Delegate speaks for migrant workers

Xie Liying paints designs on porcelain for overseas customers every day, but she cares even more about the livelihoods of migrant workers from remote villages, just like her.

Xie, a deputy to the National People's Congress, called on governments to help migrant workers solve problems with housing and children's education, and also to help develop their vocational skills so that it would be easier for them to settle in the cities where they work.

Born in a small village in Gao'an, Jiangxi province, Xie, 46, has lived in Dehua, Fujian province, a main porcelain production center, for more than 24 years.
