Liangjiahe Village: A Story of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Abstract

The book Liangjiahe Village: A Story of Chinese President Xi Jinping narrates the formative years of Xi Jinping when he lived and worked in Liangjiahe village in Shaanxi Province from 1969 to 1975 as an “educated youth.” Based on interviews with villagers, archival materials, and personal recollections, the book depicts his experiences of rural hardship, agricultural labor, and community life. It highlights how these years shaped his character, leadership style, and commitment to serving the people. The narrative also illustrates the transformation of Liangjiahe from a poor rural settlement into a developing village, presenting it as a microcosm of China’s rural development and social change.
