With the conclusion of the fifth session of the 13th National People's Congress on the morning of the 11th, China's "two sessions" in 2022 have come to a successful conclusion.
This also means that the National Two Sessions have gone through another five years.
Five years is the time scale for a representative committee member to perform his duties, and it is also a customary interval for people to observe China's development trajectory.
Through these five years of the National People's Congress, the outside world has been able to perceive and understand China from different dimensions.

The five-year Two Sessions allow people to see the convergence of national policies and public opinion.
Severely crack down on the trafficking of women and children, guarantee employment opportunities for job seekers over 35 years old, and encourage kindergartens to open more nursery classes... These days, the voices of the representative committee members have been hotly searched, which has aroused strong social resonance.
Over the years, the focus issues that people are most concerned about have been written into government work reports and resolved.
In this year's government work report, a series of "gift packages" for people's livelihood, such as education, medical care, housing, pension, and child support, not only cover a wide range, but also hit the current pain points of people's livelihood.
National policies resonate with public opinion, which has become the norm in the democratic conference halls of the two sessions of the country.
This is a process of gathering people's wisdom and public opinion, a process of scientific decision-making and democratic decision-making by the government, and a process of clarifying goals, forming consensus, and finally moving forward together.
It is easy to discuss things, and everyone's affairs should be discussed by everyone, so as to find the greatest common divisor of the wishes and requirements of the whole society.
Over the past five years, the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress have ensured that the will and demands of the people are fully expressed, and that public opinion is integrated into the country's top-level design.
The whole process of people's democracy in China is thus more vividly presented.
The five-year two sessions will let people see the convergence between China and the world.
During the two sessions this year, mainstream media around the world reported the content of the Chinese government work report for the first time, paying particular attention to China's GDP growth target in 2022.
In the context of the global response to various challenges, the world turns its attention to China, which is the first to recover, and seeks "inspiration" to revive the economy.
The National People's Congress, which is the "wind vane" of economic and social development, provides an excellent window for them to observe and understand China.
The world listens to China through the two sessions, and China also speaks to the world through the two sessions.
Since the epidemic, the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress have opened a "lite version" for three consecutive years.
Although the number of journalists has been greatly reduced due to the need to prevent and control the epidemic, the conference still specially reserved a part of the quota for foreign media in Beijing; although the number of press conferences was reduced, it still reserved time for China's foreign policy and foreign relations issues.
The "transparent" information field also reflects an open attitude.
Despite the force majeure of the epidemic, China has, as always, actively communicated with the world at the National People's Congress in recent years, expressed its own views candidly, and injected more certainties into the world.
"If the world is good, China will be good; if China is good, the world will be better", when the busy information is spread from Spring Beijing to all parts of the world, such a relationship logic has been implied.
The five-year two sessions allow people to see the convergence of history and future.
A century of changes superimposed a century of epidemics, human history was rewritten without warning, and China's economic development was once faced with unprecedented challenges.
Facing the unknown and the future, the successful holding of the National People's Congress, an annual event in China's political life, is itself a "blessing" of confidence.
And the "wealth" left by the two sessions in the past five years will further stimulate China's development.
A "Civil Code of the People's Republic of China" fulfills the long-cherished wish of several generations of new China, and will protect every citizen with a more complete legal framework; a "14th Five-Year Plan" and an outline of the long-term goals for 2035, in the opening of a new era. At the same time of the journey, it depicts a more happier and futuristic China...
From the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it is the historical convergence period of the "two centenary" goals.
The two sessions in the past five years are exactly in it.
This year is the year of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Looking back at a critical moment, the strength accumulated by those "convergence" will promote China to better move towards the future.
