"I was so excited at the time that I forgot to do anything," the 64-year-old retired worker said on Thursday.
Xi, accompanied by Wang Yang, provincial Party chief, and Zhu Xiaodan, governor of Guangdong, arrived at the Donghaochong community at around 9:20 am and stayed for about 30 minutes, Luo said.
During the visit, Xi caressed the face of Luo's 9-month-old granddaughter and grasped her hands.
"Now my granddaughter has become a star in my community and among my relatives and friends," he said.
Guo Huanqiu, 80, said she was also excited and happy when Xi shook hands with her.
"Xi first said 'ni hao' in Cantonese to me and my neighbors when he came into the pavilion where we were doing morning exercises and chatting," Guo said.
Then Xi shook hands with them one by one, Guo recalled.
All of the elderly residents who met Xi said he is an amiable and easygoing person.
