For NPC deputies and CPPCC members: Can we have uniform specifications for mobile phone batteries and chargers? That would be a better way to tackle the environmental pollution of mobile phones as well as the waste of resources of chargers. For NPC deputies and CPPCC members: Can we have uniform specifications for mobile phone batteries and chargers?

两会委员和政协们,能不能治理手机收费的不合理和资费高的问题,还有就是把手机电池、充电器统一规格和标准呢?这样手机电池污染环境、充电器的资源浪费的问题就能得到改善。 For NPC deputies and CPPCC members: Can we solve issues such as unreasonably high mobile phone fees? Can we have uniform specifications for mobile phone batteries and chargers? That would be a better way to tackle the environmental pollution of mobile phones as well as the waste of resources of chargers.

孩子是家庭的核心,孩子的教育升学问题是困扰很多家庭的一个最最重要的问题。我们可以不买大房子,可以生活的节俭,可以克服很多生活困难,但是孩子的高考升学是等不得的啊,不要再无视这些家庭痛苦了!!希望本届两会对高考户籍限制予以改革! Kids are the core of a family. One of the most important issues frustrating many families is getting their kids admitted to higher-level schools. We may not have a big apartment, we may lead a frugal life or overcome many difficulties in life, but we have no choice but for our kids to take the college entrance examination. Don't ignore the pains of these families anymore! For this year's two sessions, I expect a reform of the residence registration restrictions for students who will take the college entrance examination.

我一直认为,应试与素质并不矛盾,而且是素质之一。世界上哪里不需要考试?关键在于考什么,如何考?还在于考试的结果。成百上千人争一个名额,能不激烈吗?如果先分流了,各得其所,就不会那样。要使人人有出路,但并非上大学一种。 It's been my opinion all along that exam-oriented education is not the opposite of quality education, since the ability to do one's best in the exams is one of the qualities of successful people. There are exams everywhere around the world. The key questions are what and how to test, and how to interpret results. Competition is fierce when there are hundreds of applications for every university place. However, some stress would be relieved if applicants considered a wider diversity of options. Applicants should find their own niche instead of seeing university education as their only choice.

【高官小心】与一曾经当过“正部级”的委员聊天。委员说,“高官交友,千万小心。因为,朋友是因为你这个人还是你这个官而与你交友,你是搞不清楚的。这人品德如何,你也是搞不清楚的。常常交往深而步步跟,如果此人心存不良,你就惨了。”老詹微评:高官交友须谨慎,此语可作座右铭。 【Senior officials should be cautious】I was talking with a CPPCC member who used to be a ministerial-level official. "Be very careful whom you befriend, especially when you're a senior official. You don't really know these so-called friends, and don't know whether they actually care about you as a person or just care about your position. Such 'friends' with ulterior motives can get you into huge trouble," the delegate said. My conclusion: Senior officials should take this as their motto.
