Many Chinese leaders are fond of ancient Chinese literature. Xi Jinping, who was b    in June 1953 in Beijing, was a graduate of Tsinghua University and j   the CPC in January 1974. When Xi Jinping was elected (选举) China’s president at the National People’s Congress in March last year, he talked about some of his ideas on h   to run a government. When he spoke, many Chinese people were pleasantly s     to find that Xi Jinping has good knowledge of Laozi and Daois. “Running a large country is like frying a small fish(治大国如烹小鲜),” he said at the meeting. It’s a quote from Tao Te Ching(《道德经》)，a book w    by Laozi over 1,200 years ago.
In fact, it was not the f    time Xi had quoted Laozi. Xi often referred to (参照) the beliefs of this great thinker when he worked a  a provincial governor(省长). 
Xi Jinping is not the o  leader who is interested in Laozi. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said in an i  with XinHua News Agency in October 2013, “He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is might(胜人者有力，自胜者强). It was true 2,000 years ago, and it is s  true in the 21^st century.”
