Premier Li Keqiang stressed building schools that are solid enough to withstand any dangers and disasters when he visited a middle school in Lushan county in Southwest China’s Sichuan province on April 24.

Only by building firm schools and hospitals can people feel safe, said the Premier.

The school was rebuilt after it was devastated by a deadly earthquake three years ago.

Premier Li said the best tribute to the earthquake victims is to ensure children can grow healthily and become the country’s valuable assets in the future.

He said children represent the hope of Lushan and encouraged them to cherish the opportunity to study hard.
