Chen Xueping, an NPC deputy, said she felt that the Party and government have taken every aspect and detail, such as the renovation of rural toilets, into consideration in implementing the rural revitalization strategy.

"It is very thoughtful of General Secretary Xi to consider these trivial things for the people," said Chen, who is also a painter for a real estate company in Jinan.

"I come from the rural area, and I feel good about the development of different aspects such as environmental protection in the past five years," she added.
