What changes will it bring to our lives?
"Current Affairs News Eye" for you to interpret.
This year the National Two Sessions created many "firsts"
On December 26 last year, a message quickly swept the screen-"The National Two Sessions in 2021 will be held as scheduled in March."
Affected by the epidemic, last year the National Two Sessions were postponed for more than two months.
This year, the two sessions resumed to be held in March, which shortened the duration of the session compared to before the epidemic.
The National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, which usually opened on March 3, was changed to open on March 4. This is the first time since 1998.
The National People's Congress continued the practice of opening on March 5 before the epidemic.

This year's two sessions are also the first national two sessions that our country has entered into a new stage of development.
Last fall, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Party deliberated and approved the "14th Five-Year Plan" proposal.
An important agenda of the two sessions this year is to review and discuss the draft of the "14th Five-Year Plan", to make the party's propositions the will of the state through legal procedures, and the "road map" to be a "construction map."

In November last year, the Central Work Conference on the Comprehensive Rule of Law clarified the guiding role of Xi Jinping’s rule of law in the comprehensive rule of law.
This year's two sessions are the first national two sessions held since Xi Jinping's rule of law was clearly put forward.
There is another important background for the two sessions this year: on the eve of the two sessions, Xi Jinping solemnly declared at the National Poverty Alleviation Summary and Commendation Conference that my country has won a comprehensive victory in the fight against poverty.
What the outside world is generally concerned about is how will the first two sessions of the country be held after winning the fight against poverty? How will the next step be laid out?

These important results were born in the two sessions of the first year
On the afternoon of March 11, with bursts of warm applause, a number of reports, outlines, and decisions were passed at the closing meeting of the Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress.
government working report
This year's government work report continues the style of last year's "do not escape, do what is necessary".
"Let the market players operate with peace of mind and move forward with light clothing", "Do everything possible to increase the income of hundreds of millions of farmers, and make progress" "Do our best to help new citizens, young people, etc., alleviate housing difficulties" "Grass-roots loosening and burden reduction"... one measure has warmed the hearts of the people.

"14th Five-Year Plan" Outline
The "14th Five-Year Plan" proposal is mainly to manage the general direction and set the strategy. The "14th Five-Year Plan" outline is mainly to quantify the main goals and major tasks of economic and social development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
"Current Affairs News Eye" noted that the draft plan outlines 20 major indicators of economic and social development during the 14th Five-Year Plan.
What is remarkable is that in the "economic development" indicators, the five-year average annual growth rate of GDP is not set as an expected indicator, but described as "maintained within a reasonable range and proposed in each year according to the situation."
This way of expression is the first in the history of the five-year plan.

Decision on Improving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's Electoral System
Last year's National People's Congress passed a decision on establishing and improving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's legal system and enforcement mechanism for safeguarding national security.
After a lapse of more than nine months, another Hong Kong-related decision was again passed with a high vote. This step was to ensure that "Hong Kong people rule Hong Kong" with patriots as the mainstay.
Like the enactment of the Hong Kong National Security Law last year, the improvement of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's electoral system will also adopt a "decision + amendment" approach, which will be advanced and completed step by step.
Amendments to the two basic laws of the People's Congress system
The closing meeting on March 11 also voted to pass the decision on amending the Organic Law of the National People's Congress and the decision on amending the rules of procedure of the National People's Congress.
This is the first revision of these two laws in more than 30 years.
This revision not only fully reflects the changes in the system and institutional reforms, but also fully embodies the concept of democracy in the whole process.
Summarizing the practical experience of the two sessions last year, the revised rules of procedure have also supplemented and improved the appropriate streamlining of meeting procedures and improving the quality and efficiency of conference proceedings.
