President Hu Jintao on Saturday urged the Chinese nation to learn from aerospace workers at a grand ceremony marking the success of China's second manned space flight.

Aerospace workers have cultivated a spirit of "being especially capable of bearing hardships, fighting, tackling key problems and making contributions" since China's manned space flight program was initiated 13 years ago, Hu said.

Hu also praised the workers for their love of the motherland, sense of team work and quality of not seeking fame and wealth.

The spirit should be carried forward when we are endeavoring to build a well-off society and pressing ahead with socialist modernization, the president said.
