese people to use to keep pace with the times.
He described reform and opening up as a "win-or-lose movement" for deciding China's fate and determining whether the country will achieve the goals meant to be achieved by 2021 and 2049, the years marking the centennial anniversaries of the founding of the Party and the People's Republic of China, respectively.
During his tour, Xi visited villages, urban communities, military troops and research institutions in several cities.
Xi's visit followed a new policy to reject extravagance and reduce bureaucratic visits.
Shenzhen police said no road was sealed during Xi's stay in the city.
"Xi was traveling along with public transport, private cars and taxis, which marks the first senior official visit without issuing traffic controls," said an entry on the official microblog of the city's traffic authority.
"Lu Yaming" shared his encounter with Xi's motorcade on Weibo.com, saying Xi's minibus had transparent glass and no curtains.
"It was traveling at about 60kph with only one escort vehicle when it passed by," Lu said.
"The style has indeed changed."
Many other netizens also welcomed the change and invited Xi to return to Shenzhen on a regular basis.
During Xi's visit to Lianhuashan Park, one man said he had photographed Xi with his phone.
"It's rare that police did not ask ordinary people to leave and it means that Xi wants to talk to us," he said.
