remember him to their families in terms of season greetings when he inspected
the local armed police.
Sun Zhensheng, a soldier with the local armed police who was on duty, was
excited and thanked Hu on the phone when he received the President's call from
50 kilometers away.
Pleased to see the young trees on the hillsides in the Yanhewan Town of Ansai
County, which was chosen to be the trial place to replant trees on the
cultivated land in an effort to improve the environment, Hu told the local
officials:"We should persevere in our efforts to plant more trees here and make
the hills in Yan'an more green and the people here more affluent."
Hu asked the local government to render more help to the farmers in capital
and technology when he inspected ecological vegetable fields, and encouraged the
firms there to promote innovation when he inspected a pharmaceutical company.
The President also visited some historical sites of the Chinese revolution,
including former residence of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and other former
revolutionists.
