CPC's Birthday Widely Celebrated

A wide range of celebration activities were held nationwide yesterday to mark the 81st anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

The People's Daily, the CPC's official newspaper based in the Chinese capital of Beijing, carried a special editorial yesterday hailing the CPC's 81st anniversary and calling on 64 million Party members to study assiduously Party General Secretary Jiang Zemin's instructions on Party-building, and to work still harder to carry out the on-going reforms and open the country still wider to the outside world.

The editorial is titled Greeting 16th Party Congress with new achievements in implementing the 'three represents', under which the CPC must always represent the development trend of China's advanced productive forces, the orientation of China's advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in the country.

In Qingdao, an exotic port city in East China's Shandong province, 370,000 Party members on Saturday plunged themselves into community matters in the service of local urbanites, including cleaning untidy gardens, moving away trash and garbage, sweeping roads, removing disorderly and illegal advertisements, paying visits to the ill and needy elderly and handicapped children and showing them meticulous care, and holding voluntary health checkups for locals.

Moreover, people from all walks of life from Southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region staged a special cultural show in Lhasa, the regional capital, on Friday evening to praise and thank the CPC for the tremendous changes it has helped bring to the life of local Tibetan people.
