In the season of the Waking of Insects, everything comes to life.
On the morning of March 5, before the opening of the second session of the 14th National People's Congress, spring rain hit the square outside the east gate of the Great Hall of the People and the temperature was slightly cold, but the interaction between NPC deputies and reporters remained unabated.
New productivity, private economy, green and low-carbon transformation, rural revitalization... reporters were interviewing representatives and heard these hot words from time to time.
"My suggestion is that rural areas should strengthen the collective economy and scientific and technological talents should go to rural areas." Li Liancheng of the Henan delegation told a reporter from China News Service as he walked to the venue.
Facing the drizzle, Liu Xiya from the Chongqing delegation recorded her mood in a vlog.
In the past year, she visited 14 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities including Tibet, Gansu, and Guizhou for research, and incorporated the expectations of teachers and students in various regions for better education development into suggestions.
In Liu Xiya's view, the two sessions represent a new beginning for the year, and she looks forward to bringing the collected voices to the conference.

In the square, representatives and reporters answered questions, while in the Great Hall of the People, the interaction between Chinese and foreign reporters and NPC deputies was even more lively.
Entering from the east gate of the Great Hall of the People, a "representative passage" comes into view. This is the seventh year of its opening.
National People's Congress deputies from different regions and different industries took to the aisle to tell their stories of performing their duties.
“To become a world automotive power, we must hold key core technologies in our own hands”, “unswervingly carry out independent innovation, strive for self-reliance in high-level science and technology and the development of new productive forces” and “do a good job in intergenerational exchanges of cultural heritage. Inherit and let more people feel the charm of traditional culture"... The central hall of the Great Hall of the People became "lively" with vivid words and vivid stories.

The blueprint has been drawn, how to construct it?
Chinese and foreign reporters, who have long been familiar with the situation, have become accustomed to looking for more detailed answers in the "ministerial channel".
“A national water network will be built by 2035”, “Continue to increase the minimum purchase price of wheat and early rice”, “Encourage qualified units to invest more than half of their basic scientific research business expenses on young people under the age of 35”…
For more than an hour after the opening meeting, the four ministers faced social hot spots, responded to external concerns, and made official voices.
Political voices and public opinions gathered inside and outside the Great Hall of the People, allowing the outside world to clearly feel the pulse of China's development.
