Feature: China's first government work report in Braille makes democracy touchable
When the second session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) lifted its curtain at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Tuesday, Wang Yongcheng was presented with a special government work report -- a version in Braille, which is a historic first for the country's top legislature.
"It is a tangible experience of democracy," Wang said in an excited tone as his fingertips traced the raised dots.
Among the nearly 3,000 deputies to the 14th NPC who commenced their five-year term in 2023, Wang stands out as the sole individual with visual impairment.
