The annual sessions of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will soon begin. Deputies are expected to discuss a variety of issues of public concern. As a citizen, what issues concern you the most? If you were a deputy, what would you propose to the top legislature? China Daily mobile news readers share their views.

More and more migrant workers come to Beijing to work, and they make a great contribution to the city. As some people have proposed that the municipal government should allow them to apply for a household registration, I wonder whether there are any details of the latest policy and what the requirements for registration in Beijing and other big cities are.

The scarcity of quality education resources concerns me most. In developed cities, parents have tried every conceivable means to get their children admitted in good kindergartens, primary schools and middle schools. Meanwhile, children also spend a large amount of time on training courses. The lack of good quality education has burdened many families and prevented students enjoying a happy and balanced development.

The inflated price of medicines in hospitals makes it difficult, and sometimes unaffordable, for many patients to get medical treatment. Although the relevant government departments have tried to control the prices of some medicines in recent years, such efforts have been unsuccessful because hospitals just prescribe substitute medicines without any price restrictions. Hopefully efforts can be made to finally tackle this problem and benefit patients.

The problems emerging from the country's aging population have become a major social issue.

On top of this, families with only one child are the majority in Chinese society, how can society ease the pressure on young couples that are responsible for the care of both sets of parents.

Also, young people often have to leave their parents behind when they move to cities to make a living, and safeguarding the well-being of senior citizens who have limited contact with their children is crucial to social stability and harmony.

As an ordinary citizen, food safety concerns me most. Not only is food cooked with gutter oil in many restaurants, there are too many substandard and dangerous products, such as "poisoned" steamed buns and clenbuterol in pork, which makes me worried about what on earth I can eat. Finding ways to make the public feel secure about the safety of the food they eat should be a priority.

There have been rapid price increases in recent years. We have to accept the fact that price of daily necessities has soared. Most of the time, a look at the prices of everyday goods makes us sigh, remembering how inexpensive things used to be in the old days.
