(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-01-28 10:07 Rural enterprises should use their role in the countryside and help more farmers increase their incomes, the president said. At the Kuaizixiang police station in the provincial capital of Nanchang, Hu said the station has been a model among the country's public security departments and the police officers won approval from the local people with their responsible and conscientious work.
Hu, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the visit in the company of Su Rong, secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the CPC, and Governor Wu Xinxiong. He also listened to work reports from provincial officials. Commending the economic and social achievements in the province, Hu urged local officials to share both happiness and woes with the people, enhance their awareness of responsibility with good work performance, show a pioneering spirit to overcome difficulties, and avoid illegal personal interests and temptations. New tradition On Lunar New Year's eve, Hu visited a famous revolutionary base at Jinggangshan, a city in Jiangxi Province, and Premier Wen Jiabao was on his seventh visit to the worst-hit areas in the May 12 earthquake.
Wen even cooked a dish of hui guo rou (sauted sliced pork with pepper) for a family of quake survivors living in a makeshift house in Yingxiu Town, the epicenter of the quake. Last year, Hu went to Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Wen visited Jiangxi Province. At that time, both regions were among those being hit by China's worst winter storm in five decades. Hu spent the previous festivals in Hubei, Guizhou, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, and Wen in Henan, Shandong and Liaoning provinces. Following suit, at least 14 provincial-level officials traveled across their regions to extend festival greetings to the public. Beijing's Party chief Liu Qi visited volunteers in one of the capital's 500 volunteer stations in Qianmen Street, which runs along the capital's north-south axis to the south of Tian'anmen Square. At a gathering with officers from the People's Liberation Army, the armed police, and public security officers stationed in Tibet, Qiangba Puncog, chairman of the government of Tibet Autonomous Region, thanked them for their efforts in maintaining stable and relatively fast economic development and social stability. Others, who joined the "new tradition" for the Spring Festival among high-ranking officials, visited construction sites, factories, police stations and colleges.
