他是一届政协代表中惟一的一位高山族代表。1949年9月参加中国人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议时,他刚满20岁,是第一届全国政协代表中年龄最小的一位。他还是极少数连任一至八届全国人大代表的代表之一,并连续44年任一至八届全国人大民族委员会委员,是我国人大历史上专门委员会委员任职时间最长的一位。 He is the only representative of the Gaoshan clan represented by the CPPCC National Committee. At the first plenary session of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference held in September 1949, he just turned 20 and was the youngest member of the first CPPCC National Committee. He is also one of the very few representatives to be elected to the Eighth National People’s Congress for a few consecutive years and has been appointed one of the eight members of the National Committee of the NPC for 44 consecutive years. He is the longest-serving member of the NPC Standing Committee in history.
