Deng Xiaoping Theory is a scientific theory for the Chinese people to realize socialist modernization and the guiding thought the Party must uphold for long, Chinese President Hu Jintao said here Sunday.

"The most valuable wealth left by Comrade Deng Xiaoping is Deng Xiaoping Theory and the Party's basic line in the preliminary stage of socialism formulated under the guidance of the Theory," Hu said at a grand gathering to commemorate the late leader's birth centenary.

The contemporary Communists in China, with Comrade Jiang Zemin as the principal representative, gradually formed the important thought of "Three Represents," which has become the fundamental guideline for the whole Party and nation to build a society of relatively affluence in an all-round way in the new century, said Hu, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.

"We should insist on arming the whole Party and educating the whole nation with Deng Xiaoping Theory and the 'Three Represents' important thought at all time and under all circumstances," Hu said.
