  The disabled are equal members of the big social family and an important force in the development of human civilization.

Many people have a disability, self-respect and self-reliance, dedicated to society, and live their wonderful lives with a spirit of continuous self-improvement.

  "In contemporary China, in the process of reform and opening up, a large number of self-improvement models like Zhang Haidi have emerged among the disabled in our country...their spirit is the spirit of self-improvement, our national spirit, the spirit of the times, and the core values ​​of socialism. It should be righteous." General Secretary Xi Jinping praised contemporary self-improvement models of the disabled.
