Belt and Road Initiative students visit Henan's top legislature

 

"How are National People's Congress (NPC) deputies elected?" "What is the legislative process?" "How frequently does the NPC Standing Committee convene?" ...

“人大代表是怎样选出来的？”“立法的过程有哪些？”“常委会会议多久召开一次？”……

On the morning of June 28, twenty one international students from eight Belt and Road countries, who are currently studying in Central China's Henan Province, visited the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, Henan's top legislature. During their visit, they toured the History Exhibition Hall and the Deputies' Home, and also participated in a simulated voting session in the Meeting Hall of the Standing Committee.

6月28日，来自“一带一路”共建的8个国家的21名在豫留学生走进河南省人大常委会机关，参观历史陈列室、代表之家，走进常委会会议厅进行模拟表决。

The History Exhibition Hall emanates a quiet solemnity, with rows of display cabinets showcasing various valuable artifacts and historical photos. Videos playing throughout the hall vividly record memories of the era, while silent historical relics narrate tales of times past.

历史陈列室静谧而庄重，一排排陈列柜里，摆放着各种珍贵的文物和照片；一段段影像资料，记录着时代的记忆；一件件见证人大历史的文物，静静地诉说着过往的故事。

 

"I learned about Henan's legislative history and law-making process here at the History Exhibition Hall, and I found their approach to legislation quite distinctive," said RASULJONOV AKRAMJON from Uzbekistan.

“在这里（历史陈列室）我了解了河南立法的历史以及过程，我感觉立法的内容很有地方特色。”来自乌兹别克斯坦的阿克罗姆说。

 

At the Deputies' Home, staff members introduced the functions of grassroots contact platform in enhancing the whole-process people's democracy. Captivated, the international students took photos, impressed by the convenience and efficiency of the digital tools. This experience expanded their understanding of the responsibilities of NPC deputies bear in serving the public.

在代表之家，工作人员向留学生们介绍了全过程人民民主基层联络平台的功能，他们边听讲解边拍照，感叹数字化平台带来的便利高效，同时，也对人大代表如何履职有了更加深入的了解。

 

"Voting will now commence on the 'Draft Resolution Concerning the Regulation on the Construction and Management of Sponge City in XX City'." With guidance from the staff, the international students participated in a simulated voting exercise within the dignified setting of the Standing Committee's Meeting Hall.

“现在开始表决‘关于批准《xx市海绵城市建设管理条例》的决议草案’请付表决。”在工作人员的引导下，留学生们在常委会会议厅进行模拟表决。

 

Green signifies "yes", red denotes "no", and yellow indicates "abstain". CIPUTRA TOMMY from Indonesia solemnly pressed the voting button. "The voting experience is new to me, and I find it quite fascinating," said him.

绿色代表“赞成”，红色表示“反对”，黄色表示“弃权”——来自印度尼西亚的徐诚庄重地按下按钮。“投票的过程对我来说是次全新的体验，我感觉参与其中很有趣。”徐诚说道。

 

After the visit, the international students actively engaged in an interactive session with the staff, who provided detailed explanations to their inquiries. "The international students' experience today, including the History Exhibition Hall tour and the simulated voting session, will deepen their comprehension of China's NPC system and the implementation of the whole-process people's democracy in Henan," said Zhao Yihong, an official from the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Henan Province.

参观结束的互动环节，留学生们带着好奇纷纷进行提问，工作人员耐心解答。“同学们通过参观人大历史陈列室、代表之家和常委会会议厅，沉浸式模拟体验了法规表决等会议程序，相信他们会更加深入地了解人民代表大会制度的运行规则，会更加直观地感受到全过程人民民主在河南的生动实践。”河南省人大常委会民侨外事工委外侨处处长赵一鸿表示。（中文来源/大河网 记者/贺志泉 王紫仪 李恒 编译/杨佳欣 张雅涵 审校/丁岚 赵汉青）
