[Commentary] The woman who is high-fiving with her son in the picture is named Ran Cunying, the principal of Boai Special Education School in Yichang City, Hubei Province.

[Explanation] Ran Cunying founded the special school because of his son.
In December 1999, her son suffered from autism. She sought medical attention everywhere but failed. So she contacted a domestic medical rehabilitation institution, but eventually gave up because of the high cost.

In the process of seeking medical treatment, I also found that there are still many places like my son who have nowhere to go. In order to help more children like my son, I made up my mind to relearn my profession and start such a special education. school.
[Explanation] Do whatever it takes. Ran Cunying rushed to Beijing, Wuhan, Nanjing and other places to participate in special education professional training. After obtaining the special education qualification certificate, she and her husband quit their well-paid jobs and invested all the money to buy out their seniority. Yichang Boai Special Education School was established in 2003.
[Explanation] It was very difficult at the beginning of the school. There was no venue. "Yiling Good Man" Li Guangjia provided her own small courtyard for free; insufficient funds, Ran Cunying ran around and borrowed money everywhere; insufficient student resources, Ran Cunying visited family by family, almost everywhere After Yichang, the school started with 3 children and 4 teachers and gradually developed.
[Concurrent] Ran Cunying, Principal of Boai Special Education School in Yichang City, Hubei Province:
When I borrow money for a while, many relatives and friends are afraid (me) and dare not see me, because borrowing money is really very difficult.
It is also relatively difficult for us to recruit teachers. Special education and rehabilitation trainers are very difficult. We recruit related majors, such as childhood and general teachers, and train through these.
[Explanation] Ran Cunying used her sincerity to win the trust of parents, and the number of students began to grow. She rented a new site as a school building in Wujiagang District, Yichang City.
She knows that if school fees are too high, many families will not be able to afford it, so she cuts down on expenses, controls costs, and reduces tuition fees as much as possible.
At the same time, in order to obtain more project funds for the children, she resolutely converted the school into a private non-profit organization.

For all the initial investment, I did not get a penny in return, and here, I am also paid, and I am also a worker. I use these actions to practice my original intention. I have not forgotten my original intention and truly be a special one. The child’s mother comes to help more special children.
[Explanation] With the continuous increase in the number of students, school buildings can no longer meet the teaching needs.
The Yichang Disabled Persons’ Federation vacated one floor of the office building under the condition of tight funds, and renovated it as required and used it as the main school building, which increased the area of the Boai Special School from the original 200 square meters to more than 1,000 square meters. , The number of teachers in school has increased to 48, and there are more than 100 students in school.
[Explanation] In teaching, the school hires doctors, professors and experts from China Three Gorges University, Nanjing Special Education College and other institutions and research institutes to form an advisory group to provide long-term professional training and technical support for the school.
Ran Cunying also created a set of "system intervention method", through which the training of children can be strengthened, which can achieve a multiplier effect.
[Concurrent] Ran Cunying, principal of Boai Special Education School in Yichang City, Hubei Province: The child may be dirty (sometimes), but at that time, as a special education teacher, you must give her a warm and loving hug so that the child will feel The teacher really loves me, he can communicate with you next time.
[Contemporary] The student’s parent Zhou Yaqin: (my grandson) used to speak in the same language, but after all, it was few. Now after the teacher’s training and intervention, he now speaks a lot.
[Explanation] In 2016, with the support of the Yichang Disabled Persons’ Federation, Ran Cunying established a supportive employment training base for the disabled and received more than 80 mentally handicapped persons for training.
At present, Boai Special School has become a three-level designated rehabilitation institution of the National, Hubei Province, and Yichang Disabled Persons’ Federation, and is also one of the fifty institutions supported by the China Disabled Persons’ Federation’s rehabilitation education pilot project for autistic children.
[Explanation] Now, Ran Cunying's son has been able to take care of himself after years of rehabilitation training.
She confessed that she owed her family the most over the years, and she felt guilty for not being with her son.

In the past 18 years, we (accumulatively) received tens of thousands of parent consultations from all over the country, and directly received children’s rehabilitation training for more than 3,000 people. Helping this child brought hope to many families and warmed this group. people.
