BEIJING, May 15 (Xinhua) -- Qiushi, or "Seeking Truth," the official magazine of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee will publish an article by Vice President Xi Jinping on improving official writing or speech styles.

The article will appear in the latest issue of Qiushi on Sunday.

At an opening of the CPC Central Committee Party School's spring semester held on Wednesday in Beijing, Xi told more than 900 officials and new student cadres that they must eradicate "empty words" and political jargon from their speeches and documents.

He also urged Party leaders to learn "colloquial wisdom" from the public and make their speeches and articles more easily understood by common people.
