Hu Jintao, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), has called on all Chinese people to be united and work hard to turn the country's blueprint into reality.

Hu made the remarks during a recent inspection tour of Xibaipo, an old revolutionary base in north China's Hebei Province.

Together with members of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, the tour is aimed at reviewing the history of revolutionary struggle carried out by the Chinese people under the leadership of the CPC, Hu said.

In march 1949, the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh CPC Central Committee was held in Xibaipo. In the Party history, the meeting had a strategic significance at the dawn of the liberation, the CPC needed to seize the momentum and adjust its policies. How to lead the nation to the economic development became its main task.

Then leader Mao Zedong asked all party members to be modest, prudent and self-disciplined.

After reviewing Mao Zedong's speech, Hu Jintao said that the 16th CPC National Congress, which was held last month, raised the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, which requires all party members and ethnic groups to work hard and unite as one.

"We have every reason to be proud of the achievements in the reform and modernization drive over the past 20 years, especially since the Fourth Plenary Meeting of the 13th CPC Central Committee," he said. "However, we should not be self-complacent and stagnant."

"What we have achieved is only a step, though a substantial one, on the long march. To attain the goal of building a more affluent society set by the 16th National Congress of the CPC, we still face many arduous tasks, difficulties and challenges. Consequently, we must always be modest and work hard," Hu said.

In the new historic condition, whether or not to keep on working hard and withstand the temptations of power, money and beauty is a test to every Communist, especially to the leading officials, he said.

Hu expressed the hope that all Party members should bear in mind the basic national situation and the Party's sacred mission, the Party's purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, the Party's basic theory, line and program and the historic responsibility entrusted to the Party.

He stressed that all party members, particularly the cadres, must remember their mission of wholeheartedly serving the people, and struggle for the welfare of the greatest number of people.

He asked cadres at various levels to expand work at the grass- root level, to listen to and take care of the people and to lead them in building happy lives.

In his speech, the general secretary said that President Jiang Zemin's "Three Represents" thought is vital for the CPC's development. It is a guideline to build a sound Society.

He also stressed that though China has made significant economic development in the past decades, officials should not feel conceited or arrogant. He pointed out that China is still a developing country, there is a long path to the modernization, and the burdens are heavy and the tasks piled high.

Hu Jintao urged Party officials to meet the economic challenges ahead brought on by the fierce global competition. The CPC should continue to share people's joys and sorrows.

He urged local officials to understand people's difficulties, care about them and do more for them. The Party members should always remember that their vital purpose is to serve the people.
