When visiting residential communities, schools and families, Shen talked with local women, teachers, parents, women volunteers and staff members from women's federations at the grassroots level. Shen learned about their sense of fulfillment, happiness and security brought by the improvement of their daily lives and their access to healthcare, education and other public services.

Noting the importance of carrying out publicity and education activities for women to greet the convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Shen stressed organizing women role models from all walks of life to share their stories and hard work at their posts, encouraging ordinary women to talk about their happy lives, and rallying women closely around the Party.

Shen urged giving full play to women's unique role in protecting their families and themselves from the epidemic and in epidemic containment in their communities, contributing their strength to coordinating epidemic prevention and control with economic and social development.

Efforts should be made to strengthen the building of family, family education and family traditions, advance the implementation of core socialist values, help millions of families cultivate positive family values in the new era, promote the healthy growth and all-around development of children, as well as pay attention to and care for ordinary women, especially women and children in need.
