All the Chinese middle school students in the countryside dont have to pay for school any more. 51-year-old Ren Yuqi is even happier than the students. It was he 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 Peoples Congress(全国人民代表大会). He is in Beijing for the NPCs yearly meeting.

“This year I have 20 suggestions for making farmers lives and the environment better. They all come from studying country peoples 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 on helping kids get back to school. Most of the NPC deputies agreed to it,the government adopted and made it law.

The Chinese people elected Ren one of their deputies,just like they did the other 2,977 NPC members. The lower-level(较低级别的) deputies chose the upper-level ones.

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