  "The disabled is a group with special difficulties and needs extra care and attention." This "extraordinary" love is very important in the general secretary's heart.

  The above leads the way and sets an example, and the atmosphere of inclusiveness of the disabled and the disabled is becoming stronger and stronger; the top-level design is becoming more and more clear with personal planning and personal promotion.

  "Let the majority of disabled people live and work in peace and contentment, food and clothing, and live a happy and beautiful life, is an important manifestation of our party's purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and it is an inevitable requirement of our socialist system."

love, everywhere

  On September 17, 2020, in Changsha, Hunan, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium with grassroots representatives, and listened to the opinions and suggestions of grassroots cadres and representatives on the formulation of the "14th Five-Year Plan".

  With neat short hair and confident conversation, the speech of Yang Shuting, a "post-90s" Miao girl from Chengbu Miao Autonomous County, impressed the general secretary, "I admire your self-improvement spirit!"

  In 2011, a car accident left Yang Shuting with high paraplegia. Her family owed more than 200,000 yuan for her treatment, and her life fell into a low ebb.

On the way to fight against fate, Yang Shuting did not give in.

With the support of all parties, she started a business producing footballs, luggage, etc., and also helped hundreds of poor households in her hometown to get out of poverty.

  The story of Yang Shuting's struggle is a vivid epitome of the continuous realization of the Chinese disabled people's yearning for a better life in the new era.

  Affected by factors such as physical barriers, weak working ability, and low education level, the poverty-stricken disabled persons are deeply impoverished, difficult to get rid of poverty, and the rate of returning to poverty is high.

  "There are tens of millions of disabled people in China. By 2020, a moderately prosperous society will be built in an all-round way, and there will be no less disabled people." General Secretary Xi Jinping has always regarded the disabled people's poverty alleviation as an important content and key indicator for winning the battle against poverty.

  In April 2016, during an inspection tour in Jinzhai, Anhui, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Poverty due to illness and disability often occur, and the poverty alleviation mechanism should further improve the bottom line measures."

  In June 2017, along the rugged mountain road, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Zhaojiawa Village, which is located in the contiguous destitute area of ​​Lvliang Mountain, Shanxi Province.

  The grandson and granddaughter of the three daughters of the poor family are disabled, and they are living in very difficult life by relying on her alone.

The general secretary brought her rice, noodles, and oil to comfort her with a good life. She also urged local cadres to arrange special education for her grandson and granddaughter.

  The general secretary is concerned about the lives of the special poor without the ability to work, and proposes "speeding up the weaving and building a safety net for people's livelihood security" and "strengthening security poverty alleviation";

  The General Secretary attaches great importance to the health services for the disabled and other key groups in poverty-stricken areas, and requires that "the main indicators of basic public services in poverty-stricken areas are close to the national average level";

  The general secretary understands the special situation of disabled people and other specific groups, and instructs to "carry out large-scale special poverty alleviation actions" and organize the implementation of targeted development plans...

  General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest entrustment and clear requirements have pointed out the direction for solving the problem of poverty due to disability in the great practice of targeted poverty alleviation and targeted poverty alleviation.

  Central documents such as the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Winning the Battle of Poverty Alleviation" and other central documents incorporate poverty alleviation work for the poor and disabled into the overall layout; localities have used more precise measures and extraordinary efforts to help the poor and disabled to get out of poverty; The consciousness of "weak birds fly first" and the spirit of "dropping water through stone", self-improvement and self-reliance, and independent poverty alleviation.

  "my country has achieved a comprehensive victory in the battle against poverty."

On February 25, 2021, with the solemn announcement of General Secretary Xi Jinping, more than 7 million registered impoverished disabled people bid farewell to absolute poverty, creating a miracle of poverty eradication for the disabled, a particularly difficult group in the history of human poverty reduction.

  We must not only protect the bottom line of people's livelihood, but also weave a dense safety net of happiness.

  The door can be opened with the touch of an elbow.

On January 4, 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Beijing Winter Olympic Village for inspection.

In the model room for disabled athletes, a convenient barrier-free facility was praised by the general secretary.

  "We must handle the details well, think about what athletes want, and what they need." The general secretary urged.

  The care for disabled athletes is meticulous, and the care and assistance for the majority of disabled people need to be precise and thoughtful.

  "It is necessary to implement precise assistance and spend money on targeted assistance to specific groups of people with special difficulties." Under the leadership of General Secretary Xi Jinping, various social security measures have been increasingly improved.

  The Ministry of Civil Affairs, the China Disabled Persons' Federation and other relevant departments have guided the establishment of the living allowance system for the disabled and the nursing subsidy for the severely disabled throughout the country. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, more than 12 million disabled persons with difficulties and more than 14 million severely disabled persons have been benefited; All departments jointly support the barrier-free renovation of the disabled families in difficulties, and continuously increase the support for the disabled's medical insurance, endowment insurance and other insurances...

  To protect the rights and interests of persons with disabilities in a lasting and systematic manner, it is necessary not only to improve the legal and regulatory system, but also to establish a fundamental and long-term protection system for the rights and interests of persons with disabilities in all aspects.

  In this regard, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward a clear request: "All construction undertakings must include the cause of the disabled, and continuously improve the protection system for the rights and interests of the disabled."

  As of May 2021, there are more than 80 laws and more than 50 administrative regulations directly related to the protection of the rights and interests of persons with disabilities in my country.

  The "14th Five-Year Plan for the Protection and Development of Persons with Disabilities" makes systematic arrangements to protect the livelihood of the disabled and promote their development; the "14th Five-Year Plan for Special Education Development and Improvement" accelerates the improvement of the special education system and promotes special education High-quality development; the two-phase national five-year action plan for disability prevention will effectively reduce and control the occurrence and development of disability as the action goal... The comprehensive and three-dimensional protection system for the rights and interests of the disabled makes happiness within reach.

  "The cause of the disabled is a spring undertaking, and it is a vast social system project, which cannot be completely contracted by the government. It is necessary to mobilize all sectors of society and all aspects of the disabled to carry out activities to help the disabled." More than 30 years ago, at the Fuzhou Disabled Persons' Federation Comrade Xi Jinping made such a statement at a meeting of

  Gather together, unite great love.

  General Secretary Xi Jinping called on the whole society to be kind and caring, and encouraged more people to join the ranks of helping the disabled.

  Party committees and governments at all levels take the promotion of the cause of the disabled as their own responsibility, and the disabled people's federations at all levels give full play to their representative, service, and management functions, and strive to be the "mother family" and "confidant" of the disabled. Enthusiastic hands, more and more "planters" and "cultivators" gather together for "spring career"...

  In the spring breeze of the new era, the cause of the disabled in my country has reached a new level and opened up a new situation.

strength, follow the dream

  "The able-bodied can live a wonderful life, and the disabled can also live a wonderful life." "I hope you will continue to use practical actions to bring out the brilliance of life, and to interpret and write a life without regrets."

  After 6 years, Yang Yufang and Gao Zhihong of Tangshan Paraplegic Nursing Home still clearly remember General Secretary Xi Jinping's inspiring words and warm moments of cordial interaction with them.

  Over the years, they have insisted on reciting poems for the elderly in the nursing home to spread positive energy; doing handicrafts for charity sales, subsidizing students from poor families, and doing their best to bring beauty to the people around them.

  "The disabled are equal members of the big social family, an important force in the development of human civilization, and an important force in upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics."

  General Secretary Xi Jinping always upholds full respect and affirmation of the main role and ability of persons with disabilities, guides the whole society to correctly understand and treat persons with disabilities, and encourages the majority of persons with disabilities to pursue progress in adversity, create happiness in the absence of disabilities, and create a broad stage in the new era.

  Huang Daoliang, a staff member of the Disabled Persons' Federation in Minqing County, Fujian Province, kept his graduation certificate from Minjiang Vocational University, and the issuer clearly printed the three words "Xi Jinping".

  In 1988 and 1989, Huang Daoliang, a disabled candidate, took the college entrance examination twice.

It was not until the third year that Minjiang Vocational University, where Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, was also its president, admitted him by exception.

Huang Daoliang became the first university student without arms in Fujian Province.

  "For me, this is no less than a rebirth."

  Today, schooling and employment are not just for "lucky people" such as Huang Daoliang.

A set of data witnesses the increasingly broad path of Chinese disabled people to pursue their dreams:
