When it comes to hobbies, I personally enjoy reading, watching movies, traveling, and walking. You know, taking on a job like mine, basically not having your own time. During this year's Spring Festival, there is a song in China called "Where Has Time Gone". For me, the question is where does my personal time go? Of course, it's all taken up by work. Now, what I can often do is read books, and reading has become a way of life for me. Reading can keep people's minds alive, let people be inspired by wisdom, and let people nourish the spirit of Haoran. For example, I have read many works by Russian writers, such as Krylov, Pushkin, Gogol, Lermontov, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, Nekrasov, Chernyshevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Sholokhov, and I remember many wonderful chapters and plots in their books very well.

When it comes to physical activities, I like swimming, climbing, etc., and I learned swimming at the age of four or five. I also enjoy sports like football, volleyball, basketball, tennis, martial arts, etc. In ice and snow, I love ice hockey, speed skating, figure skating, and snow tricks. Ice hockey, in particular, is a great sport that requires not only individual strength and skill, but also teamwork and cooperation.

"Where has the time gone, I have not felt young and old, giving birth to children and raising daughters for a lifetime, and my mind is full of children crying and laughing......" The 2014 Spring Festival Gala made "Where Has Time Go" that sang about parents' affection became popular. In February 2014, Xi Jinping mentioned the song in an exclusive interview with Russian television, which sparked a national discussion on the topic of "where has the time gone".

Where has Xi Jinping's time gone? As he himself said, most of his time is taken up by work. According to incomplete statistics, in 2015 alone, Xi Jinping attended at least 61 meetings, including 14 meetings of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, 11 meetings of the deep reorganization, 10 work meetings, 3 meetings of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, and 23 other important meetings. At the same time, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee also conducted 9 collective study sessions, and Xi Jinping also carried out 8 foreign visits.

Most of his spare time is spent by Xi Jinping reading. Brilev, a Russian television host who interviewed Xi in Sochi, said he was "particularly fond of" Xi's eyes, "from which he saw the light of thought." If we trace the origin of the "light of thought", books must be one of them. In Xi Jinping's eyes, reading is a way of life, "whenever I have time, I will pick up a book and flip through it, and every time I feel that it is beneficial to open the book", "like a treasure, once you explore it, you will be useful for life".

A week after taking office, Xi Jinping made his first foreign trip to Russia and three African countries. Considering that the itinerary is too dense and there is no time to rest, the Chinese embassy in Russia wants to compress the time for some activities, "but President Xi Jinping does not discount it at all." "I am not painful and happy, but tired and happy", this is Xi Jinping, racing against time to work hard for the country and the people, and work hard for the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation.

Xi Jinping's "personal story" of where time has gone, is an encouragement to the majority of party members and cadres, inspiring everyone to spare no effort to fulfill their duties, but also to make full use of their spare time to study and recharge. Our country has always paid attention to self-cultivation in reading and political morality. In traditional culture, reading, self-cultivation, and morality are not only the foundation of life, but also the foundation of politics. As Xi Jinping once profoundly pointed out, "the personality strength of leading cadres is becoming more and more important for doing a good job in leadership, and the most important way to form personality strength is to study and study."
