Special Report:   17th CPC National Congress

Zhou Haijiang comes from East China's Jiangsu Province, a place where privately-owned businesses are flourishing.

Zhou Haijiang is the head of the Hodo group, a well known private enterprise in East China's Jiangsu Province. 20 years ago, Zhou resigned from his job at a college to work here. Since then, he has witnessed the growth of a little factory into a huge company with sales of 15 billion Yuan last year.

Zhou said, "China's private enterprises were born because of the Communist Party's opening up and reform policies. The government is making more and more policies to help, encourage and guide the development of the private economies. I can say now it is the best time for us to develop."

Zhou has been a member of the Communist Party for more two decades. Although being in charge of a private company, his faith and confidence strengthens in Communist beliefs, and the Communist members, who he says are the most precious fortune for his company.

Zhou said, "The CPC organization is playing a great role in a company. Back in 1997, when the Southeast Asia economic crisis broke out, many companies have closed down. We have felt great pressure also. But our CPC employees have saved the enterprise, none of them has left. So we survived and kept growing."

This has determined Zhou to build up the Communist Party branch in his enterprise. He says Communist Party members are always the advanced workers in the team. Now, this political advantage has transformed the cultural character in the Hodo Group.

As a successful entrepreneur, Zhou believes he has the responsibility of making profit, and more importantly, repaying society and serving the people, and this is what the Communist Party of China is doing in the country.
