By Qian Jing
On August 22, children and residents of the North Sichuan Road Sub-district Community experienced “blindness” in the 3rd National Disability Prevention Day Activity with the theme of “Preventing Disability from Beginning”.
Wearing a black eye mask to isolate the eyes from the light, participants with absence of vision experienced basic life movements like box groping, clothes dressing, fetching and drinking water, etc. to feel the world in the dark.
It is acquired that the number of people with disabilities in the North Sichuan Road Sub-district is 3,235. The activity leader said that disability prevention is closely related to personal health, family happiness, and economic and social development. The purpose of this activity is to enable the whole society to understand, care for, support and help the disabled and jointly promote the development of support for the disabled.
