When meeting with Chinese and foreign correspondents after winning overwhelming endorsement for the appointment as premier in the 10th National People's Congress, Premier Wen Jiabao's opening remarks,' I would like to take the opportunity to say a few words to the people across the county and thank you for the great trust you place on me. I am a very ordinary person. I come from a family of teachers in the countryside.' Premier Wen Jiabao was born in a mean alley in Tianjin. It is at the early stage of New China when he was in middle school that the first generation leaders led by Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou Enlai had attached a great importance to the geological work. Influenced by earnestly instructs of the leaders on geological work and his father's love for geology, he made a choice to contribute himself to the cause of geology. Enrolled in Beijing Institute of Geology, he studied geological surveying and mineral prospecting. After graduating with a master's degree in structural geology, he went to the remote Gansu Province in Northeast China, where he had worked there for 14 years, had travelled the mountain ranges of Northwest China, had led a humble life as a technician, and then was rose to deputy director of the provincial geological bureau. From 1982 to 1985 , Premier Wen had worked in the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources as a section head, and then a vice-minister. 'In fully 25 years' geological study and work, I had led a life in a very hard and odious environment. With the experience, I deeply feel the bitters of life, and also the difficulties of our country's development.' Premier Wen said in a public speech.
