An unbreakable spirit

A voice for change

Wang is currently in Beijing attending the fifth session of the 13th National People's Congress, which runs until Friday.

This year, he proposed to refine the classification and grading standard of disabilities, so that people with physical challenges can benefit from more targeted preferential policies and financial assistance from the government.

He also pays attention to the care of elderly people with mental challenges that often lack income and daily life skills, which can burden their family. Wang has proposed building more nursing institutions for these people, which also provide treatment and care for common chronic diseases.

A third proposal of his reflects his observation and advice on introducing high-end talent to join domestic development. He especially attaches importance to the roles of embassies, consulates and social groups, including NGOs, as well as domestic educational institutions with global recognition.

For years, alongside dozens of his fellow deputies, Wang has been promoting legislation for barrier-free environment construction at the national level, and it remains a hot topic this year, especially with the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games taking place at the same time as the NPC.

A Legal Daily report says that the social development affairs committee of the NPC has carried out early-stage research for the legislation, and Lyu, a Standing Committee member of the 13th NPC, told media that, as barrier-free environment construction progresses, local regulations are largely increased and the concept is popularized, it's time to accelerate the legislation.

Moreover, in 2021, Wang had also suggested that the procuratorial organs pay more attention to public welfare lawsuits in this field.
