  The career of the disabled is the "spring career".

  On May 16, in front of the Great Hall of the People, this scene was touching-

  Disabled friends supported each other and got off the bus and entered the conference hall. Some people were in wheelchairs, some were holding crutches, and some were "walking" on small stools, with bright smiles on their faces.

On May 16, He Mulin (first right first), who participated in the Seventh National Self-improvement Model and Advanced Commendation Conference on Helping the Disabled, held a small bench with both hands and "stepped" up the steps of the conference hall.

  The Seventh National Model of Self-reliance and Advanced Commendation for the Disabled and Advanced Disabled Persons was held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on the 16th. 200 national self-improvement models, 200 national advanced collectives for the work of the disabled and 60 national advanced individuals for the work of the disabled were commended.

  Behind every self-improvement model is a story of fighting against fate.

  Chen Guiping, a one-armed rural doctor in Jiangxi, has traveled 11 kilometers a day and ridden 16 bicycles in the past 29 years, benefiting more than 5,000 people. He has served 100 elderly people and has led more people to devote themselves to public welfare for many years.

  Who would have thought that this 3-year-old doctor who lost his right arm had a dense needle hole on his legs when he was studying to give injections with one hand.

  Wang Sujing, a cerebral palsy patient who obtained her doctorate with amazing perseverance, has focused on interdisciplinary research on computer and psychology for many years. This scientist who can only type on the keyboard with his left hand has achieved international breakthroughs in intelligent micro-expression analysis, established the world's largest Chinese phonological disorder database, and used the concept of "AI+Aids" to convey emotions to AUO's emotions with difficulty in pronunciation.

  Fate may be a little ruthless to them, but they never give up easily. The incomplete body tells people with actions: nothing can stop the brave from moving forward.

  There are 85 million disabled people in our country. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the social security system and care service system for the disabled have been continuously improved, and the cause of the disabled has flourished in all respects. A series of pragmatic policies and measures have become a solid support for disabled people to live a happy life.

  More and more groups and individuals are doing practical things for the disabled and solving problems with pragmatic actions.

  In this commendation group, in addition to traditional enterprises, institutions, scientific research institutions, colleges, colleges, special education schools, medical rehabilitation and other institutions, many social organizations and volunteer service organizations have emerged, and some technology companies with distinctive characteristics of the times have appeared for the first time.

  Through the transformation of brain-computer interface technology, Zhejiang Qiangnao Technology Co., Ltd. has installed free bionic intelligent prosthetics for more than 300 disabled people, providing systematic rehabilitation support to allow the limb to be "lost and regained".

  Door-to-door, cross-provincial certificates and services, and open a nursing center for severely disabled people, so that disabled people who are rooted in rural areas can find employment nearby. In the country's largest centralized resettlement area for ecological immigrants, the Hongsibao District Disabled Persons' Federation of Wuzhong City, Ningxia "holds its strength" for more than 6,000 disabled people.

  After spending more than a year learning common sign language at your own expense, Chongqing police officer He Qiao regarded nearly 200 hearing-impaired residents in the jurisdiction as relatives, and communicated with the "dual world" of silent and audio.

  A striking new change is a disability who is still in the eyes of many people, who need help from others, is giving help to others. Among the advanced individuals commended this time, 13 disabled people of different types and levels account for 21.7%.

  "Because they are in it, they empathize with the disabled more; because of the development of the times, they have higher pursuits for the realization of personal value." said Zhou Jian, director of the Organization Department of the China Disabled Persons' Federation.

  From 1991 to 2019, six batches of stories of typical collectives and characters of self-reliance and assistance to the disabled were promoted nationwide through the conference. Commendation of advanced models will make a footnote to the development of the cause of the disabled in each period, and will send a strong voice to the whole society for self-improvement and helping the disabled.

  "In the future, I will continue to stay in the countryside and be a healthy 'gatekeeper' for the villagers!" Chen Guiping said.

  "Appoint more peers to join the ranks of disabled people and build a "bridge of heart" with respect and understanding." He Qiao said.

  Commendation for "the cause of spring". "The power of role models is infinite, and the glory of morality is eternal." said Zhang Weixing, vice chairman of the China Disabled Persons' Federation.

  The concept of respecting the wishes of the disabled and protecting the rights of the disabled is becoming increasingly popular.
