Cheng Ju (R), a newly-elected deputy to the 13th National People's Congress (NPC), talks with deputy Cheng Mengxing after a panel discussion in Beijing, capital of China, March 12, 2018. Cheng Mengxing and Cheng Ju have a similar experience of returning hometown to start their careers. Cheng Ju, born in 1990, comes from Dashi Village of Chongyang County in Xianning City, central China's Hubei Province. In 2014, she gave up high-paying job in south China's Guangzhou and returned to her hometown to work as a village Party secretary. Cheng's new job has been confronted with challenges as Dashi Village was once a widely known poverty-stricken village. Over the past three years, she led the villagers to develop local collective economy by building a solar power base and a tea plantation. Infrastructure was also greatly enhanced with roads paved and a service center established. Under the leadership of Cheng, 106 people from 35 households at the village shook off poverty. Apart from helping develop local industry, Cheng also focuses on the improvement of environment and the development of local tourism resources. She believes that the village can rely on it natural landscape to attract more tourists once the environment gets better. As a newly-elected deputy to China's top legislature National People's Congress, one of Cheng's proposals to this year's NPC is to build a more complete system of garbage classification in rural areas.
