Chaliya, I will quote you the text from the National Immigration Administration of China that oversees all the immigration and transit subjects as far as the mainland China is concerned. Here is the original text from their website: "In line with global norms, China has implemented a 24-hour visa-free transit policy for foreign nationals from all other countries around the world at all its accessible exit-entry ports. Foreign nationals holding valid international travel documents and connecting tickets with confirmed seats, who intend to transit via China by international flights, ships, or trains to third countries or regions, are exempt from visa applications, provided that their stay periods in China will not exceed 24 hours and that they will remain within the corresponding ports. Those who plan to leave the ports must apply for temporary entry permits at the exit-entry border inspection authorities of the corresponding ports." The essence is the detail where it it is written: "...for foreign nationals from all other countries around the world...". This means the citizens of Laos included. You can see the text by yourself at the official website of NIA at (please, copy and paste the link): https://en.nia.gov.cn/n147418/n147463/c156086/content.html . When you are about to perform your check-in in Russia, you will declare that you are traveling to Laos via China using 24 hour visa free transit scheme. They will check it in the Timatic and after a short check, you will be handed your boarding passes. Upon landing in Xi'an, the first thing you will do is to approach 24/249 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit because your next flight will be a domestic one by presenting your boarding passes. When you are granted a permit, you will head to the immigration and then to the gate for your flight to Kunming. You do not need a visa 100% and I wish you a pleasant journey.
