BEIJING - Senior Chinese leader He Guoqiang on Thursday met with the crew of a TV series that commemorates the life of a discipline inspection chief, urging officials across the country to devote themselves to uncorrupt, people-oriented work.

The 21-episode "Yuan Shan De Hong Ye" (Red Leaves on the Faraway Mountains), to be broadcast by the China Central Television, is a biography of Wang Ying, who worked in Nanjiang County in southwestern Sichuan Province.

Wang was widely known as a devoted Communist Party of China (CPC)official with a just, caring and uncorrupt work style. She died in November 2008 at the age of 47.

"A large number of outstanding Party officials and cadres have emerged across the country. Comrade Wang Yi is one representative from the discipline inspection field," said He, a member of the Political Bureau Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee, when meeting with the crew before the drama's premiere ceremony.

"To present Wang's story in an artistic way is to educate and promote all Party members and officials and the general public to learn from her spirit," said He, also head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC.

He urged Party members and officials, especially those in discipline inspection departments, to learn from Wang's loyalty to the Party and the country, her valiant fight against corruption and her love and care for people.
