From the Tiananmen West subway station, looking up at the gray sky, the martial law streets are empty, walking through three security checks before turning to the meeting point at the east gate of the venue, there are still two hours to go before the meeting starts, journalists from all over the world have already formed a long queue, taking pictures and looking around the outside of the venue.
As one of the first time to participate in the meeting of the journalists, I looked around with an exhilarated mood, in the queue at the same time, I talked to the seniors next to me, and learned that there is no lack of first time to come to the scene of the journalists in the queue, where everyone's words and actions are extra careful, more than one point of the solemn, but can not help but touch out the cell phone to take a couple of photographs to send to friends and relatives to leave a souvenir for their own.
After entering the East Gate is the last security check, the efficient work of the security personnel speeds up the entry of journalists, and their busy figures can be seen everywhere in the venue. From the time we left the subway station until now, we have gone through seven security checks.
On the second floor, there was also a long line at the document distribution counter, where journalists waited for the workers in an orderly manner.writings or worksPersonnel to distribute information.
Following the flow of people forward, we arrived at the area of photographers, the venue area is under intense preparation, the CCTV camera team has already set up a good position, just waiting for the members to enter the venue. After I chose my seat, I immediately returned to the first floor hall and waited with many seniors for the commissioners to enter.
The first floor hall of the conference has long been surrounded by all kinds of media in three layers outside three layers, flash lights clicking, text reporters crowded on the side of the writing, short I can only peep from the corners of the gap in the two.
Reporters were crouching nervously at the entrance of the hall, trying to find their interview subjects in the stream of people who kept pouring in, and whenever the member's footsteps stopped, people swarmed around to ask questions and take pictures, which was no less than a battle.
The most boisterous member of the group was probably none other than the basketball player Yao Ming, who had just stepped into the venue when people were heard calling his name from all directions, trying to retain his footsteps.
But there was no one left in the venue to stop him, and he weaved his way through the crowd like a walking mountain.
With the entrance of the last wave of members, the Second Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference officially kicked off.
The highlight of the meeting, in my opinion, was the staff in uniform, neatly holding up kettles of hot water for the commissioners.Pouring water.
After the successful conclusion of the meeting, the journalists exited the room
