National People’s Congress Deputy Xie Jian has dedicated nearly four decades to running post office services across some of the Chinese mainland's remotest islands. Hailing from Wailingding Island in southern Guangdong Province, Xie has been the lifeline connecting these isolated communities to the wider world.
Throughout his tenure, Deputy Xie has submitted more than 20 motions to China's top legislature, addressing critical regional issues. His advocacy spans the integration of the Greater Bay Area, highlighting the importance of cohesive economic and infrastructural development among neighboring regions. Additionally, Xie is a vocal proponent of marine conservation and sustainable aquaculture, initiatives crucial for preserving the delicate marine ecosystems surrounding the islands.
CGTN reporter Xu Hua recently traveled to Wailingding Island to witness firsthand the impact of Xie Jian’s dedication. The post office, under his management, not only provides essential communication services but also serves as a community hub, fostering connectivity and support among residents. Deputy Xie's unwavering commitment exemplifies the profound difference one individual can make in enhancing the quality of life in remote areas.
