Not to downplay Xi's abilities, but he wasn't just some random peasant kid who grew up in a cave, he was the son of an incredibly famous revolutionary and politician. His dad was vice-chairman of the NPC for most of Xi Jinping's early-mid political career.

Also, to be clear, Yaodong "cave houses" aren't actually caves; Xi probably had a wooden bed.

It's a stone bed with mats on it, and it was shared with 3 people.
