"I am proud to be a member of CPPCC Chongqing, and I feel a sense of duty! I am looking forward to bringing some wonderful ideas to the sports sector," Li said.

During the Chongqing Two Sessions, Li Xuerui will present her proposal on sports development, focusing on the national fitness program and Chongqing's hosting of international competitions.

Chongqing has insisted on implementing a national fitness public service system during the last five years, according to Li. When the city began a national fitness campaign, people in this city were more willing to exercise.

Li Xuerui said she would strive to meet everyone's fitness requirements in her role as an athlete. "Building stadiums and holding large-scale events, for example, will pique the interest of everyone in sports."
