I saw an amazing video by Chinese state media a while ago that really opened my eyes to the inner workings of the NPC. They interviewed a worker at an electric bike factory who held some position of power within the NPC and she elucidated what she did there on behalf of the workers.

I am absolutely pissed that I can't find it. If anyone knows, it's an English guy interviewing people. IIRC it displays a local vote on how to allocate recently built housing, and the people unanimously decide the most fair way to do it is practically to draw straws - random, but it's a creative solution stemming from the masses, and everyone accepts the outcome.

The English guy also does a sick production ramp ride-off on an electric bike.

Sorry I wasn't more helpful comrade. I'm hoping someone reads this and knows what video I'm talking about lol
