Xi Jinping's 'I am the people's servant' revisited in state media feature

总书记治国理政故事|“我是人民的勤务员”

A Xinhua News Agency feature, republished by NetEase, recounts a 2013 moment when Xi Jinping introduced himself as 'the people's servant' during a visit to Shibadong village in Hunan. The piece links this remark to the launch of the 'targeted poverty alleviation' policy and frames it as a defining commitment to public service.
