"My research is where the staff are." Cheng Weidong said that the three suggestions he brought to the 2023 National People's Congress and the CPPCC were all based on the observation, thinking and summary of the investigation at the grass-roots level and in the communication with the staff. He believes that if you want to put forward good suggestions, you should really go deep into the grass-roots front line, make friends and communicate more with employees, and extract the situations and problems they want to reflect. (Reported by Workers' Daily on February 25)

"Where the staff are, my research is", well said! If deputies to the National People's Congress want to convey the "voice" of workers, they must first hear their "voice". These "voices" cannot be heard when sitting in the office, and it is hard to avoid "distortion" when only looking at the materials on the paper. Only like Cheng Weidong, when we go to the grass-roots level and get close to the workers, can we see the most real working and living conditions of the workers; Only by making friends with employees can employees be willing to communicate with representatives. Because of this, representatives can break their own life circle and experience limitations, and dig out the "real problems" that the employees are anxious for.

Some of the problems raised by employees are common to the whole industry and its development. The more the representatives communicate with the staff, the more comprehensive and thorough their understanding of the problem will be. Only the suggestions put forward by the representatives can identify the root causes of the problem and avoid "headache and foot pain". Moreover, the process of communication with employees is also the process of the representative's suggestions being demonstrated and improved, and the proposal thus completed will be more penetrating and withstand scrutiny.

Run more grass roots and "sit on the same bench" with the staff, so that they can really know what they are thinking, how to put forward suggestions and where to go. Last year, three suggestions put forward by Cheng Weidong were answered by relevant departments. All the proposals have made great contributions to the communication with the staff and workers. At the time of the two sessions of the National People's Congress, there should be more and more practical advice and suggestions.
