On the afternoon of 4 March, at the first "committee passage" of the Second Session of the 14 th CPPCC National Committee, there was an impressive detail: When the third group of members came to the stage, Zheng Jun, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, helped Li Qingzhong, who was behind him, and only then turned around and walked to his position until the latter was standing.
Presumably, many ** live broadcast people were a little confused at that time. Then Li Qingzhong's self-introduction revealed the bottom of the "mystery" - "Hello everyone, I am Li Qingzhong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, from the China Disabled Persons' Federation. ”
Member Li Qingzhong is a severely visually impaired person who only has a sense of light.
On the road of life, he has had many role changes: before he lost his eyesight, he did scientific research at the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; After losing his sight, he worked as a special education teacher at a school for the blind in Beijing for nearly 20 years. Currently, he is a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a director of the China Disabled Persons' Federation, and the chairman of the China Blind Association.
You can have no eyesight, you can't have no vision, you have light in your heart, and you have a way under your feet." His words at the scene touched the heartstrings of countless people.
If there is light in the heart, life will not lose its brilliance.
This "light" is the self-improvement of the disabled, and it is the love of life and the pursuit of career that they always maintain in the face of setbacks or ups and downs in life.
As a representative of the disabled, Li Qingzhong mentioned many of their stories on the "Committee Channel". There is Liu Fang, a blind teacher who is deeply involved in education, has made more than 800 inspirational speeches, and opened the window of the soul for countless children; Huang Ying, a blind girl who passed the general college entrance examination for the disabled and used braille test papers to take the Wuhan University of Technology; In order to realize the dream of climbing Mount Everest, Zhang Hong...... insisted on carrying 30 kilograms of weight every day and climbing stairs for 5 hours, and finally became the first blind person in Asia to climb Mount Everest
They are strong people who are optimistic about life, and they are brave people who dare to challenge their fate. In their stories, we feel the self-improvement belief of striving to achieve our dreams.
This "light" should also come from the care and care of the whole society, and when they are in trouble, they should come from our kind "help" and "help".
There are more than 85 million people with disabilities in our country, including more than 17 million people with visual disabilities. They face many inconveniences in their lives and need care and attention from us. In recent years, the state and society have continuously strengthened disability prevention, and the level of health services for persons with disabilities has been continuously improved. Special education has been continuously developed to ensure that the rights and interests of persons with disabilities receive education; We will continue to promote the development of culture and sports for the disabled, and make the lives of the disabled more colorful ......For the majority of disabled people, thinking about them and helping them is like putting a "beam of light" on their way forward.
They, with their self-reliance, shine on the world we live in together. There is no reason why we should not be a light that shines on them, as well as on us and our society.
