National lawmakers and political advisors in China have brought motions and proposals based on solid field investigation to the ongoing \u201ctwo sessions\u201d, namely the fifth session of the 13th National People\u2019s Congress (NPC), China\u2019s top legislature, and the fifth session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People\u2019s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China\u2019s top political advisory body, showing close ties with the people and a strong sense of responsibility toward the people.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the proposals I\u2019m going to submit this year are based on years of field trips, and some are the result of the hard work of many experts and my peers,\u201d said Feng Yuan, chief engineer with China Southwest Architectural Design and Research Institute Corp. Ltd., and also a member of the National Committee of the CPPCC.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Feng always carries a notebook with her to write down ideas and thoughts during her field trips. Her unremitting efforts have paid off. According to Feng, she has submitted a total of 11 proposals over the past years, among which the ones on issues including furthering the implementation of the system of housing instruction manual have gained a lot of attention from and been adopted by relevant authorities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Feng feels heartened when her proposals are adopted and translated into policies and the problems she reported on via proposals are gradually solved.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bearing in mind people\u2019s trust, members of the CPPCC committees and deputies to people\u2019s congresses at various levels across the country make active efforts to perform their duties.<\/p>\n

Just like Feng, political advisors and lawmakers in China earnestly conduct field investigation, summarize problems, examine the actual situation, and search for solutions, trying to contribute to the high-quality development of the country through high-quality performance of duties.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gao Chunyan, director of the agricultural technology promotion center of Muling city, northeast China\u2019s Heilongjiang province, and a deputy to the NPC, makes field trips to rural areas every week. Over the past nearly one year, she visited more than 20 rural cooperatives and over 100 farmer households, and held discussions with local residents for more than 30 times to learn about the progress and efforts made in improving the living environment in rural areas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Focusing his attention on the safety of seeds, Ma Zhongming, head of Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences and a member of the CPPCC National Committee, spends at least a third of his time a year on field surveys.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigation\u201d and \u201cresponsibility\u201d were among the most frequent words used by China\u2019s political advisors and lawmakers during the recent interviews.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They said that \u201cOnly by understanding the actual situation can we truly find out the problems and put forward targeted countermeasures and proposals,\u201d \u201cTo improve people\u2019s participation in discussion on and handling of state affairs, we must involve ourselves deeply in their daily life,\u201d and \u201cReal knowledge comes from first-hand experience. How could we come up with good suggestions if we don\u2019t make field trips to grassroots communities and maintain close ties with the people?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Good suggestions are indeed the result of field trips. Only when based on first-hand experience can political advisors\u2019 proposals and lawmakers\u2019 motions truly reflect people\u2019s life and aspirations and help the people better feel the breadth, depth, and warmth of China\u2019s whole-process people\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s firmly believed that the high-quality proposals and motions submitted by China\u2019s CPPCC members and NPC deputies will be properly and carefully reviewed and handled, and eventually translated into pragmatic measures that will bring a better life to the people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
