November in Longxi had gradually become cold, and several snowfalls had already occurred. Nie Zhenbang's return to Longxi was quiet and unceremonious. No special reception was arranged. The entire process was conducted silently and without fanfare.
This was also in line with the central government's call and President Qiao's spirit. After President Qiao took office, he had made it clear that even during state visits, in public occasions, any pomp and ceremony regarding welcomes and send-offs were strictly prohibited.
Where necessary, they would generally use a military airport for departures, just like it was this time at South Suburban Airport. Even so, the send-off was strictly controlled. This pragmatic work attitude and style naturally influenced the entire grass-roots level.
