Xinhua, January 28, 2016 Adjust font size:

Premier Li Keqiang met with a group of teacher, doctor, writer, athlete and farmer to hear their suggestions on the draft of the annual government work report and the country's 13th Five-Year Plan for social and economic development.

They on Tuesday raised suggestions including covering the deficit of vocational education teachers in poverty-stricken areas, producing more quality movies and TV series, and coupling the innovation-and-entrepreneurship drive with manufacturing so that smart ideas could become good products, according to a press release issued on Thursday.

Mo Yan, the Chinese winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize for Literature, proposed greater importance be attached to popular science, and promoting public knowledge and etiquette.

Premier Li said, the country pursues development both in social wealth, and public etiquette as well as ethics.

Zeng Yixin, from Beijing Hospital, suggested promoting joint reforms of the country's medical system, medical insurance system, and pharmaceutical sectors, as well as investing greater efforts in developing general practitioners at community level.

Li responded, that this year will see the central government invest more in medical insurance for critical diseases so as to alleviate the financial burden on patients.

Li said the suggestions were solicited so that future policy will better fit the actual conditions of grass-roots communities and people's expectations.

He stressed that all government work aims at meeting people's aspirations and solving their problems. Endi
