BEIJING, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping Tuesday told the country's Communist Party members to stick to the Party's principles and, with "a true heart," seek benefits for the people.

Xi, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the remarks while meeting with Wen Jianming, a grassroots Party official known for his diligent work.

Wen, born in 1963, is a Party secretary at Chengnan town in southwest China's Sichuan Province. He has been working in eight villages and towns and was praised by local residents for developing effective methods to boost local development.

Further, after contracting cancer and undergoing 19 surgeries, Wen has remained at work.

"Party members across the country, especially Party leaders and cadres, should learn from Wen's unswerving belief, loyalty to the Party and his passion for working at the grassroots levels," said Xi.
