When Village Football Scores Big for Rural Revitalization 🏆
Meng Aijun, a CPPCC National Committee member, isn’t just cheering from the sidelines at Rongjiang County’s buzzing Village Super League (VSL) matches. He’s on a mission to turn grassroots sports into a catalyst for rural growth. Last year, his proposal to blend ethnic culture with tourism helped Guizhou Province attract 9.26 million tourists, boosting revenue by 27% 💰. Now, he’s doubling down: 'We’re exploring how VSL can sustain local economies long-term,' Meng says.
Consultation Meets Action 🗣️✨
The CPPCC, China’s top political advisory body, thrives on collaboration. In 2024 alone, its 85 consultative events tackled everything from traditional medicine to high-tech agriculture. Take Dr. Zhang Mianzhi, who pushed for integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with Western practices at a June symposium. 'These discussions spark real change,' he notes, as ministries and experts hash out actionable solutions.
From Black Soil to Bright Futures 🌱
CPPCC member Jiang Ming’s 2023 proposal to protect northeast China’s fertile 'black soil' transformed into national policy by 2024. His fieldwork across 30+ regions led to groundbreaking strategies for sustainable farming. Jiang’s efforts highlight the CPPCC’s knack for turning grassroots insights into nationwide progress—proving that modernization isn’t just about tech, but people.
As China wraps its 14th Five-Year Plan, the CPPCC remains a bridge between citizens and policymakers, ensuring every voice fuels the nation’s journey forward 🚀.
