I suggest that the legislature include the right of workers to "rest during off hours" in relevant laws. Some employers require employees to join work groups on instant messaging platforms and arrange work during their off hours, violating their right to rest and privacy. Legislation on the issue can better deter employers from illegally arranging for extra work after hours. The nation should also issue explanatory documents to define extra work done online and necessary compensation.

Skyscrapers are a product of the development of modern construction technology, yet they also bring risks and costs, such as in disaster prevention and the mitigation of fires, as well as in the costs of energy consumption and demolition after they're no longer in use. If the drawbacks and risks outweigh the advantages, we shouldn't build so many high-rise and ultra high-rise buildings. In addition to rules regulating skyscrapers in metropolises, high-rise buildings between 27 meters and 100 meters in small and medium-sized cities urgently need regulations and restrictions due to the large number of them and the increase in the pace of their development. Legislators and supervising departments should roll out rules to strictly restrict the construction of high-rise buildings and ban ultra high-rise ones.
