BEIJING, Oct. 12-- The Communist Party of China (CPC) is set to hold its 19th National Congress this month. The five-yearly political event is expected to pave the way for China's future development. During the year, 2,287 delegates have been selected to attend this year's congress to be held in Beijing starting Oct. 18. Attendees will include high-ranking government officials, Party leaders, and military officers as well as grassroots Party members from "frontline production and manufacturing" such as workers, farmers, technicians, nurses and teachers. According to a circular issued by the CPC Central Committee in November 2016, frontline workers should account for no less than one-third of the delegates. A total of 771 grassroots delegates have been selected from various social sectors, accounting for 33.7 percent of the total, up by 3.2 percentage points from five years ago. The voices of grassroots delegates, especially those who have made achievements in reforms, scientific innovation and poverty alleviation, are expected to gather wisdom and increase the strength of China's overall reform across all social sectors. While these delegates all share their belief in Marxism and contribution to the people, each has a story to tell. INTERNET CELEBRITY For some of China's college students, Party theory classes may not be a fun part of their campus life. But this is not the case for students at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. |
