A senior Chinese leader is urging more publications to depict and promote the daily lives and contributions of members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
Jia Qinglin, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee and member of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Political Bureau, made the remarks at the meeting on the publication of the book A Day in the Life of a CPPCC Member.
The two-volume book, comprising 79 articles selected from more than 200 contributed by CPPCC members from different social sectors, depicts their achievements and daily lives in economic and social construction in the past five years.
Chen Kuiyuan, vice-chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, said publications on CPPCC members' achievements had contributed to the building of a consolidated patriotic united front.
The publication of the book was a successful attempt to depict the lives of CPPCC members to the public, Chen said.
Present at the meeting was Wang Zhongyu, vice-chairman of the CPPCC National Committee.
