At the commending meeting of national spiritual civilization held in Beijing on the morning of December 20, Ningbo once again won the title of a National Wenming City, as one of the six cities that have won the title for successively three times.
Liu Qi, Mayor of Ningbo Municipality, said, as early in 2001, Ningbo Municipal Party Committee and Ningbo Municipal Government set the target to win the honor for a third time. Since then, the city has followed the principles of “for the people, by the people and benefitting the people” in the building of the Wenming City. The city has associated the program with all aspects of the development of the city, such as politics, economy, culture, social development, urban construction and management. Liu Qi said, the success in winning the title of National Wenming City for a third time indicates that Ningbo has made great achievements in the work and that the central government has affirmed the achievements Ningbo has made in the economic and social development. This is also an urge for the future development of Ningbo.
It is known that the National Wenming City is the greatest honor that the central government grants to a city. This title is not permanent. A city so entitled must take the annual examination by the central government and the re-examination once every three years. On October 26 in 2005 Ningbo gained the honor as one of the first group of National Wenming Cities. On January 20 in 2009 Ningbo passed the re-examination and won the title for a second time. This year, Ningbo passed the re-examination and successfully won the championship for the third time
