中国一年一度的全国人大会议除了在很大程度上充当空洞的政治舞台，也不失为一个少见的机会，让高层官员和人大代表们得以坦率地发表言论，但偶尔也不失雷人之语。
虽然中国官方媒体在报道这类兴之所至的失言情况时有所克制，但它们会被众多配备数字录音设备的记者记录下来，而这些记者并非全都来自受中国大陆政府控制的媒体。因此这些“雷语”流传开来也就在所难免了。以下是近日在中国互联网论坛上流传甚广的著名“雷人语录”精选：
──李鸿忠，湖北省省长。被《人民日报》记者问及去年的邓玉娇案时，李鸿忠的回答：你真是《人民日报》的？你还问这问题？你还是党的喉舌？你怎么引导舆论？你叫什么名字？我要找你们领导去。
──薄熙来，中共重庆市党委书记。面对一位台湾记者“重庆打黑运动是否是捞政治资本，为的是中共十八大进常委”的问题，向来风度翩翩的薄熙来沉默了一会儿才回应说，今天这种场合不适合做秀。薄熙来还批评在场记者，说他们不该只想着做秀。
──黄孟复，全国工商联主席。在房价这个热点话题上黄孟复如是说：北京房价两万还是三万，对普通老百姓来说根本就没有痛苦，他们有什么痛苦呢？两万我买不起，涨到三万我还是买不起。这样跟普通老百姓根本就没有关系。除非降到3000元，可能吗？
──陈华伟，广东省全国人大代表、任一家建筑公司经理。同样在房价问题上，陈华伟也大发“何不食肉糜”之高论：房价不是我们开发商决定，是由市场来定的。现在说房价高，但没有人叫你去广州买，也没有人叫你去深圳买，你回老家买就可以啊，为什么还要到广州、深圳买？
In addition to providing a fair amount of empty political theater, China's legislative season also allows a rare opportunity for high-ranking officials and delegates to the National People's Congress to speak somewhat frankly, and, on occasion, a bit clumsily.
While China's official media have shown restraint reporting these impromptu verbal gaffes, it's hard to prevent such statements from spreading when they are recorded by packs of digital-recorder-toting journalists, not all of whom work for the mainland's controlled media. Below, a selection of notable comments from recent days that have been making the rounds on Chinese Internet forums:
--Li Hongzhong, governor of Hubei province, was asked by a People's Daily reporter about last year's case of a hotel worker whose murder charges were dismissed after she claimed she had acted in self-defense when an official and his colleague tried to rape her. His reply : 'Are you really from the People's Daily? And you ask such a question? What kind of Communist Party mouthpiece are you? Is this how you guide public opinion? What's your name? I'm going to find your boss.'
--Bo Xilai, party chief of Chongqing municipality, was asked bluntly by a Taiwanese reporter whether his ambitious mafia crackdown was aimed at getting him a seat on the Politburo's standing committee. The normally charismatic Bo looked around speechlessly for a while before replying, 'This isn't an appropriate occasion for making a show.' Bo also criticized the reporters in the room, telling them that they shouldn't only be thinking about making a scene?
--Huang Mengfu, chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry & Commerce, on the hot-button issue of property prices : 'Whether Beijing apartment prices are 20,000 yuan per square meter or 30,000 yuan, there's basically no harm to ordinary people. If I can't buy a place at 20,000, I still can't buy it if the price goes up to 30,000. This really has nothing to do with ordinary people. Unless the prices go down to 3,000 per square meter, is that possible?'
--Chen Huawei, an NPC delegate from Guangzhou and construction company executive, offered a 'let them eat cake' response on the same issue. 'Property prices are not determined by us developers, but by the market. Nowadays, people complain about high home prices but no one is forcing you to buy a place in Guangzhou or Shenzhen. You can go back to your hometown to buy a home, why does it have to be Guangzhou or Shenzhen?'
