Wang Qiong, a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, is a senior technician on water quality inspection of Zongguan Waterworks of Wuhan Water Group. In the past 29 years, Wang has been monitoring the water quality of the Yangtze River water source and paying attention to the changes of the Yangtze River water ecology.

In 2023, Wang was elected a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress. She led a team to carry out technical research, improve the accuracy of water quality detection and provide a strong guarantee for safety of drinking water.

Wang plans to offer suggestions on ecological civilization construction at the upcoming second session of the 14th NPC. She hopes that these suggestions will play a positive role in protecting the water ecological environment of the Yangtze River and caring for the Yangtze finless porpoise.
