What happens when students work with a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)? Goals are achieved.
學(xué)生們和全國政協(xié)委員一起工作，是種什么樣的體驗？這個想法已經(jīng)實現(xiàn)了。

Gao Xinyu, 17, and five other students from Shanghai Fengxian Shuguang High School entered the Model CPPCC last year, an event organized by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China and the All-China Students’ Federation. The event invites high school students, college students and young professionals to “gain a deeper understanding of and participate in the country’s political activities”.
去年，來自上海市奉賢區(qū)曙光中學(xué)的17歲學(xué)生高心雨還有其他5名同學(xué)去年參加了全國青少年模擬政協(xié)活動，該活動由共青團中央及全國學(xué)聯(lián)組織，邀請高中生、大學(xué)生以及青年職場人士參與，旨在讓他們“更好地理解并參與國家的政治生活”。

Gao and her team wrote a proposal with the help of their politics teacher Huang Shengyi and Jin Yan, a CPPCC member of Fengxian district, Shanghai. The 2020 Model CPPCC attracted 44,800 participants and 1,605 entries across the country. Gao’s team’s proposal was chosen as one of the 10 best entries.
高心雨及其團隊成員在學(xué)校政治老師黃圣怡和上海市奉賢區(qū)政協(xié)委員金彥的指導(dǎo)下，起草了一份提案。2020年全國青少年模擬政協(xié)活動共吸引了全國4.48萬人參與，共有1605件模擬提案作品參與全國評審。高心雨團隊的提案是全國十佳模擬政協(xié)提案作品之一。

Their proposal focuses on smart home-based care for the elderly. To get a better understanding on the issue, they carried out an online survey targeted at those aged 60 and above, as well as their families. The team received feedback from 1,307 people across the country, covering 23 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.
他們的提案關(guān)注的是老年人智慧居家養(yǎng)老情況。為了更好地理解該話題，他們發(fā)起了一項針對60歲以上人群及其家人的在線調(diào)查。團隊回收有效問卷共計1307份，覆蓋全國23個省、自治區(qū)和直轄市。

They not only sought input from the elderly, but social workers and people who work in nursing homes. “At the beginning, I thought we should only interview the elderly,” Gao said. “But teacher Jin advised us to interview various groups who might inspire us.” The word count of one of their interviews reached nearly 10,000.
同學(xué)們不光收集了老年人的想法，也對社工及養(yǎng)老院工作人員進行了訪談。“一開始，我以為只需要采訪老年人群體就可以了，”高心雨說道?！暗鹄蠋熃ㄗh我們要對多個群體進行訪談，或許會有所啟發(fā)。”同學(xué)們其中一次的訪談記錄有將近1萬字。

“Their issues reflect characteristics of the era – that is to apply technology to care for seniors,” Jin said. “I recommended that they further investigate.”
“他們的問題反映了時代的特點 —— 將科技應(yīng)用于養(yǎng)老，”金彥表示。“我建議他們做進一步的調(diào)研?！?/span>

But to accomplish the task was not easy. One challenge was to communicate with the old, “especially with those who have hearing problems and don’t speak Mandarin well”, Gao said.
但完成這一任務(wù)并非易事。與老年人溝通是一大挑戰(zhàn)，“尤其是和那些聽力不好或者是不會說普通話的老人家”，高心雨說道。

Another was how to balance study and off-campus activities. “With a clear assignment distribution, the work didn’t burden me,” Gao said. Each team member undertook a different task, including doing interviews, making videos and working as a spokesperson, according to Ma Liucheng, 17, another team member.
另一大挑戰(zhàn)是如何平衡好學(xué)業(yè)與校外活動。“因為小組分工明確，不會給我很大負擔(dān)，”高心雨表示。另一位小組成員、17歲的馬劉成表示，每個小組成員都會承擔(dān)不同的任務(wù)，如做訪談、做視頻以及擔(dān)任發(fā)言人。

The most challenging part was drafting a proposal, and that’s where Jin and Huang lent a professional hand. Jin shared his experience from years of work as a CPPCC member.
最有挑戰(zhàn)性的部分是起草提案，金彥與黃圣怡對此給出了專業(yè)建議。金彥分享了自己多年來作為政協(xié)委員的工作經(jīng)驗。

“I learned a lot,” Gao said. Jin was happy about what the team accomplished. “For teenagers, it’s a really good chance to raise concerns about society by attending such an event,” Jin said.
“我學(xué)到了很多，”高心雨表示。金彥也為團隊取得的成果感到高興?！皩τ谇嗌倌甓裕瑓⒓舆@樣的活動，提高對社會的關(guān)注，真的是一次很好的機會，”金彥表示。
