"When I saw that the suggestions of the Provincial CPPCC's 'monthly consultation meeting' were adopted in the " Shandong Province Population and Family Planning Regulations " and the "Implementation Plan for Optimizing the Population Policy to Promote Long-term Balanced Development of the Population", I deeply felt the power of consultative democracy and the value of CPPCC members ."
On November 22, at a symposium on the "Telling the Story of 'Chinese-style Consultation'" online theme interview activity held in Shandong Provincial CPPCC , Provincial CPPCC member Li Zhenhan expressed his feelings.

Li Zhenhan participated in the first "monthly consultation meeting" of the Provincial CPPCC this year, with the theme of "Promoting the Construction of a Parent-Friendly Society". Such a monthly consultation meeting has been held 8 times.
Since the beginning of this year, the Provincial CPPCC has steadily promoted the construction of a "consider more if you have something to do", and by forming institutional norms and cultivating a consultation culture, promoting the transformation and implementation of consultation results, extending and amplifying consultation efficiency, and effectively promoting the improvement of quality and efficiency of consultation work in the Provincial CPPCC.

Speaking of this proposal handling consultation, Zhang Fashui, a member of the Provincial CPPCC, still remembers it vividly. Face problems and communicate frankly fully reflect the charm of "discuss more when you have something".This year, the Provincial CPPCC has continuously improved the consultation and deliberation pattern with the CPPCC plenary meeting as the leader, the special political discussion standing committee meetings and the "monthly consultation meetings" as the focus, and the consultation symposium as the norm. Focusing on the deployment requirements of the Provincial Party Committee to "take the forefront and open up a new situation", three special political discussions and Standing Committee meetings were held with the themes of "take the forefront in serving and integrating into the new development pattern", "take the forefront in enhancing the innovation of economic and social development", and "take the forefront in promoting ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin".
Provincial CPPCC has created a "monthly consultation meeting" that integrates special consultation, counterpart consultation, sector consultation, remote consultation, and online political discussion. It focuses on in-depth consultation on hot and difficult issues such as the construction of a child-friendly society, the protection of workers' rights and interests, and the construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park (Shandong section), and gathers good strategies and gathers consensus.
"The "Report on Consultation on Promoting the Construction of a Parent-Friendly Society" was fully absorbed and adopted by the newly revised "Shandong Province Population and Family Planning Regulations"." Li Zhenbo, deputy director of the Population, Resources and Environment Committee of the Provincial CPPCC, said at the symposium.
Similarly, the "Report on Consultation on Construction of Qi Great Wall National Cultural Park (Shandong Section)" has been successively approved by 9 provincial leaders, promoting the formulation and promulgation of the "Regulations on Protection of Qi Great Wall in Shandong Province"; the six suggestions in the "Report on Strengthening the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Workers in New Employment Forms" were fully absorbed and adopted by the Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security and other nine departments...

Some opinions and suggestions have attracted the attention of relevant departments and provided useful reference for the formulation of important laws and regulations.
The atmosphere of consultative democracy is becoming stronger and stronger, and the channels for transformation of results are becoming wider and wider, which is inseparable from the attention and support of the Party Committee and the government. The 12th Party Congress of Shandong Province clearly requires "to polish the brand of negotiation work of 'consultation more if you have something to do'".
Shandong Provincial Party Secretary Li Ganjie and Governor Zhou Naixiang presided over the study of major issues on many occasions and took the lead in attending important consultation activities. We have repeatedly issued instructions on the results of consultation and political deliberation, such as proposals, consultation reports, etc., and put forward clear requirements for the absorption and transformation of consultation results. Other leaders of the provincial party committee and provincial government attended the monthly consultation meeting, consulted and discussed with the members, and responded and adopted relevant consultation suggestions in a timely manner.
Chairman of the Provincial CPPCC Ge Huijun said that in the next step, we must thoroughly study and understand the arrangements made by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China for the comprehensive development of consultative democracy, enhance the awareness and initiative in implementation, combine it with the study and implementation of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important thoughts on strengthening and improving the work of the People’s Political Consultative Conference, combine it with the practice of consultative democracy in the performance of duties of the CPPCC, strive to integrate it, grasp the essence of the spirit, better play the role of the CPPCC as a special consultation body, strengthen the construction of institutionalization, standardization, and procedural functions, improve in-depth consultation and interaction, full expression of opinions, and widely build consensus, and promote the innovative development of all work of the CPPCC.
