  Participating in the report of the Third Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in 2020 is the "first experience" of the two sessions in my career as a journalist.

  For the first time, it was special and memorable; when the first time encountered an "unusual moment", this experience was especially precious.

  I have been engaged in overseas Chinese affairs news reporting for nearly three years, from the initial "little knowledge" to gradually understanding the group of overseas Chinese, and then to deep understanding of their deep feelings for the ancestral (country) country, I slowly began to This group produces special emotions.

  The new coronary pneumonia epidemic in 2020 is a big test for everyone. Overseas Chinese were once on the cusp of news public opinion. Because I have been talking with them, what I have seen and heard is the overseas Chinese who donated money and donations, or solidarity against the epidemic, and wrote touching stories of overcoming hardships and helping each other with Chinese compatriots and local people .

  Today, the domestic epidemic prevention and control situation continues to improve, and the two sessions of the country are finally convened. The domestic people are happy for it, and the overseas Chinese are also very encouraged. Earlier, when the news of the upcoming two sessions came out, several overseas Chinese friends from Brazil, Spain, and Japan said with emotion in their conversation with me: "The two sessions are about to be held, and the time for China is finally over."

  According to the practice in previous years, the two sessions of the country will invite overseas Chinese to attend the meeting. In principle, "Every overseas Chinese compatriot can usually only attend once in his life", so they cherish this glory and hope to use the important platform for political participation and deliberation of the two associations to speak for overseas Chinese and build and develop for their ancestral (country) country. Suggestions.

  However, this year, due to the need for epidemic prevention and control, overseas Chinese cannot return. Even so, in the two sessions of the National Conference in 2020, the "overseas voice" has not diminished. The China News Service also specially developed the "Two Associations · Overseas Chinese Voice" column to convey the voice of overseas Chinese.

  As a reporter of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Department of the China News Service, naturally he is more concerned about the concerns of overseas Chinese. According to the corresponding hot spots, the department planned the topic selection in advance, and the subdivisions were subdivided; according to the list of overseas Chinese committee members and related topic selections, the reporters also began to contact in advance ...

  Before arriving at the two sessions, as the "rookie" of the two sessions, I made countless ideas for myself, how to spend this special two sessions. And when it really arrived, it was also found that the gear of time was invisible, and everything became simple and pure.

  At the opening of the third session of the 13th National People's Congress, I had been standing in front of the computer, paying special attention to the content of overseas Chinese mentioned in the government work report. The government work report mentioned overseas Chinese compatriots several times, fully affirmed their contribution to the fight against the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, and sincerely thanked the overseas Chinese compatriots. Hearing this, I also became happy with the overseas Chinese.

  Among the several representatives interviewed, there are several chairmen of local overseas Chinese federations. When talking about the anti-epidemic of overseas Chinese, the voice over the phone was filled with emotion. I think that for decades of serving overseas Chinese, they have poured too much affection towards overseas Chinese.

  Many representatives of the National People's Congress and members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference also paid attention to topics related to overseas Chinese, including the proposal to amend the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Rights and Interests of Returned Overseas Chinese Dependents", the construction of the "Belt and Road" and the protection of the rights and interests of overseas Chinese, foreign investors, and overseas students Development and other issues.

  The lovely overseas Chinese in the "Friends Circle" also pay attention to the news of the two sessions of the country. At the opening of the third session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and at the opening of the third session of the 13th National People's Congress, when referring to overseas Chinese in the government work report, when I heard that China is going to win a full-scale well-off society and fight against poverty ... Be active, forward, follow, and like, exuding the pride of being a Chinese child.

  When I was eating in the restaurant in the morning, I received a WeChat message from an overseas Chinese who had not contacted for a long time and had attended the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress: "I haven't contacted for a long time, okay? Work hard during the two sessions, pay attention to my body!"

  My heart was slightly warm. I think this is perhaps the best solace for overseas Chinese journalists. (Finish)
