Now that the two sessions are half over, it's easy for deputies to feel tired and slack off. But absence without leave is definitely not excusable. The session is held only once a year. As a deputy to the NPC, you are here on behalf of the people so you are duty bound to attend the session. You must perform your duty well, otherwise you should give up the position. 两会已经过去了一半，这时候代表们比较疲劳，很容易懈怠。但是擅离职守绝对是不容许的。两会一年就开一次，作为全国人大代表，你们是代表人民的，有责任参加会议。要履行好自己的责任，不然就别当代表。 Xia Baolong, NPC deputy and Party chief of Zhejiang province 全国人大代表、浙江省委书记夏宝龙 It has been reported that some Chinese go to Japan to buy rice and toilet lids, but that doesn't mean Chinese manufacturers are incapable of producing these products. What we lack is creativity. We need to supply all professionals and trades with excellent staff to promote their healthy, sustainable development in an innovative way. 近期有报道说有些中国人去日本购买大米和马桶盖，这并不代表我们没有能力生产和加工这些产品，而是缺少这样的创造力，这就需要一批批的优秀人员补充到各行各业去，推动每个行业的健康、持续的创新型发展。 Hao Shiyuan, CPPCC National Committee member and assistant to the president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences |
