Guangdong NPC deputy focuses on lives of migrant workers

Over the past three years, Li Xianlan's suggestions to the National People's Congress, the top legislature, were almost all about migrant workers' lives and their children's education in cities.

"As a grassroots deputy to the NPC, I'm very concerned about how migrant workers can live better and their children can receive better education in cities," Li said.

Li, 37, also deputy head of the female workers' office of the labor union of GAC Honda, a joint venture between Chinese carmaker GAC Group and Japanese automobile powerhouse Honda, said the suggestions were generated from her time working on a sewing production line for more than a decade.
