As China sets the dates for the 2026 Two Sessions, the country's most important annual political meetings, deputies to the National People's Congress (NPC) are stepping up their preparations.

In one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Chan Yung, a veteran NPC deputy and a member of Hong Kong's newly formed eighth-term Legislative Council, is visiting the community, listening to residents' concerns and turning grassroots voices into policy suggestions to take to Beijing.

From youth opportunities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to elderly care across the border, this is how Hong Kong lawmakers bring public voices from local communities to the national stage.
