Musajan Khaira, a villager of Keregetas Village of Xinyuan County, is a deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC). After graduating from junior high school, he learned blacksmithing and welding skills and runs a welding workshop. In addition to pursuing a better life for his own family, Musajan also taught welding skills to villagers for free, helping local people to increase their incomes.

As an NPC deputy, Musajan consistently focuses on the demands of local people. In response to villagers' concerns about difficulties in farmland irrigation and road accessibility, he presented a suggestion on construction of high-standard farmland at a ravine area in Xinyuan County. With his efforts, a high-standard farmland construction project was launched and drip irrigation facilities were promoted, making it easier for farmers to cultivate the land and ensuring more stable income growth.

Musajan keeps concentrating on high-quality development of rural areas. He presented suggestions such as advancing the reconstruction and expansion of local airport, upgrading county roads, and protecting wetland ecosystems, to promote rural development and improve local people's well-being.
