The residential district where Sheng works is inhabited by residents from various countries and regions. She helped establish a consultation platform which incorporates both Chinese and foreign residents, foster the integration and development of the international community.
As a “post-80s“ NPC deputy, Sheng Hong is both a witness and practitioner of whole-process people's democracy. Sheng has always been listening to the needs of residents and their opinions and suggestions on legislative work. At the Gubei civic center, where she hosts legislative hearings and discussions, a display board shows the number of legislative suggestions submitted and adopted. “Instead of renewing the whole display board, we now use magnet stickers to keep up with the fast-growing numbers,“ Sheng said.
