Sun Xiaohong

Question: Where are you from?

Answer: Jinoluoke Township of Jinghong County in the Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province.

Question: What is your profession?

Answer: A Chinese-language teacher at the Primary School of Jinoluoke Township.

Question: What is the issue of most concern to people in your area of China?

Answer: The people in my area are now most concerned about the farm-to-forest conversion project. As you know, the government now calls for the peasants in mountainous areas to convert farming fields to forests. It’s not a surprise that many peasants in my area are worrying about how they can find new sources of income once the project is carried out.

Question: What proposals have you made, or what did you hope to accomplish at this session?

Answer: I put forward six proposals at the session. And I think two of them -- one is about the construction of the Jinghong-Mohan part of National Highway 213, and the other is about the project of the Jinghong Hydropower Station at the Lancang River (the Mekong River) -- are really important. Moreover, I said in the group discussions that I hope the government will help peasants solve the problems they will meet in the farm-to-forest conversion project and provide more support to ethnic minority groups.

Question: What have you seen achieved over the last five years?

Answer: I did receive replies to my proposals but few of them have been adopted.

Question: When the Conference is not in session, how do you exercise your responsibilities as a CPPCC member?

Answer: I don’t conduct investigations or attend meetings often because I’m always busy with teaching my students. The local people can visit me, and we might come across each other on some occasions. I just pick up their opinions and transmit to the government.

Question: What is your hope for the future?

Answer: I think I won’t be here next year. I will try my best to do my own job well to be a good teacher.
