Chen Zhihong, Secretary -General of Xiamen Bird Watching Association, and Director -General Zhu Jingen and other Democratic Progressive members have been followed and observed that the distribution area of ​​the purple water chicken distribution of Xinglin Bay is not only the homeland of purple chickens.

Purple chickens are facing the dilemma of "home disappearance" as soon as they are born in Xiamen. The homeland they live in is a wetland with an area of ​​about 100 acres. Bird friends found that in their habitats, the bird catcher can be seen from time to time. More seriously, there are already filling the soil here. There are many excavators who are working nearby. Turn back and forth. It turned out that according to the plan, the area has been planned to be commercial land, and the area is about to enter the construction stage.

People's Congress.

On March 27, 2013, Chen Zhihong accepted an exclusive interview with the "Perspective Point of the CPPCC" column in Xiamen's purple water chicken distribution area in Xiamen Xinglin Bay.

Soon after, the relevant suggestions submitted by the Xiamen Municipal Committee of the Democratic Progressive Municipality were sent to the Municipal Garden Bureau by the Xiamen People's Congress to the Municipal Garden Bureau, requiring it to be handled within a time limit.
