Comrades and friends:

12 On May 28, 2008 14: 28, a devastating earthquake shocked the world in Wenchuan, Sichuan, causing great losses to people's lives, property and economic and social development in the affected areas. Resolutely overcoming this disaster, protecting people's lives and property, and defending the achievements of reform, opening up and socialist modernization are a severe test of the will, courage and strength of the people of China, and also a major test of our party's ruling ability and advanced nature. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission, the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups in China are united in their efforts to overcome difficulties and quickly launched a vigorous earthquake relief work, bravely winning a major victory in the earthquake relief struggle and writing an earth-shattering heroic victory chapter.

Today, we hold a grand national summary and commendation meeting for earthquake relief, which is to comprehensively summarize the earthquake relief work, commend the heroic collectives and models of earthquake relief, and call on the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to learn from their advanced ideas and exemplary deeds, carry forward the great spirit of earthquake relief, and make unremitting efforts to win new victories in building a well-off society in an all-round way and create a new situation in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Here, on behalf of the CPC Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission, I would like to pay high tribute to the commended heroic collectives and models of earthquake relief, to the broad masses of cadres and masses who fought in the front line of earthquake relief, to the officers and men of the People's Liberation Army, officers and men of the Armed Police Force, militia reservists and public security police, medical and health workers, journalists, scientific and technological workers, project builders and volunteers! I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the broad masses of cadres and people on all fronts in the country, to the democratic parties, federations of industry and commerce, personages without party affiliation, people's organizations and all walks of life, and to our compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese who are enthusiastic about helping the disaster areas!

During the earthquake relief period, leaders, governments, political parties, social organizations and embassies in China, relevant United Nations organizations and some international institutions, foreign-funded enterprises and international friendly people actively provided relief materials, donated relief funds, and sent rescue teams and medical teams to express sincere condolences and provide valuable support to the people of China in various ways. Here, on behalf of the government of China and the people of China, I would like to express my sincere thanks to them!

At this moment, we especially want to express our deep thoughts and deep condolences to the martyrs who died heroically to win the great victory in the earthquake relief struggle, and to the compatriots who died unfortunately in the earthquake disaster!

I propose that everyone stand up and observe a moment of silence for them.

Comrades and friends!

Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan is the most destructive, widespread and difficult earthquake to rescue since the founding of New China. The magnitude is 8 on the Richter scale, the maximum intensity is 1 1 degree, and there are more than 30,000 aftershocks, involving 4 17 in Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, Chongqing, etc. The total area of the disaster area is about 500,000 square kilometers, and there are more than 46.25 million people affected by the disaster, including the extremely hard-hit areas and the hard-hit areas with an area of 6.5438+0.3 million square kilometers, resulting in the death of 69,227 compatriots and the disappearance of 654.38+0.7923 compatriots. It is necessary to urgently transfer and resettle 654.38+0.5 1 10,000 people, and a large number of houses collapsed and infrastructure was damaged. The ecological environment has been severely damaged, resulting in a direct economic loss of 84.5/kloc-0.0 billion yuan, resulting in rare secondary disasters such as collapse, landslide, debris flow and dammed lake in the world.

Disaster is command, and time is life. We organized and carried out the earthquake relief struggle with the fastest rescue speed, the widest mobilization scope and the largest investment in the history of our country, which saved the lives of the affected people to the utmost extent and minimized the losses caused by the disaster. We insist on saving people's lives as the first priority, and make every effort as long as there is a glimmer of hope. 840 17 people were rescued from the ruins, and the trapped people 1 0.49 million people were rescued, and more than 4.3 million patients were treated in time, among which110,000 seriously injured people were quickly transferred to 375 hospitals in 20 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country. Do everything possible to resettle the lives of the people affected by the disaster. The basic livelihood of 1565438+ 10,000 people who were resettled in an emergency was properly arranged, and 8,865,438+10,000 people in need in the disaster area were helped. Primary and secondary schools have fully resumed classes before the start of the new semester, and effective measures have been taken to ensure that there is no major epidemic after the disaster, so that the people in the disaster areas have food, clothing, clean water, shelter and shelter. We will spare no effort to repair infrastructure such as transportation, electric power, communication, radio and television, water conservancy, water supply and gas supply, timely handle and resolve secondary disasters such as dammed lakes, earnestly do a good job in aftershock monitoring, meteorological services, scientific and technological support, coal, electricity and oil transportation support, and timely and accurately announce the disaster situation, creating favorable conditions for earthquake relief and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. We actively organize the allocation of funds and the supply of materials, take timely measures, strengthen supervision and inspection of management and use, and ensure that earthquake relief funds and materials are used in disaster areas and affected people in a timely and effective manner. We strengthened policy support, made every effort to restore production in the disaster areas, and made significant progress in the recovery of industry, agriculture and tourism in the disaster areas. We make scientific assessment and planning, formulate relevant regulations, guiding opinions and plans in a timely manner, set up special funds by the central government, organize and implement counterpart support, and carry out post-disaster recovery and reconstruction in an orderly manner according to law. At present, all the restoration and reconstruction work has been comprehensively promoted, and the people in the disaster areas are bravely moving towards a new life.

With fearless heroism, strong unity and epic feats, the people of China have written new magnificent poems in the history of the development of the Chinese nation.

In the face of this devastating earthquake, party committees and governments at all levels, from the central to the local, have strong leadership and scientific command, and have always shared the same fate with the people in the disaster areas. The CPC Central Committee takes the overall situation into consideration and assesses the situation. Immediately after the earthquake, earthquake relief was identified as the most important and urgent task of the whole party and country. The the State Council Earthquake Relief Headquarters was established, which was carefully organized and scientifically dispatched, and established a working mechanism of linking up and down, military and land planning, national mobilization and regional cooperation. It quickly organized rescue forces from all sides to rush to the disaster-stricken areas, urgently mobilized a large number of relief materials to be transported to the disaster-stricken areas, carefully arranged the resettlement work for the affected people, and quickly promoted post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, thus doing its best for earthquake relief. All localities and departments vigorously carry forward the idea of a national chess game. If one side is in trouble, all sides will support it. They did everything for the disaster area, and did a lot of work in mobilizing personnel, supporting materials, treating the wounded, resettling immigrants, and building temporary and transitional shelters. 19 provincial and municipal party committees and governments, which undertake counterpart support tasks, actively implement the central deployment and are duty-bound to support the recovery and reconstruction of disaster areas. All this fully embodies the idea that the party and the government always adhere to the people-oriented principle and the people's interests are above everything else, vividly demonstrates the strong leadership and command ability of the party and the government in times of crisis, and greatly encourages and strengthens the courage and confidence of the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to win the earthquake relief struggle.

In the face of the devastating earthquake, the party committees and governments at all levels and the broad masses of cadres and people in the disaster areas mobilized urgently and acted quickly, giving full play to the role of the mainstay. At the critical juncture of landslides and ground fissures, the party committees and governments at all levels in the disaster areas are calm and calm, leading the masses to turn grief into strength, bravely stand up from the ruins, and calmly carry out earthquake relief work. Cadres at all levels stepped forward, took the lead, organized the masses to race against time to rescue the trapped people, tried every means to resettle the affected people, and led them to resume production and rebuild their homes. Party member, the vast number of * * * producers, risked his life and went forward bravely. At the critical moment and crisis, he showed his position and showed the glorious image of * * * producers in the new era. The people in the disaster area are not afraid of danger, watch and help each other, and do their best to save themselves and each other. In "Fight to the Death", how many people instantly made the choice of leaving the hope of life to others and the threat of death to themselves, how many parents propped up the sky of life for their children with their arms, how many teachers blocked the threat of death for their students with their bodies, and how many cadres fought for everyone. Our lovely children, some singing loudly under the ruins, some searching for classmates with wit, show extraordinary courage and valuable love. With such tenacious will, the party committees and governments at all levels and the broad masses of cadres and the masses in the disaster-stricken areas have created earth-shattering and touching achievements on the devastated land.

In the face of catastrophic earthquake disasters, officers and men of the People's Liberation Army, officers and men of the Armed Police Force, militia reservists and public security police charged ahead, bravely shouldered heavy burdens and played the role of the main force and commando. 146000 people's soldiers are concerned about the safety of the people in the disaster area, shoulder the expectations of the party and the people, carry forward the fighting style of being brave and tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice and fighting continuously, and undertake the most urgent, difficult and dangerous earthquake relief task. The heroic people's soldiers bravely broke into the epicenter, dared to cross the boundary between life and death, overcome thousands of difficulties and entered thousands of households, bringing hope and courage to the people in the disaster area. Seventy-five thousand militia reservists acted voluntarily and became an important assault force to rescue the affected people, medical aid, health and epidemic prevention, road transportation, oil supply, electric power emergency repair and resume production. The vast number of public security rescue teams, such as fire secret service, special police, frontier defense and public security police, have spared no effort to help the masses, maintain social stability and ensure post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, adding new glory to the Golden Shield.

Facing the catastrophic earthquake disaster, people all over the country are deeply concerned about the disaster area, forming a majestic force for Qi Xin to work together to fight the disaster. During the day and night of the earthquake rescue, people of all ethnic groups in China were concerned about it, and Qi Xin worked together to die. Disaster is merciless, and there is love in the world. Come on Wenchuan, come on China, and become the strongest voice resounding through the land of China. How many people spontaneously rushed to the disaster area from all over the country to be silent volunteers, how many people spontaneously rushed to blood donation points all over the country to donate blood for free, how many people spontaneously donated money to the disaster area, and how many * * * party member spontaneously paid special membership dues to the party organization. The vast number of medical and health workers carried forward the spirit of saving lives, saved lives day and night, and strictly prevented the epidemic, and completed the largest life rescue and the transfer of the wounded in a non-war state. The majority of journalists risked their lives to go deep into the front line, conveyed the voice of the CPC Central Committee in time, reported the progress of earthquake relief in depth, vividly displayed the heroic deeds of the broad masses of soldiers and civilians, and provided strong public support for earthquake relief. The vast number of scientific and technological workers and project builders in earthquake, meteorology, transportation, electric power, communication, radio and television, water conservancy, water supply and gas supply have cooperated closely, providing strong support for earthquake relief. The vast number of literary and art workers enthusiastically eulogized the great spirit of earthquake relief, which provided a strong spiritual inspiration for the earthquake relief struggle. From the city to the countryside, from the army to the factories and mines, from the organs to the grass roots, from the streets to the schools, unprecedented life rescue, thousands of miles of rescue, surging love and dedication everywhere, great socialist cooperation to overcome the difficulties, gathered into a strong synergy in the same boat.

This catastrophic earthquake disaster is not only a catastrophe facing the world, but also a great test in progress. With firm faith, strong will and tenacious efforts, our party, our army and our people have overcome difficulties and obstacles, withstood the test and handed over a qualified answer to history. The great victory in the earthquake relief struggle has demonstrated the great strength of the socialist state power in the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China, the great strength of the people's army, the great strength of the 654.38 billion China people, the great strength of reform and opening up, and the great strength of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, which has further enhanced the national self-confidence and pride of the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country. This will certainly inspire people in disaster areas to overcome all difficulties, rebuild their homes and create a better life, and will certainly inspire people of all ethnic groups throughout the country.

Comrades and friends!

In the magnificent earthquake relief struggle, we use ideals to unite strength, faith to unite strength, and true feelings to unite care, and vigorously cultivate and carry forward the great earthquake relief spirit of unity, fearlessness, perseverance, people-oriented and respect for science.

In the arduous struggle against the devastating earthquake, our party, our army and our people are United as one, which fully embodies the national character of the Chinese nation's harmonious and United struggle. Together, everyone has the power to break the gold, and in the same boat, there is invincible confidence. In the face of the devastating earthquake, the whole country is in trouble with * * *, and Qi Xin in the front and rear works together, and the domestic and overseas blend together to form a rock-solid and unbreakable life. This powerful force of unity and forge ahead is a true reflection of our people and nation in the severe test of life and death, blood and fire, and is the internal strength of the Chinese nation coming from the depths of history, showing the endless vitality of the people of China and Chinese civilization.

In the arduous struggle against the devastating earthquake, our party, our army and our people are fearless and indomitable, fully demonstrating the national character of the Chinese nation's self-improvement and courage to win. Strength is a sharp weapon to overcome suffering, and courage is the support to create miracles. On the occasion of the extremely tragic disaster raid, the broad masses of soldiers and civilians do not bend over or tremble in the life-and-death contest, do not give up in the face of all difficulties, and stubbornly challenge the physical limit, mental limit and survival limit. Wherever the disaster is critical, they will rush to where there is a life-and-death test, and the affected people will gather there. This courage to overcome all difficulties and not be overwhelmed by any difficulties is an important spiritual pillar for the Chinese nation to stand on its own feet in the world.

In the arduous struggle against the devastating earthquake, our party, army and people adhered to the principle of putting people first and respecting science, which fully reflected the national character of caring for life and advocating rationality of the Chinese nation. Human life is above everything, before everything, above everything. In the whole process of earthquake relief, we fought against time and death, which fully reflected the essence of our socialist system of cherishing life and protecting people. On the National Day of Mourning, 65.438+300 million people * * * observed silence for their compatriots who died unfortunately, which showed the respect of the whole nation for human life. We insist on closely combining the power of science and technology with tenacious struggle, giving full play to people's dynamic spirit and the important role of science and technology. This high concern for life and high respect for science is an important driving force for China people to keep pace with the times, realize their all-round development and build an innovative country.

National spirit is an important part of a country's comprehensive national strength, and its connotation is always enriched in historical progress and sublimated in disaster test. The great spirit of earthquake relief embodies and develops the spirit of patriotism, collectivism and socialism, which is the glorious tradition and fine style of our party and army, the great national spirit of the Chinese nation and the spirit of the times of the contemporary people in China, and the extremely precious spiritual wealth of our party and people. It is necessary to vigorously carry forward the great spirit of earthquake relief in the whole party and society, so as to transform it into a firm will to work hard and rebuild their homes, and into a powerful force to promote sound and rapid economic and social development.

Comrades and friends!

In this magnificent earthquake relief struggle, we have accumulated valuable experience in dealing with emergencies and fighting against catastrophic natural disasters, and also gained many extremely valuable inspirations.

-The earthquake relief struggle has once again proved that socialist China has strong development vitality. This earthquake relief struggle has fully demonstrated the political advantage that China's socialist system can concentrate on doing great things. The founding of New China and the establishment of the socialist system have opened a new historical period for the development of the Chinese nation. Reform and opening up have further revitalized socialism in China, and Socialism with Chinese characteristics has shown bright development prospects. Only socialism can save China, and only Socialism with Chinese characteristics can develop China. This is the true feeling and firm belief of China people. As long as we always adhere to the Socialism with Chinese characteristics road, constantly promote the self-improvement and development of China's socialist system, and give full play to the advantages of the socialist system, we will certainly be able to continue to push forward the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

-The earthquake relief struggle has once again proved that the people are the real driving force for social development and progress in China. The great victory in the struggle for earthquake relief is, in the final analysis, the victory of the people. The people are the creators of history and the deepest force to revitalize China. In the long history of China's development for thousands of years, all kinds of hardships have not interrupted the tenacious development process of Chinese civilization, and all kinds of difficulties have not erased the indomitable will of the Chinese nation. It is by relying on the people that we have won great victories in revolution, construction and reform. As long as we always adhere to the people-oriented principle, ensure that development is for the people, depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people, and give full play to the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the broad masses of the people, we will certainly be able to rely on the great strength of people's unity and concentrated infinite wisdom to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with one heart and one mind.

The struggle for earthquake relief once again proves that the people's army is a great wall of steel to defend the people. In the struggle against earthquake disasters, the people's soldiers once again built an immortal monument in the hearts of the people with loyalty and flesh and blood, once again showing the world that our people's army is worthy of being the people's soldiers. Since its birth in 8 1 year, the People's Army has made outstanding contributions to the cause of people's liberation in China, the cause of socialist construction and reform and opening up in China, and the defense of national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity. As long as we always adhere to the guidance of Marxist military theory, vigorously carry forward the fine traditions of listening to the party's command, serving the people and being brave and good at fighting, comprehensively promote the construction of revolutionization, modernization and regularization, and constantly improve the ability to fulfill the historical mission of the army in the new century and new stage, we will certainly be able to make the people's army always a loyal guardian and builder of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Facts tell people that since its founding 87 years ago, our Party in China has always stood in the forefront of the times, always represented the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in China, United and led the people of all ethnic groups in their unremitting struggle for national independence, people's liberation, national prosperity and people's happiness, paid the greatest sacrifice and won the heartfelt support of the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country. The key to China's success lies in the Party. As long as we adhere to scientific theory and correct line, principles and policies, keep in mind the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, constantly improve the party's ruling ability, maintain and develop its advanced nature, and constantly improve its ability to resist corruption, change and risks, we will certainly be able to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to overcome various difficulties and challenges on the road ahead and constantly create a historical foundation for the development and growth of the Chinese nation.

Earthquake relief makes us feel more deeply that the big family of the socialist motherland is the warmest, the people are the most respectable, the people's soldiers are the most lovely, and the producers in China are the most caring. The superiority of China's socialist system, the excellent quality of the Chinese nation, the political nature of the people's army and the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) are the remarkable political advantages of our country and nation, which we must cherish and uphold forever.

Comrades and friends!

Since the beginning of this year, the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups in China have fought in unity, courageously defeated the severe low-temperature freezing rain, snow and freezing disasters in some parts of the south and the devastating earthquake in Wenchuan, Sichuan, successfully hosted the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games, successfully carried out the Shenzhou VII manned space mission, comprehensively promoted economic and social development, and laid a new important foundation for the development of the cause of the party and the people. On the way forward, we should fully implement the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, hold high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, thoroughly implement Scientific Outlook on Development under the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents, more consciously implement the ideas of continuing to emancipate the mind, persist in reform and opening up, promote scientific development and promote social harmony, solidly promote socialist economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction, strive to win an all-round victory in the earthquake relief struggle and make joint efforts to realize the grand blueprint drawn by the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

We should deepen reform and development and constantly enhance our comprehensive national strength and ability to resist risks. The earthquake relief struggle comprehensively reviewed and demonstrated the great achievements made by China in the past 30 years of reform and opening up in a special way. Since the reform and opening up, China's comprehensive national strength has greatly jumped, and social prosperity and progress have provided a solid material guarantee and social foundation for earthquake relief. Reform and opening up is the road to a strong country. We should continue to emancipate our minds, seek truth from facts, keep pace with the times, unswervingly implement the spirit of reform and innovation in all aspects of governing the country, and strive to build a dynamic, efficient and more open institutional mechanism conducive to scientific development, so as to provide a strong impetus and institutional guarantee for the development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Development is the last word. We should persistently regard development as the top priority of the Party in governing and rejuvenating the country, concentrate on construction and development, promote scientific development more consciously and firmly, strive to achieve sound and rapid economic and social development, and lay a more solid material foundation for the development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

It is necessary to further improve the post-disaster recovery and reconstruction work and vigorously support the people in the disaster areas to rebuild their beautiful homes. At present, the task of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction is very heavy. It is necessary to fully implement the principles, policies and work arrangements of the party and the state on post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, adhere to scientific planning and step-by-step implementation, respect the law, implement overall planning and classified guidance, base on the present, focus on the long-term, proceed from reality, strive for maximum benefit and best effect, and strive to build a happy and beautiful new home where people live and work in peace and contentment and urban and rural prosperity together. People live in harmony with nature, realizing that every family has a house to live in, every household has an industry, and everyone is guaranteed. Insist on solving people's livelihood problems, make unremitting efforts to arrange the basic livelihood of the masses, properly arrange the lives of orphans, the elderly and the disabled, implement various forms of employment assistance, give priority to restoring the basic living conditions and public service facilities of the masses, and restore production conditions as soon as possible. At present, we must pay close attention to solving the problem of safe winter for the affected people. It is necessary to closely combine post-disaster recovery and reconstruction with the promotion of industrialization, urbanization, the construction of new socialist countryside and poverty alleviation and development, with the construction of main functional areas and the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, with the protection of national cultural heritage, with the promotion of the restoration and continuous improvement of the ecological environment in disaster areas as soon as possible, and strive to achieve sustainable development. The provinces and cities that undertake the task of counterpart support should actively provide various forms of support for the disaster-stricken areas, and the cadres and masses in the recipient areas should work hard and be self-reliant. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision and inspection of the management and use of funds and materials for earthquake relief, and ensure that the funds and materials for disaster relief are really used for post-disaster recovery and reconstruction and the affected people.

It is necessary to further strengthen disaster prevention and mitigation work and significantly improve disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities. Improving the ability of disaster prevention and mitigation is an inevitable requirement for protecting people's lives and property and safeguarding the achievements of reform, opening up and socialist modernization. We should adhere to the combination of promoting benefits and eliminating pests, pay equal attention to disaster prevention and mitigation, give consideration to both temporary and permanent solutions, and coordinate the government and society to comprehensively improve the comprehensive prevention and resistance of the whole society to natural disasters. It is necessary to speed up the improvement of laws, regulations and comprehensive supporting policies for disaster prevention and mitigation, strengthen the awareness and responsibility of governments at all levels for disaster prevention and mitigation, speed up the construction of a disaster prevention and mitigation planning system covering all regions, industries and units, and enhance the ability to integrate and coordinate disaster prevention and mitigation resources. It is necessary to strengthen the capacity building of urban and rural disaster prevention, improve the scientific and technological level of disaster prevention and mitigation, enhance the ability of disaster monitoring and early warning, strengthen the infrastructure construction of disaster prevention and mitigation, and improve disaster prevention and mitigation measures such as risk monitoring, emergency response, disaster relief, recovery and reconstruction of various disasters. It is necessary to strengthen the popularization of knowledge about natural disaster prevention, risk avoidance, self-help and mutual rescue, and comprehensively improve the awareness, skills and disaster relief ability of the whole society. It is necessary to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation in information management, publicity and education, professional training, scientific research and development and international humanitarian assistance in the field of disaster prevention and mitigation, actively learn from the successful practices and experiences of foreign countries in disaster prevention and mitigation, establish and improve cooperation mechanisms with relevant international institutions and governments in the field of disaster prevention and mitigation, and give full play to China's important role in the field of international disaster prevention and mitigation.

We should further strengthen the capacity building of emergency management and vigorously improve our ability to respond to public emergencies. Seriously sum up the successful experience of earthquake relief, form perfect emergency management laws, regulations and policies and measures, establish and improve the working mechanism of centralized leadership, unified command, responsive and efficient operation, and improve the ability of party committees and governments at all levels to deal with emergencies. We should vigorously build a professional and socialized emergency rescue team, improve a strong emergency material reserve and rescue system, a long-term standardized emergency guarantee fund input and disbursement system, rapid and orderly epidemic prevention and medical treatment measures, timely and accurate information release, public opinion guidance and public opinion analysis system, well-managed counterpart support, social donation, voluntary service and other social mobilization mechanisms, and a catastrophe insurance and reinsurance system that conforms to national conditions. By comprehensively promoting the construction of emergency management system and methods, the emergency management ability will be significantly improved, the harm caused by public emergencies will be minimized, and the safety of people's lives and property will be guaranteed to the maximum extent.

It is necessary to further strengthen the construction of the socialist core value system and earnestly consolidate the ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country. The high-spirited spirit of the broad masses of soldiers and civilians in earthquake relief fully embodies the great achievements made in the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, especially the construction of socialist core value system. Insist on arming the whole party and educating the people with the latest achievements of Marxism in China, unite strength with Socialism with Chinese characteristics's ideal, inspire fighting spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, and lead the fashion with the socialist concept of honor and disgrace. We should take the good ideas and good work style cultivated and carried forward in the earthquake relief struggle as vivid teaching materials for the construction of the socialist core value system, guide people to further strengthen their confidence in reform and opening up and Socialism with Chinese characteristics's belief, and provide strong ideological guarantee and spiritual support for the development of the cause of the party and the people.

We should further strengthen Party building and constantly improve the Party's ruling ability. In the spirit of reform and innovation, we will continue to push forward the new great project of party building in an all-round way and provide a strong political guarantee for winning an all-round victory in the earthquake relief struggle and promoting sound and rapid economic and social development. We should always regard educating the whole party to fight unswervingly for the development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics as the fundamental task of party building, educate and guide the vast number of party member to stand firm in their ideals and beliefs, fight unswervingly for the realization of the party's basic line and program, do their jobs conscientiously, and truly make it clear and catch up at critical moments and critical moments. We should always take the realization, maintenance and development of the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and the end result of party building, always keep the people in mind, rely on the people for work and do everything for the people. We should always regard improving the leadership level and ruling ability of leading bodies and cadres at all levels as the key link of party building, and promote leading bodies and cadres at all levels to improve their ability to lead scientific development and promote social harmony, and enhance their ability and level to deal with emergencies. We should always regard enhancing the creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness of grass-roots party organizations as the basic project of party building, constantly grasp the grass-roots units and lay a foundation, and rally the broad masses of the people around the party organizations. We should always regard maintaining and developing party member's advanced nature as the eternal theme of Party building, educate and guide the vast number of party member to strengthen their ideals and beliefs, abide by organizational discipline, and strive to be a pioneer and model. Party organizations at all levels should pay special attention to and care for grassroots party member cadres in disaster areas, understand their feelings, understand their difficulties, care about their health, and enthusiastically help them do a good job. Party member cadres should bear in mind the fundamental purpose of serving the people heart and soul, persist in seeking truth from facts, be pragmatic, take the lead in carrying forward the spirit of hard struggle, put people's interests and expectations first, do everything possible to solve problems for the masses, and strive to make achievements that can stand the test of practice, people and history.

Comrades and friends!

Man is a member of nature, and nature is the material basis for human survival and development. It is the eternal theme of human survival and progress to constantly understand nature in the practice of transforming the objective world and the subjective world, to rationally develop nature on the basis of conforming to the laws of nature and to develop oneself in harmony with nature. The movement of nature is independent of human will. To develop and utilize nature, we must first understand and respect nature and act according to its laws. Natural disasters not only bring human suffering, but also make people more consciously understand and grasp the laws of nature, enhance their ability to resist natural disasters, and then promote the progress of human civilization. As Engels said, "there is no historical catastrophe that is not compensated by historical progress."

A nation that is good at summing up and drawing lessons from natural disasters is bound to become increasingly powerful and invincible. China is one of the countries with the most serious natural disasters in the world, with many kinds of disasters, wide geographical distribution, high frequency and heavy losses. We should deeply understand this basic national condition, deal with the relationship between man and nature more consciously, develop and utilize nature more rationally, and serve people's life, economic construction and social development. Understanding and grasping the laws of nature is a never-ending process. Regular things can only be more clearly understood by people through the continuous reciprocating phenomenon and the continuous development of science and technology. As long as we unswervingly follow the path of scientific development, persistently explore and understand the laws of nature, persist in doing things according to the laws of nature, and constantly enhance our ability to promote the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, we will certainly be able to constantly discover, invent, create and make progress, and we will certainly be able to make human beings better adapt to nature and make nature better benefit human beings.

Comrades and friends!

With rock-solid unity and tenacious struggle, we won a great victory in the earthquake relief struggle. Facts tell us once again that unity is strength, and hard work can win. The whole party, the whole army and the people of all nationalities in China must unite more closely, vigorously carry forward the great spirit of earthquake relief, * * cheer for our great motherland, * * cheer for our great nation, * * cheer for our great cause of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, and continue to forge ahead courageously along the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics with one heart and one mind!
