The large image on the front page shows Politburo Standing Committee member Zhou Yongkang (\u5468\u6c38\u5eb7), who oversees security forces and law enforcement agencies in China, undertaking an inspection tour of the security facilities put in place for the 18th Party Congress. The editorial emphasizes that the Party cares only for the people, and it even recounts a touching anecdote of the day Hu Jintao visited a hospital and his red AIDS ribbon \u201cflashed with the hope of spring.\u201d<span id=\"more-6293\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The editorial was first released by the Xinhua News Agency as a \u201crecord of the rule of the Party Central Committee since the 16th Party Congress\u201d, and begins as follows<em>:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Since the 16th Party Congress, the Party has faced unprecedented opportunities and challenges, and complicated internal and external circumstances. Under the leadership of comrade General Secretary Hu Jintao\u2026the Central Committee has thoroughly implemented practical and scientific development, uniting the whole Party and every citizen to work with one purpose to forge ahead with determination in realizing the thriving opportunity of socialism with Chinese characteristics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The editorial then proceeds to list the various achievements wrought by scientific and economic development in China in the last ten years. Yet when it comes to the next section with the same heading as the headline of the editorial, we see an attempt to put a very human and caring face on the Party with a touching anecdote about Hu Jintao. In these last ten years, we are told, there was one objective which was held by the Party in highest esteem: \u201cParty members have striven above all to be people-oriented and to put every effort into improving the people\u2019s livelihood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We are then provided with a practical example of this behaviour from the very top. On the afternoon of 30 November 2004, in a hospital in Beijing, Hu Jintao, smiling, stretched out his hand to a patient who had fallen ill due to HIV\/AIDS, and said: \u201cThe Party, the government and the whole society will do everything to help you.\u201d Then with a poetic touch, the editorial adds the observation that \u201con that winter\u2019s day, the red ribbon on his chest flickered with the hope of spring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links and sources<\/strong><br \/>\nShanghai\u00a0<em>Youth Daily<\/em>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20121112154401\/http:\/\/app.why.com.cn\/epaper\/qnb\/html\/2012-11\/06\/content_99907.htm?div=-1\">\u628a\u4eba\u6c11\u653e\u5728\u5fc3\u4e2d\u6700\u9ad8\u4f4d\u7f6e<\/a><br \/>\nXinhua:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20121112154401\/http:\/\/news.xinhuanet.com\/english\/china\/2012-10\/31\/c_131940589.htm\">Backgrounder: China\u2019s major events since CPC\u2019s 17th national congress<\/a><br \/>\nCCTV:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20121112154401\/http:\/\/english.cntv.cn\/special\/glorious_china\/homepage\/index.shtml\">Five Glorious Years in China<\/a><br \/>\n<em>People\u2019s Daily<\/em>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20121112154401\/http:\/\/english.people.com.cn\/90785\/7910603.html\">[<em>Oriental Outlook<\/em>] Magazine highlights China in 10 years<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0front page\u00a0of the\u00a0\u00a0Shanghai\u00a0Youth Daily\u00a0today leads with a big headline reading \u201cHold the people dearest in our hearts\u201d (or foremost in mind, if you will \u2013 \u628a\u4eba\u6c11\u653e\u5728\u5fc3\u4e2d\u6700\u9ad8\u4f4d\u7f6e) (The Shanghai\u00a0Youth Daily\u00a0was established in 1949 and is closely tied to the Chinese Communist &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/laodanwei.org\/wp\/front-page-of-the-day\/hold-the-people-dearest-in-our-hearts.php\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[121],"tags":[5368,5137],"class_list":["post-6880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-front-page-of-the-day","tag-danweicom","tag-zhou-yongkang"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/laodanwei.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/laodanwei.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/laodanwei.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/laodanwei.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/54"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/laodanwei.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6880"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/laodanwei.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6880\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7197,"href":"https:\/\/laodanwei.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6880\/revisions\/7197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/laodanwei.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/laodanwei.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/laodanwei.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
