Hu admires Deng's life-long fight for people's welfare

Chinese President Hu Jintao Sunday spoke highly of late leader Deng Xiaoping for his deep love of the Chinese people and devotion to their welfare.

Deng had always cared about the people and put people's interests above everything, Hu, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said at a grand gathering to commemorate Deng's birth centenary.

"In his whole life Comrade Deng Xiaoping had kept his words -- To spare no efforts to do things that are good to the people," said the President.

Hu urged Party officials to remember Deng's statement that any party organization will fail and be abandoned by the people if it is indifferent to the people and takes no account of their interests; and the ultimate goal to stick to the road of socialism is to realize the common prosperity of all people.

All this shows the world outlook and outlook on life and values of Deng, a true Communist, said Hu.
