Walking into a community medical service center for AIDS patients in Funan County, the premier shook hands with patients and asked each about their physical conditions.

"Optimism and perseverance is vital for a patient," he said. Wen particularly praised Cheng Xianyue, a local AIDS patient who donated 2,000 yuan ($256) after a massive earthquake struck southwestern Sichuan Prvovince in May.

The premier had visited AIDS patients and medical staff ahead of the World AIDS Day on December 1 or on festival occasions since he started his tenure in 2003.
