[Commentary] On November 27, in Feidong County, Hefei City, 45-year-old Yang Xiaoping started a new day of live broadcasting in a wheelchair.
In 1995, when Yang Xiaoping was about to graduate from junior high school, an accident caused him to lose consciousness below his thigh. From then on, he could only lie in bed all day, and his life fell into darkness.
In the years that followed, his brother and sister-in-law took care of him in every possible way, which gave him confidence in life.

Looking at my sister-in-law to take care of me so carefully, I also think of the text in our childhood. After all, this is the birthplace of Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng has a "sister-in-law". It can be said that my sister-in-law is just like my "sister-in-law" and better than myself. The biological parents need to take care of it (attentively).
In this situation, so I gradually changed my (thoughts) gradually, and gradually faced this reality.
[Explanation] After regaining his confidence in life, Yang Xiaoping decided to use his own labor to reduce the burden of life at home. He has studied home appliance repair and opened an Internet cafe in the town, especially during the years when he was exposed to computers. He gradually learned to shop online.
As e-commerce entered the rural market, he took advantage of the trend and opened a rural e-commerce service station in the township street to help villagers pay for various fees such as water, electricity, communications, and purchase goods for everyone.

I always hold a grateful heart, which is to thank my brother-in-law for taking care of me for so many years, so I have this kind of motivation to do part of my own small business and reduce the burden on their family.
[Explanation] After purchasing for a long time, Yang Xiaoping thought, we can buy a lot of things online, why can't we sell the agricultural products?
Start acting when you have an idea.
Dried sweet potatoes, peanuts, native eggs... Yang Xiaoping sells various local agricultural products in his online store.

At first I brought a few, and then I tried it on the Internet. It was okay. Some people actually bought it. So the idea of selling our own local agricultural products was born on our own website and gradually selling these agricultural products online.
[Explanation] After several years of exploration, his e-commerce service station has been upgraded to an e-commerce service center.
In 2019, his online store turnover exceeded 300,000 yuan.
Today, Yang Xiaoping is not only the top rural e-commerce expert in the county, but also one of the leaders in entrepreneurship and poverty alleviation.
In Feidong County Disabled Persons’ Federation and Baogong Town Government, he is responsible for daily management of the company and online sales in the assisted employment organization for the disabled.

Our factory is an assisted employment agency for the disabled. There are 33 employees. They usually work in the factory, mainly handicrafts.
Then pay 1280 yuan per month on time, and each employee has monthly social security.
[Commentary] Yang Xiaoping said that as a disabled person, he has a deep understanding of that kind of despair. Now that he is out of the haze, he wants to help more disabled friends so that they can also support themselves and feel the beauty of life.
