On Saturday morning in the Great Hall of the People, Premier Wen Jiabao will present an extensive plan for China's social and economic development in the coming five years.

The audience will include more than 5,000 Chinese lawmakers - deputies of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC) - and members of the top national advisory body, the 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).

As a member of the press, I will shuttle between the Great Hall of the People and hotels to get to know the NPC deputies' views, not only on the draft 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015), but also on a range of important national issues, from pending legislation and the national budget to developments in other top departments.
