Xi visits low-income families
Print Edition
AMID warm greetings and laughter, President Xi Jinping yesterday surprised ordinary citizens of Macau who live at a government-funded public housing estate.
Shortly after arriving in the city, Xi visited the Seac Pai Van public housing estate on Macau’s Coloane Island — the region’s largest public housing project for low-income families — where he chatted with residents.
The president, who is attending celebrations for the 15th anniversary of Macau’s return to the motherland and the inauguration of a new government of the region, was warmly greeted by Tam Yuk Ngor and her family, who moved in the neighborhood eight months ago.
Asking Tam about the family’s income and working conditions, Xi showed special interest to their feeling about the improvement of living conditions.
“How much do you spend on housing? What do you do for living?” he asked.
The mother of three said she works for a construction material company and her husband is a construction worker.
“All our kids are at school. They are all working hard,” she said, adding that the family is very satisfied with their home.
Xi said he was impressed by the harmonious and loving family for their optimism and diligence for a better life.
“I feel happy for you. I hope you’ll work and study hard so you can make contribution to a better future of Macau and our motherland,” he said.
Learning about Xi’s visit, neighbors in Seac Pai Van came to greet the president. Xi shook hands with them and wished them a better life.
The Seac Pai Van public housing estate, launched in 2011, features 9,015 homes and had 12,000 residents by September.
Also yesterday afternoon, Chinese first lady Peng Liyuan visited a kindergarten under the Women’s General Association of Macau, with Fok Wai Fun, wife of Chief Executive Fernando Chui.
