At the request of the fans for the Party General Secretary and Chinese Premier, the People's Daily Online sets up the "circle of fans for the "assorted, 'eight-treasure' rice", to provide a platform for those fans, who cherish genuine feelings for the Party General Secretary and Chinese Premier, to discuss, exchange and voice their true love or affection for the Chinese leaders, as well as a warm, harmonious and affectionate home for them.
People's Daily Online released a month ago a news story that "Party General Secretary and Chinese Premier, too, has a circle of fans, who styled themselves as 'assorted', 'eight-treasure' rice". It is by no means delicious food but rather a general term for a group of fans, or enthusiastic admirers and supporters of President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao.
The web page of the circle of fans for Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao. The group, made up mainly of the post-80 youths, boasts a very extensive representation, and has drawn media attention nationwide, a web survey has indicated.
The so-called "assorted rice" refers to a group of fans to back President Hu, and the "eight-treasure rice" means a group of fans in support of Premier Wen, whereas the "assorted, 'eight-treasure' rice" is naturally a general term for both groups. Netizens in the fan groups voice their sincere endorsement of the work style of the Party and state leaders in boosting pragmatism, getting closer to people and striving to build a clean and honest government.
