On the 18th day of the first lunar month, which is March 2nd in the solar calendar, a Monday.
The Longxi Provincial People's Congress was bustling and solemn that morning. On normal days, the work of the People's Congress organs was orderly but quiet. Indeed, it is one of the "Big Four" bodies. However, compared to the busy party and government leadership departments, the People's Congress seemed to outsiders like an institution for the elderly.
Within the system, many leading cadres think that being transferred to the People's Congress means their careers are basically over the moment they hear of it.
