Zhang Kunhua - a repairman with Production Department No. 2 of Kunming Cigarette Factory of the HongyunHonghe Tobacco Group in southwest China's tobacco-producing Yunnan Province - received the title as a national-level model worker at a grand ceremony to honor 2,115 Chinese national labor heroes and 870 model workers from all walks of life in China for the year 2010, which was held in Beijing on April 27. At the ceremony presided over by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Chinese President Hu Jintao delivered an address to urge greater efforts to promote the "model worker spirit" nationwide to further promote socioeconomic development. Zhang has become the fourth national-level model worker from HongyunHonghe after Xiong Xiong from Qujing Cigarette Factory of HongyunHonghe, Liu Fengshu from Ulanhot Cigarette Factory of HongyunHonghe and Qiu Jiankang from the head office of HongyunHonghe received such titles in previous years. The selection of national-level labor heroes and model workers is held once in every five years. Granted by the State Council (the Cabinet), the title of national-level model workers is the highest honor for workers in China. In his address, Hu, also general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee, praised the labor heroes and model workers for their "outstanding contributions in pushing forward China's socioeconomic advancement."
