Nong Jiagui, NPC deputy, teacher at a village primary school in Yunnan province

I have been a primary school teacher for 40 years and have witnessed how knowledge has transformed the lives of children in the mountainous village. The Luosongdi Primary School, where I have worked, has transformed from a dilapidated building with leaky roofs and cracked walls into a spacious and bright modern teaching facility. I will continue to advocate rural education and serve the people wholeheartedly. I will persevere: "Devoted to my original aspiration, one teacher for one school for a lifetime."

Gao Derong, NPC deputy, researcher at Lixiahe Agricultural Research Institute in Jiangsu province

We have been improving wheat varieties to ensure people not only have enough to eat, but also eat well. My previous suggestion to increase national investment in high-standard farmland construction was adopted, raising funding from 26,250 yuan to 45,000 yuan ($3,806 to $6,524) per hectare. I will continue to deeply cultivate the wheat fields, allowing the land to produce more grain and farmers to earn more income.

Dong Jin, NPC deputy, head of the Beijing Academy of Blockchain and Edge Computing

China now possesses advanced blockchain technologies and has applied them across many public and business sectors. With the continuous expansion of applications, a nationwide blockchain network has taken shape to record and safeguard the country's high-value core data about cross-border trades and global payments.

Wang Wenyi, NPC deputy, pilot from the People's Liberation Army Air Force

As a J-16 fighter pilot, my deepest feeling is that the more rigorously we conduct combat training, the more capable we become to fight and win. During a recent long-range operation over the open sea, when the task was completed, night fell and our fighter jets returned to base, I looked at the countless lights of homes in the distance and I felt that we, the PLA members, are guardians of the happiness of every Chinese family. Despite the heavy duties and stringent training, my heart is always occupied by a strong sense of mission and pride.
