With the exception of Kuang Shen, all the other members of the parliament said goodbye to the Parliament. Li Zhirong, the father who claimed to be autistic, went to the primary election with scalp, hoping that the parliament will not only talk about politics, but about people’s livelihood. wise."
What do these 286 votes reflect? Li Zhirong said: "We can only say that we are part of the changing times."
Today, when her daughter is away, Li Zhirong goes from the construction site to the parliamentary government. It is not easy to go all the way, just to continue the second life given by her daughter.
