Lou Qinjian, secretary of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee, greeted some veteran Party members during a recent inspection tour in Yancheng city as the province is gearing up for the centenary celebration of the Communist Party of China.
90-year-old Xu Changying joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1947. During the War of Liberation, she led women to support the frontline. After the founding of New China, she devoted herself to rural construction.
Lou remarked that awarding commemorative medals to Communist Party of China members bearing five decades of party membership and one-time living allowance to the veteran party members in the rural areas reflects the political care and respect for the veterans from the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core.
Noting that the CPC is celebrating its centenary this year, Lou Qinjian said that we must not forget the contributions made by veteran party members to the cause of the party and the country.
Yang Shourong,a 71-year-old veteran party member with 51-year party standing, has been named an excellent party member many times. In the past few years, he was unable to take care of himself due to illness and needs to be taken care of all the year round.
The CPC provincial chief greeted Yang Shourong and awarded him the commemorative medal and the one-time living allowance. He urged the local officials to take care of the veteran party members who are in difficulties and do their best to improve their lives so that they can fully feel the warmth from the party.
When visiting Wuxing village of Tinghu district, Lou Qinjian hailed the efforts and achievements made by the villagers in the past 20 years under the leadership of Sun Weiya, who was appointed the village’s Party branch chief in 1999.
Sun led the villagers to boost economic development and turned the village into a role model in Yancheng.
The villagers, who are numbered in more than 2800, reported an average per capita income of 45000 yuan last year.
After visiting the village’s traditional virtue gallery, library and volunteers’ center, Lou Qinjian commended Sun Weiya for his commitment and devotion to improving the villagers’ well-being.
The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee hoped that Sun Weiya will continue to work hard to lead more people to achieve common prosperity on the new journey of modernization.
Lou Qinjian also asked local officials to bring into full play the active role of the veteran party members in the party history learning and education campaign from the political height of strengthening the four consciousnesses and the four self-confidences, safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee and getting united around the centralized and unified leadership the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core.
