BEIJING (Reuters) - China's parliament is poised to approve a rural reform plan on Tuesday that seeks to address the chasm dividing rich cities and the poor countryside, closing one of the most contentious legislative sessions in a decade. 

The roughly 3,000 delegates to the largely ceremonial National People's Congress are due to gather at 0100 GMT to cast their votes on the five-year plan approved by Communist Party leaders at a plenum last year.
