BEIJING, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- "We have the faith, courage and ability to overcome the severe natural disaster," Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao told the country on Saturday on board a train in disaster-hit central Hunan Province.

"I am now on a train bound for ChenzhouCity with the accompany of heads of relevant departments of the State Council. We are helping with the relief work," Wen said in his address on China National Radio.

He delivered Spring Festival wishes to all people in the country.

"The general public, especially those who sacrifice their lives in the disaster relief, are those who moved me most," Wen was quoted as saying in TV footage from Hunan Economic TV Station. "Inface of the disaster, they show us composure, bravery and the spirit of sacrifice."

"I often hear people express out of their own will thankfulness to the government. But those we really should thank are the masses," he said.

It was Wen's second visit to disaster-hit Hunan.

He flew out of Beijing on Monday night to Hunan but had to land at TianheAirport in neighboring HubeiProvince because of the bad weather. He completed his journey by train and arrived in ChangshaCity, the provincial capital, on Tuesday morning.
