Question

Good news for all Chinese middle school students in the countryside. They don't have to pay for school education anymore.51-year-old Ren Yuqi is even happier than the students. It was Ren who suggested the idea to the government about this.

    Ren is not a government official but the boss of a big company in Hunan. He talks to the government as a deputy（代表） of the National People's Congress（NPC, 全國人民代表大會）. He is in Beijing for the NPC's yearly meeting.

"This year I have 20 suggestions for making farmers' lives and the environment better. They all come from studying country people's lives," said Ren.

Ren went to several provinces to find out how people lived in the countryside. He saw that many children dropped out of school because they were poor. So at the last NPC meeting he suggested the government spend more money helping kids get back to school. Most of the NPC deputies agreed to it. So the government adopted it and made it law.

Ren, just like the other 2,977 NPC members, was elected by the Chinese people. The upper-level（較高級別的） deputies were chosen by the lower-level ones.

    At NPC meetings, deputies also take part in making and changing laws. They help decide on the slate leaders and public policies（政策） as well.
