"I didn't expect that the suggestion I just made in the morning was replied to the staff of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development that night." On March 9, the Anhui delegation reviewed in groups. Peng Shou, a member of the National People's Congress and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, shared a "little surprise" with reporters after his speech.

This year's government work report proposes to promote the construction of a safe, comfortable, green and smart "good house". Representative Peng Shou, who has been engaged in research on new materials technology, is very concerned about this aspect.

"It is necessary to solve how to use scientific and technological power to build new houses and renovate old houses. This is an effective move that meets the requirements of new quality and productivity." On the morning of March 7, when participating in the group review of the Anhui delegation, Representative Peng Shou gave suggestions on how to strengthen the innovative supply of "good materials" to support the construction of "good houses". He proposed to accelerate the construction of a national-level building materials application technology innovation center, coordinate the deployment of major special projects for high-quality building materials for "good houses", and continuously improve the "good materials" product quality traceability standard system.

Representative Peng Shou's suggestions were recorded by the staff present and promptly reported to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. At around 10 pm on March 7, a phone call entered the room of Representative Peng Shou. "The staff of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development told me that this suggestion is very good. They conducted research overnight and will promote implementation." Representative Peng Shou told reporters that the staff also asked him about many relevant details and opinions on how to implement it. "The communication is very efficient and pragmatic!" The staff's timely response inspired Representative Peng Shou very much. In recent years, Representative Peng Shou has led his team to deepen his efforts in the field of new glass materials and made many technological breakthroughs, which has also given him more thoughts on how to promote the application of new materials in the construction field. In his opinion, "good materials" are the basis for achieving the goal of "good houses". It affects the people's living experience and needs to establish and improve a new building material system that is green, safe, environmentally friendly and intelligent.

Representative Peng Shou said that how to strengthen the research and development of new material technologies in the construction field, issue relevant standards, and promote product application are all the focus points in the future. We look forward to the relevant departments further building a sustainable technical ecology and industrial system from the aspects of platforms, projects, standards and specifications.

"Staff from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said that they will do their best to promote the implementation of the suggestions, and more ‘good materials’ may emerge in the near future." Representative Peng Shou said that the four words “good all-out” are not only a focus on the representative’s suggestions, but also make people intuitively appreciate the power of people’s democracy throughout the process.
