Wu Depei, member of the CPPCC National Committee and director of the hematology department at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University

An emergency blood collection mechanism must be set up as soon as possible. When the available blood supply falls below the warning level, every level of government should activate the emergency response mechanism, encourage blood donations from departments and groups, and reward personnel who participate in emergency donation drives. Civil servants and other public employees should be encouraged to donate blood when there is a shortage. Those not physically qualified to give blood can participate in related services.

We should devise the overall protection of cultural resources and level up the protection of cultural heritage. Different regional cultural and environmental protection zones, each with its own distinctive characteristics, should be set up to promote the integration of regional cultures including Central Plains and Wuyue cultures, creating a culture of unity through diversity.

Wei Zhenling, member of the CPPCC National Committee and director of the seventh procuratorial department of the People's Procuratorate in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region

Raising children and caring for the elderly should be treated as important statutory requirements when applying for early retirement. For example, if an employee wishes to apply for conditional retirement before the legal age, they should be able to prove that there are children, grandchildren or elderly relatives at home requiring their care. Under these circumstances, employees should be granted conditional retirement as long as the necessary documents are submitted.

Lyu Zhongmei, NPC deputy and vice-chairwoman of the Central Committee of Chinese Peasants and Workers Democratic Party

Eco-environmental protection remains an arduous task, and due to severe challenges, the lack of systematic, integrated, collaborative and time-effective legislation on the eco-environment is becoming increasingly prominent. China urgently needs to create a legal system for eco-environmental protection that comprehensively protects the ecosystem.
