Hu Xiaoyan will enter Beijing's Great Hall of the People for the first time in her life, not as a tourist, but as a legislator to attend the annual parliament session scheduled to open tomorrow.

"I feel the whole world is watching me. The pressure is really too much," said Hu, 34, a migrant worker in southern China's Guangdong Province. She arrived in the capital on Sunday.

Hu is one of three migrant workers who were elected as deputies to the National People's Congress, or the top legislature, for the first time.

A native of the southwestern Sichuan Province, Hu has been working in a building ceramics company in Foshan City, Guangdong, for five years.

She had been promoted to deputy workshop chief.

Most of the workers in her company are migrant workers.

Hu was one of two candidates selected by Guangdong trade unions and was elected to the post on January 21 at a session of the provincial legislature.

Hu says she is working hard to be a true "spokesperson for migrant workers" and does not want to be any sort of media celebrity.

Her first proposal asks that the government help migrant workers integrate with the social environment where they work.

The incomes of migrant workers should continue to be raised and more security is needed for women workers, she suggests.

Her second proposal for the congress asks the government to take more care of the children of migrant workers who are left behind in rural villages and towns, often staying at home without parental care.
