Power is fine, but duty is more important

Wang Ying is extremely happy. She is a 40-year-old Bai minority doctor attached to a clinic in Southwest China's Yunnan Province. But that's not the reason why she's happy. Rather the satisfaction of playing a role in setting up rural clinics across the province is.

As a deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC) for four years, Wang has conducted research on medical resources and highlighted the lack of healthcare in Yunnan's remote areas.

"I'm glad to see the health ministry and NPC listing my motions and taking steps to tackle the problem. Now rural clinics have been set up across the province," says Wang, unable to hide her smile. The clinics set up through her efforts have benefited millions of rural residents.
