从25岁第一次当全国人大代表到现在,全国唯一一位连续当选一至十届全国人大代表的山西省平顺县西沟村党总支副书记申纪兰被誉为中国人民代表大会制度的“见证人”。今年已经78岁的这位全国著名劳模一直情系“三农”,用多半生的时间见证了中国民主法制建设的进程。今年全国两会上,她不仅依然十分关注“三农”,而且成了很多代表、委员请教的“老师”,她用人生经历告诉大家“民主确实是个好东西”。 For the first time since the age of 25, when NPC deputies up till now, Shen Jilan, the deputy chief of the Party branch of Xigou Village in Pingshun County of Shanxi Province, the only representative of the country that has been elected successively from the 10th to the 10th, has been hailed as the “ witness”. This well-known model worker at the age of 78 this year has always been a part of “three rural issues.” He used most of his life time to witness the progress of the construction of China's democratic legal system. At this year's NPC and CPPCC sessions, she not only paid great attention to agriculture, rural areas and peasants, but also became the “teacher” whom many deputies and committee members consulted about. She used her personal experience to tell people that “democracy is indeed a good thing.”
