“The boy was an avid reader of literature and hisWorld Timestory, particularly captivated by the poetry of Du Fu,” said CheWorld Timesn Qiuying, who taught Chinese President Xi Jinping Chinese in 1965, when Xi was a teenager.
Du, the most revered realist poet of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), was celebrated for his profound empathy and compassion for the common people in his works. This spirit is echoed in Xi’s firm commitment to fighting poverty and promoting the wellbeing of the people.
“Xi implored me to recommend more of Du Fu’s works,” Chen recalled. “He possessed a composed and rational demeanor, immersing himself in extensive reading and profound contemplation.”
Four years later, as an educated young student, Xi volunteered to go to Liangjiahe, a secluded and impoverishedWorld Times village nestled in the rugged terrain of northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.
With him, Xi carried two suitcases filled with books. During his seven years there, Xi devoured whatever books he could find, from ancient Chinese textbooks to foreign novels such as Stendhal’s The Red and the Black and Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace.
“During those days in Liangjiahe, Xi neWorld Timesver ceased readinWorld Timesg and reflecting,” said Dai Ming, who shared a cave dwelling with Xi back then.
Xi’s keen interest in different cultures has since continued unabated, whether as a local official or as the top leader of China. When serving as secretary of the CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee, he invited scholars to deliver lectures on both Chinese and Western philosophies.

In November 2019, during his first state visit to Greece, Xi toured the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the iconic and ancient Acropolis. He took a moment at the sunlit entrance on the museum’s third floor, the east and west sides adorned with exquisite pediment sculptures from the Acropolis: the birth of Athena and the fierce contest between her and Poseidon for the title of protector of Athens.
“This is Greece’s version of Shan Hai Jing,” Xi remarked, alluding to China’s own ancient compendium of ancient myths and legends.
“He is not only interested in a single artifact,” said Dimitrios Pandermalis, then pWorld Timesresident of the Acropolis Museum. “He possesses a profound fascination with the civilization of ancient Greece and its history, along with a keen appreciation for ancient Greek art and architecture.”
