A high-ranking official of the Communist Party of China (CPC)
has stressed the importance of nurturing a harmonious culture
compatible with the theme of the country's development.
After a four-day tour of the southernmost island of Hainan, Li
Changchun, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political
Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, ordered local officials to
push forward cultural reforms with a focus on rural cultural
life.
He urged that a publicity campaign be launched to let people
know the significance of building a harmonious society which should
be based on the creation of a core value system. To achieve this
goal the nation should be armed with Marxism that fits the concrete
situations of China, he said.
He visited rural areas in Qionghai city and paid special
attention to the development of ecology-friendly villages. Li said
it was important to improve public cultural services, to popularize
knowledge of modern farming and to enrich cultural activities for
people living in the countryside.
Residential communities, schools, families and factories should
also launch a drive to build a harmonious culture, Li said.
