Guo Boxiong urged the military members of the lecture team to be fully aware of the great political and social significance of this lecture tour as well as the great responsibility they are shouldering, give wide publicity to the outstanding deeds and noble spirit demonstrated by the officers and men in the quake rescue and relief operation in order to arouse their fighting spirit and boost their morale to make greater contributions to the better fulfillment of the quake rescue and relief tasks in the next stage and to putting into effect the demands advanced by Chairman Hu Jintao on the officers and men to win the formidable task of quake rescue and relief with determined resolve.

　　The members of the Central Military Commission, including Liang Guanglie, Chen Bingde, Li Jinai, Liao Xilong, Chang Wanquan, Jing Zhiyuan, Wu Shengli and Xu Qiliang, were also present at the meeting.

　　Guo Boxiong pointed out that an army of advanced units, exemplary heroic and model individuals mushroomed in the massive quake rescue and relief operation, who were represented by the 12 military members in the lecture team. They have faithfully practiced the army's basic tenet of serving the people wholeheartedly with their actual actions, and vividly displayed the army's good traditions of not being afraid of hardships, shedding blood and laying down their lives, and being particularly good at enduring hardships and fighting hard battles, and for that matter, they are the models for all the servicemen to learn from.
