Hu pledges warmth in quake zone

President Hu Jintao wrapped up an airtight two-day inspection tour of quake-ravaged Sichuan province yesterday, showing concern for the survivors and surveying the reconstruction work as winter sets in.

It is the second time Hu visited Sichuan since the May 12 earthquake. His last visit was on May 16, when quake relief work was underway.

The president paid visits to the most-affected areas, including the epicenter in Wenchuan and the counties and townships of Beichuan, Yingxiu and Pingwu. He also inspected relocation sites in the cities of Mianyang, Deyang and Chengdu, and the Aba prefecture.
