A delegation from North China's Shanxi province to the fifth session of the 13th National People's Congress (NPC) arrived in Beijing on March 3 to submit motions and serve as the voice of the Shanxi people.

Before the annual session, deputies from Shanxi investigated topics related to socioeconomic development and local people's concerns.

They will make suggestions to this year's NPC, which will begin on March 5, in an effort to overcome obstacles to development.

For example, deputy Yang Linhua, director of the Institute of Hematology at Shanxi Medical University, will submit two motions on amending criminal law and blood donation law.

"I hope my suggestions will contribute to the development of the country, and I look forward to China's early victory against the COVID-19 epidemic so that people across the country can enjoy a happy and healthy life," she said.
