The "Two Sessions," or "Lianghui" in Chinese, is a reference to the annual meetings of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). President Xi Jinping has called upon Guangdong Province to continue carrying forward the spirit of daring, encouraging representatives to reform and innovate, as well as create a new path for Guangdong with a new and bigger role.

Over the past few years, various departments in Guangdong Province have attempted to carry out President Xi Jinping's notes by promoting all-round scientific and technological innovations and deepening reforms.
