Original title: This NPC deputy "reads" the ** work report with his fingertips, and his wish is too poked.
Yesterday (5th), the second session of the 14th National People's Congress opened, and Wang Yongcheng, a representative of the National People's Congress, got a special ** work report - snow-white 8K paper, ring binding, with concave and convex braille arranged in an orderly manner, which is a specially made Braille version of the ** work report.
Among the nearly 3,000 deputies to the 14th National People's Congress, Wang Yongcheng is the only visually impaired person, speaking for tens of millions of visually impaired people across the country, which he regards as his own responsibility. "If we can't see us, let more people see us," he said. ”
When Wang Yongcheng was 19 years old, he lost his sight due to an accident and experienced a long period of despair and depression, so he decided to go out to learn massage, start a business, and carry out training ......Today, he is self-reliant and has helped more than 6,000 blind people on the road to self-reliance
Misery is an aged stake.
Always strive to blossom."
In 1985, Wang Yongcheng of Sanming, Fujian Province, lost his sight due to an accident and fell into darkness in the good years, which made him extremely pessimistic. At that time, he refused to have contact with outsiders, and even had thoughts of suicide.
In the trough, Wang Yongcheng met his wife, and the encouragement of the other party rekindled his confidence. "I suddenly feel that I can't live like this, suffering is an old stake, and I always have to try to bloom. He secretly made up his mind that he must walk out of a "bright and upright avenue".
Later, when he heard that there was a school in Henan that taught Chinese medicine massage for the blind, he seemed to have found the "road of life", and excitedly called out a few blind friends and decided to set off to find this school.
However, on the way to the north to study, Wang Yongcheng took the wrong car, got off the wrong station, bumped and bumped along the way, and even fell into the icy river and almost drowned, and in the darkness, he never gave up looking for the light of life.
He recalled: "Along the way, we encountered many setbacks and difficulties in our study career, but in the end, we met many well-wishers and enthusiastic people to help us. In the end, I was able to enroll in this school. ”
In the face of this hard-won opportunity, he did not dare to slack off. When he couldn't see the teacher's technique in class, he held the teacher's hand to feel the angle and force; Listen to the explanatory tape repeatedly before the anatomy class so that you can understand the structure of the human body more quickly during the class; In between meals, he practiced the techniques he had just learned on himself.
After graduating with excellent grades, he returned to Sanming, Fujian Province to start a journey of entrepreneurship and strive to continue to "blossom" in his life.
Rained on his own.
He wants to make umbrellas for more people.
In 1995, Wang Yongcheng rented a 10-square-meter façade room in Sanming and founded the first local Chinese medicine massage health center for the blind.
Wang Yongcheng recalled that in the 90s of the last century, everyone did not know about "blind massage", and many people even thought that it was a place dedicated to massage the blind. In order to attract customers, he carried out free massage activities every Saturday and Sunday, and gradually won the reputation of the shop with his exquisite skills.
At the health center, he heard someone call him "Dr. Wang" for the first time, and he was so excited that he almost cried. This title is the most splendid "happy flower" that bloomed in his suffering life.
I've been in the rain myself, so I want to make umbrellas for more people. After the business gradually improved, Wang Yongcheng expanded the scale and solved the employment problem of more than a dozen blind people. At the same time, he also looks further ahead: "I hope that more blind people can learn a skill and let them have their own life and work." ”
In this way, "Dr. Wang" has another identity of "Teacher Wang". In 1996, with the support of the local authorities, he started a massage training course for the blind. After working in Sanming for eight years, Wang Yongcheng brought his skills and experience to Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province, and founded the Massage Guidance Center for the Blind, helping the blind to train massage techniques, and was also responsible for follow-up employment guidance and entrepreneurship consulting.
Over the past 20 years, he has trained more than 6,000 blind masseurs for free, with an employment rate of 98%. At the same time, he also encouraged everyone to choose a career according to their interests: "Some people don't like massage, but they are very talented in **, you can try to go live broadcast, and some people prefer to be typists, voice customer service ......."We have been looking at how to broaden the employment channels for everyone. ”
In the process of helping others, Wang Yongcheng did not forget to improve himself. He has published nearly 20 articles, systematically summarized the methods of knee paralysis, migraine and other diseases, and also won a bachelor's degree, and after the review of national experts, he became the first blind person in Fujian with a senior medical title.
We can't see it.
But let more people see us".
Wang Yongcheng's years of dedication have won him high recognition from the masses. In 2023, he was elected as a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress.
As a member of the blind people, Wang Yongcheng understands better what the blind community needs. When he learned that the medical qualifications of blind people were difficult to verify and affect employment, he spoke out; When he found that tens of thousands of low-vision children across the country had difficulty reading textbooks, he proposed to publish large-print textbooks for low-vision students in his class.
After repeated efforts, more people finally understood and paid attention to the visually impaired group. In November last year, Wang Yongcheng received a reply to a deputy's suggestion produced in Braille for the first time in the history of the work of NPC deputies.
This year's National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, on the basis of full research, Wang Yongcheng prepared two proposals on improving the construction of the pension service system, attaching importance to the special needs of the disabled, and promoting the integrated development of the cause of the disabled on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Wang Yongcheng introduced that the "two integrations" are to hope for the integrated development of the two sides of Fujian and Taiwan and the integrated development of the disabled and able-bodied; The "Three Hospitals" is to hope that Fujian will have more and more massage parlors for the blind, special education colleges and happy homes for the elderly; The "four modernizations" are to hope that the blind will be diversified in employment, systematized in training, industrialized in the industry, and professionalized in old-age care.
Wang Yongcheng said that the cause of the blind is the cause of his continuous struggle. "Although we can't see the world, we want the world to see us! ”
