From China Daily:
Hu Xiaoyan is the archetypal migrant worker.
The 34-year-old and her husband are employed in the same factory – and her twin daughters are back home with grandparents.
She hails from Sichuan – one of the biggest sources of human resources – and works in Guangdong – the manufacturing hub which hires millions of migrant workers.
But Hu will go where none of her ilk has gone before: To the National People’s Congress (NPC) as a representative of the southern province. On Monday, she became the first migrant worker to be elected a deputy.
