The Central Commission for Guiding Ethical and Cultural Progress is to award more than 1,000 work units across China for their outstanding achievements and progress in ethical and cultural advancement.
The Jixi Railway Station of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province and the Beijing-based Diaoyutai State Guesthouse are on the list of winners.
The commission called on all work units to learn from the awarded units, to emancipate their minds, seek truth from facts, keep pace with the times and have a pioneering spirit and determination to blaze new trails, so as to make new contributions to building a relatively affluent society in an all-round way.
The first group of winners of ethical and cultural progress awards were announced in 1999.
