During the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress, delegations held a series of smaller breakout sessions.

China Daily's foreign reporter Stephanie Stone headed to the smaller breakout sessions for the Chongqing, Fujian and Hainan delegations, gaining valuable insights.

 
The events brought together deputies from diverse sectors — including catering, research and taxi services — to discuss national affairs.

 
This very diversity is a vivid reflection of Chinese democracy and is a key reason for Stephanie's annual participation in the “two sessions”，the annual meetings of the nation’s top legislature and top political advisory body.
