When I saw President Xi Jinping walking into the Baozi Shop to eat, I really felt that China's new leaders were working hard to change their style and reflect a new people-friendly image. You queue up by yourself, pay the bill by yourself, serve your food and sit down by yourself, without the large number of security personnel and photographers crowding around you. This reminds me of the scene in the 1950s and 1960s when Premier Zhou Enlai went to a restaurant to have a meal with the people. In fact, this is the most ordinary thing. They are all ordinary people, and they were raised by their parents. Xi Jinping went to the people to drink, which shows that he has not forgotten the days when he ate steamed buns with the farmers in the rural areas of northern Shaanxi. Since ancient times in China, there have been precedents of Kangxi’s private visit in disguise and Qianlong’s visit to the south of the Yangtze River for private activities. These are stories of prosperous times in history and are very popular among the people.
Qingfeng Baozi Shop is a long-established store in Beijing. People who live in Beijing are familiar with this name. The old shop should be in the Xisi area, called Wanxingju. After the public-private partnership in 1956, it was renamed Qingfeng Baozi Shop. Because the price adapts to the living standards of ordinary people, it is very popular among the masses. Before the 1980s, wages in mainland China had not increased for more than 20 years, but prices were also stable. At that time, I went to Qingfeng for dinner. Four large dishes (much larger than what President Xi ate), a bowl of fried liver, and a side dish cost about one yuan. Five years ago, when I returned to Beijing, I discovered that there were many more Qingfeng steamed bun shops, and I realized that Qingfeng had become a chain of fast-food restaurants. It is a Chinese fast food restaurant that can compete with Beijing snack bars and Kentucky McDonald's. It has 183 chain stores. After walking through the door, the heat and fragrance that hit my face tempted me to walk into the bun shop again. The clean environment and good smiling service made people very comfortable. However, the set meal this time cost about 10 yuan. The chairman's set meal a few days ago was similar to what I had. He paid 21 yuan, which is not expensive, but it has increased 20 times compared to 30 years ago.
> After President Xi ate steamed buns, Qingfeng’s business suddenly became popular. Many people rushed to the steamed stuffed bun shop to buy the chairman's set meal, and even sat in the seat where President Xi Jinping once sat to have a drink to cheer up. This is Chinese people's preference. It is said that the store has preserved the tables and chairs used by Xi Jinping for exhibition. I don't think it's necessary. Will the taxi that President Xi took a few days ago also enter the museum? Doing so is tantamount to putting the chairman's pro-people actions back on a pedestal. China! When will your concept of monarch, minister and people be updated? There is still a long way to go to realize the civilianization of leading cadres.
