今年两会上，涌现了一批年轻的面孔。他们都出生于90后，有些甚至是95后。二十来岁的年纪，他们已经开始为国家的未来建言献策。

22岁的徐萍来自四川广元市青川县木鱼村，也是今年四川团最年轻的人大代表。

Born in July, 1995, Xu Ping is the youngest deputy among the 148 deputies of China's National People’s Congress (NPC) from southwestern Sichuan Province who came to Beijing for the ongoing Two Sessions.

The 22-year-old came from a village in Qingchuan County in Sichuan Province. 

2008年汶川地震，徐萍的老家青川是受灾最严重的地区之一。经历过灾难，也目睹了家乡的灾后重建。

On May 12, 2008, a devastating magnitude-8 earthquake shook Sichuan, and left many areas destroyed, with Xu’s hometown among the worst-hit areas.

Xu was lucky to survive.

她坦言，“一直以来我都是一个受助者，那我也希望在我进入了社会以后，可以成为一个回馈者。曾经很多事情我是一个变化的见证者，接下来我希望我能够成为变化的推动者。”

She received help and support from local community and the government, which helped her to stay strong as she witnessed the reconstruction of her hometown.

“I have received help during the past 10 years, I hope that I can now help others,” Xu told CGTN Digital during an interview.

她坚信，人大代表的身份可以让她实现这一梦想，帮助她回馈社会。

“I used to witness changes, now I want to push changes. As a deputy of the NPC, I believe I can make this notion a reality and help contribute to the cultural development of the city I’m living in,” she said.

现在的徐萍从事着文化交流相关活动，努力将不同的艺术形式带给各行各业的百姓。

Xu now works for a company that aims to promote cultural exchanges and build platforms between artists and the public. During the two years that she has worked there, she has helped organize many cultural events, showcasing top artists from the musical and performing fields. 

“We hope people enjoy this art no matter where they come from and what they do,” Xu said.

More young people involved

Xu is not the only young deputy born in the 90s, for this year's NPC session.

Yang Changqin from southwestern Guizhou Province was born in 1991. She also appeared at the “deputies corridor” to answer questions from the media, and tell stories of how her village overcame poverty.

Zou Bin from central Hunan Province was born in 1995. He was the youngest of the deputies from Hunan. Born in a village, he had worked as a builder for years and won an award at an international competition for masonry.

According to a report from Southern Weekly, among the 2,980 deputies from across the country, 13 were born in the 90s.
