Molding ideals - Books Xi read as a child
While meeting with representatives to the first National Conference of Model Families in December 2016, Xi talked about books he read as a child.
"When I was a child, my mother gave me a picture-story book series－The Legend of Yue Fei. One of its more than 10 volumes shows Yue Fei's mother tattooing four characters saying 'serve the country with the utmost loyalty' across his back," Xi said, adding that the story deeply impressed him.
"It’s been my lifelong aspiration to 'serve the country with the utmost loyalty',” Xi said.
