Hu Jintao was seated in a noticeable position at the front table in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing,

Hu Jintao was seated directly next to Xi Jinping, the current leader. Later staff member approached him.

Hu Jintao while seated, seemed to talk momentarily with the male staff member at the ceremony of the Communist Party Congress.

Li Zhanshu, the third most senior leader of China, was seated on the opposite side of Hu Jintao at the ceremony.

[{"selector":"#anim-75b9537d-9fc6-422d-bb07-91496aad9d25","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2c2bbf09-9b7a-4f83-9cc0-4fb100b4fd86","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 147.50958%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image: Roberto Stuckert Filho/PR/Roman Kubanskiy

Hu Jintao seemed to rise after being lifted up by the staff members, who had taken him by the arm at the ceremony.

[{"selector":"#anim-2f329805-ad8d-4f15-ba3f-a58743188fa9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2a830db1-e728-447f-938f-e59133a80b5f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 135.87165%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image: Roberto Stuckert Filho/PR/Roman Kubanskiy

The Head of the party's secretariat Kong Shaoxun came over and talked with 2 staff members briefly and initially seemed hesitant to leave.

[{"selector":"#anim-5ed7efdf-1c6f-4f78-8bdc-338a13ec35d9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bad40b35-9643-4f8a-8cf3-87d0cab98b4f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 128.65496%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image: Roberto Stuckert Filho/PR/Roman Kubanskiy

Hu Jintao was then escorted by the 2 staff members from his seat holding his arm while other party members looked on.

[{"selector":"#anim-65f3b919-f6ef-4485-9b5e-9b0d4dfe7b27","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-395c6871-2455-4007-8b64-e2365839d2a2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 134.14751%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image: Roberto Stuckert Filho/PR/Roman Kubanskiy

On out, Hu supposedly paused and seemed to express something to Xi and afterward tapped Premier Li Keqiang on the shoulder.

[{"selector":"#anim-2fdded08-1d63-4e85-842e-d945f99e1131","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a88c6b0b-9467-486f-8065-d4c962957936","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 119.80995%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image: Roberto Stuckert Filho/PR/Roman Kubanskiy

At a certain point, while Hu Jintao was still seated, Xi seemed to put his hand over a document. The reason is still unknown.
