Perched on a cliff in southwest China's Sichuan Province, Gulu Village was once so isolated that residents had to climb rattan ladders to reach the outside world.
Today, a cableway has cut the journey down to just three minutes, and the village has become a growing rural tourism destination.
At China's annual Two Sessions, Zheng Wangchun, a deputy to the National People's Congress, is bringing the story of his village and the concerns of rural communities like it to the national stage.
From better roads and internet access to elderly care in rural areas, grassroots deputies' proposals are helping shape policies for the next stage of China's rural revitalization.
