The Election System

Election of deputies to the NPC among Taiwan compatriots is presided over by the Standing Committee of the NPC. Standing committees of people’s congresses of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government and the armed forces are responsible to organize
consultations to elect deputies.

2. The functions and powers of election committees during direct election

(1) To preside over the election of deputies to people’s congresses at the corresponding levels;

(2) To decide on the date of election;

(3) To conduct registration of voters, examine the qualifications of voters and publicize lists of voters;

(4) To look into appeals of disagreement lodged by voters concerning the lists of voters and make due decisions;

(5) To decide on the division of constituencies and allocate the number of deputies to the constituencies;

(6) To tally and publicize the names of candidates for deputies and according to the opinion of the majority of voters, decide and publicize the official lists of candidates for deputies;

(7) To dispatch staff to preside over ballot casting stations or the election of electoral meetings;

(8) To decide on whether the election is valid and publicize the lists of names of deputies elected; and

(9) To process reports and charges against violations during the election.

III. Allocation of the number of deputies

1. Deputies to local people’s congresses in ordinary administrative regions

The number of deputies to the NPC, and people’s congresses of provinces, autonomous regions, counties and autonomous counties is distributed by the standing committee of the corresponding level according to the principle of one deputy in rural areas representing a population four times that of a
deputy in urban areas.

2. Deputies to people’s congresses in ethnic self-government regions

(1) In areas where the population of one ethnic minority makes up 30 percent or more of the total local population, the population a deputy represents equals that represented by any other deputies in the same local people’s congress.

(2) In areas where the population of one ethnic minority makes up more than 15 but under 30 percent of the total local population, the population a deputy represents may be smaller than that represented by other deputies in the same local people’s congress but deputies from this ethnic minority
shall be no more than 30 percent of the total number of deputies.

(3) In areas where the population of one ethnic minority makes up less than 15 percent of the total local population, the population a deputy represents may be less than one half of that represented by other deputies in the same local people’s congress. In counties of ethnic self-government
where minority population is exceptionally small, the population a deputy represents may be less than half of the total local population, upon decision of the standing committee of the people’s congress of a province or an autonomous region. Other ethnic groups whose populations are
exceptionally small may have at least one deputy in the local people’s congress.

(4) Ethnic minorities living in scattered communities shall have their deputies and the population each deputy represents may be smaller than that represented by every other deputy in the local people’s congress.

That sounds quite interesting, might take a look at it. This seems to be a complete online
version. I attempted to read 闲话中国人 by 易中天 but got very bored very quickly – didn’t
like the guy’s style at all. Am also on second chapter of 围城 – which I’m inordinately proud
of, I just don’t have the levels of commitment for novels these days. I rarely finish magazines

红袖 is a novel, guess that wasn’t clear from my last post. At about 100 magazine-sized pages,
it’s manageable though. Plus the chapters are very short, usually 1-2 pages, so it’s an ideal size
for a quick read on the bus or before going to bed/getting up.

Not sure whether you’re version is the full version. The last sentence of 第十章(4), which
seems to be as far as it goes, is neither the last sentence of my tenth chapter, nor of my last
chapter. I do remember reading that passage, though, so you can’t be all wrong.

Oh, Joyo guy just dropped by, gotta speed up reading… About halfway through so far.

roddy -

Is it the current issue of Dangdai? I might just pick that up.

gougou -

Nah, it’s the first of 2008, as it’s a bimonthly I guess the second should be out by now. However,
it’s also been published as a book, so that might be an option.

BTW, the last sentence of what is chapter 10 in your version is in the middle of chapter 5 in my
version.

萧红作品精编。 The first book by a Chinese author I read was Xiao Hong’s 生死场 (in
translation, back then), and I’m looking forward to reading it in the original. As I’m going
through her works chronologically, I’m still in her early works, some very short short stories. I
like how she can paint a picture without using many words; the stories are only a couple of pages
long, but give beautiful and, as far as I can judge, authentic insight into the times she was
living in.

Sam Addington -

I recall having read Xiao Hong years ago. What are her dates? She was back in the thirties, wasn’t
she? Didn’t Howard Goldblatt translate some of her works?

Quote:

have no idea how to pronounce. 煩.

I realize my reply to this post is a bit belated, but I am just having fun discovering this
thread. Great postings.

By now I suppose you know that 煩 is the same 煩 as in 麻煩. That is what is so frustrating
about studying Chinese. Even though you know all these spoken expressions, the first time you run
across them in writing it’s like “What?????”

Quote:

What are her dates? She was back in the thirties, wasn’t she? Didn’t Howard Goldblatt translate
some of her works?

Yeah, her writing mostly was done in the 30′s, she died in 1942 already. I heard that Goldblatt
translated some of her works, but didn’t read any of them.

Quote:

By now I suppose you know that 煩 is the same 煩 as in 麻煩.

I think lu wasn’t asking for the pronunciation of 烦, but rather saying that it was very 烦
(i.e. annoying) to run into the problem she described.

I love scrolling through this thread. So much to read, so little time.

I am reading Peter Hessler’s “Oracle Bones” and loving it. I find him to be a very forthright,
honest author. Though much of this thread seems to be devoted to literary works, I think his
journalistic style also deserves to be examined for its artistic merit.

I was halfway through “Truman” by David McCulloch when I picked up “Oracle Bones.” I imagine I
will finish it too, one of these days.

Both books were best sellers a few years ago, but both books are still worth reading. I never knew
a thing about Truman, and thought very little about the era surrounding World War II from a
non-Chinese perspective.

I’m reading another 程琳 novel: 拘留…however I think I ended up reading these somewhat out
of order…hmm.

Anyway, so far I can see that it’s has some similarities as his other novel I read a few months
ago (一针见血）but it’s still entertaining enough for me
