作為一國元首，常在鏡頭前出現(xiàn)的習(xí)近平很少有機會展現(xiàn)他個人性情的一面。但當(dāng)他與多年未謀面的老友重聚時，或在繁忙的外事活動間隙里，人們看到了一個不一樣的習(xí)近平。

As the busy leader of a country of over 1.3 billion people, Chinese President Xi Jinping rarely has a chance to show his personal side to the public. But when revisiting old friends or taking a break from diplomatic tasks, he has revealed glimpses of his personality to the world. 

三十年的友誼，你看看

In 1985, the Dvorchaks hosted Xi during his visit to Iowa. Xi invited them to China 30 years later and hosted them at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

我過去，您別站起來了

Xi awarded medals to Russian veterans for their contributions to China’s victory against Japanese aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Many of the veterans attending the event had limited mobility, so Xi brought the medals over to them.

我也是了卻一個心愿

In 2001, Jim Bacon, then premier of Tasmania, met Xi in China and invited him to visit. In 2014, Xi kept his promise. Unfortunately, Bacon had passed away. Xi still paid a visit to Bacon’s family. 

我們兩人吃一塊就好

Once a farmer himself, Xi feels close to ordinary people. He paid a visit to a Costa Rican family in 2013.

和體育明星自拍

Xi’s a big fan of all kinds of sports. He paid a visit to the Manchester City Football Club and took a selfie with Cameron and Manchester City star Sergio Aguero.

要看千年的中國去西安，看五百年的中國去北京，看一百年的中國去上海

Xi’s popular among young people. He met some students at Lincoln High School in Washington State in 2015.
