Chinese President Xi Jinping has encouraged private entrepreneurs to have a down-to-earth confidence in their development and work when developing their businesses.
Xi made the remarks in a letter on Saturday in response to some private entrepreneurs who have been awarded for their contributions to a poverty relief campaign.
In his letter, Xi spoke highly of the private entrepreneurs' devotion to the cause of fighting poverty.
"I'm delighted to see an increasing number of private entrepreneurs actively shouldering social responsibilities, eagerly devoting themselves to the arduous battle to eradicate poverty, and helping many impoverished people to live a better life," Xi said.
Over 60,000 private enterprises have taken part in the "10,000 enterprises assisting 10,000 villages" poverty relief campaign since it began in October 2015, and 100 of them were awarded earlier this month.
The award winners recently sent Xi a letter, reporting their experiences of participating in the campaign and expressing their determination to further contribute to poverty eradication.
