Storyline
Deputies to the 14th National People’s Congress (NPC), representing various sectors of society, shared their achievements in their respective fields over the past years, vowing to continue their efforts to support China’s development, during group deliberations at the third session on Wednesday.
The NPC deputies, who participated in group deliberations on the government work report delivered by Chinese Premier Li Qiang at the opening of the annual session, expressed strong support for the development targets and measures outlined in the report, underscoring their optimism about the country’s path forward.
“After listening to the government work report, I felt particularly inspired, especially by the section on further advancing rural revitalization on all fronts. In 2024, the average income of our villagers reached 24,000 yuan (about 3,300 U.S. dollars). The improved lives of our farmers and herders are the result of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s favorable policies. We are more confident than ever in building our village into a model for rural revitalization, ethnic solidarity, and common prosperity,” said deputy Gulimila Dawulieti, also Party official of a village in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
“According to the report, China’s grain output hit a new high of 700 million metric tons in 2024. We stayed committed to modernizing agriculture with an all-encompassing approach, focusing on using sci-tech innovations to increase production capacity. We are confident in our ability to develop key technologies and products for the protection and utilization of black soil. We will accelerate breakthroughs in this regard, so as to shoulder our responsibility as a major agricultural province to ensure our country’s food security,” said deputy Chen Yuhui, also head of the Heilongjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Looking ahead, some deputies stressed the importance of seizing opportunities brought by the country’s development strategies to foster new growth drivers and promote high-quality development.
“We in the telecommunications industry must seize the historic opportunity of artificial intelligence development, develop new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions, and take a lead in sci-tech and industrial innovation,” said deputy Yang Jianyu, also general manager of China Mobile Group Zhejiang Co., Ltd.
“The government work report has outlined the arrangements for the modernized industrial system. The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has unique advantages in building a modernized industrial system. We will take measures to foster emerging and future-oriented industries, promote integrated advancements in sci-tech and industrial innovation, and drive high-quality development,” said deputy Ai Xuefeng, also director of the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission.
“As university researchers, we should strengthen sci-tech innovation with a focus on the country’s major strategic needs, and make continuous efforts in basic research. It is crucial to provide long-term and stable support to bases for basic research and innovation, leading teams, and critical areas, with the goal of achieving more results in original innovation and enhancing the country’s overall competitiveness,” said deputy Zhang Weihong, also vice president of Northwestern Polytechnical University.
Other deputies said they had high expectations for the future development of rural areas, noting that significant improvements have been made thanks to the implementation of supportive government policies.
“As a deputy from a rural village, I pay special attention to the report’s content on industrial development in rural areas. Our village is located in the northwestern mountainous area of Hubei Province. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, we have made significant progress by embracing a green development path and relying on ecological advantages. The barren mountains have transformed into lush green ones. The lives of our villagers improved year by year, becoming happier with more hopes,” said deputy Min Hongyan, also Party official of a village in central China’s Hubei Province.
“The report highlighted the need to create more channels for youth employment and entrepreneurship.

In recent years, more and more young people in the rural areas have used their studies in practices, leading locals in building beautiful villages with thriving industries and high incomes,” said deputy Zhao Chunmei, also Party official of a village in central China’s Hunan Province.
Members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, including Ma Xingrui, Wang Yi, Yin Li, Shi Taifeng, Liu Guozhong, and Li Ganjie, also took part in the deliberations.
