156 delegates from all walks of life in Guangdong province composed the Guangdong delegation for the NPC this year. The import and export value of Guangdong makes up one-third of national total value, and accounts for one-eighth of national economic growth. Guangdong province has maintained its top spot in import and export value among China's many provinces and cities for several years, commonly referred to as \"Big Brother\".
