"Great place to eat"

When Song Yanyan first met Lü Yuanxiong, Lu Yuanxiong was wrapped in gauze. On December 5, 2010, a fire broke out in Daofu County, Sichuan Province, in order to protect the safety of the country and the people's lives and property, Lu Yuanxiong and his comrades-in-arms were ordered to rush to the scene to rescue, due to the sudden change in wind direction, he and his comrades-in-arms were instantly engulfed by fire. Lu Yuanxiong became the only survivor of the fire, but he was also scarred. Burns were as high as 80% of the body, 10 fingers were amputated, and the outer auricles were burned. Due to his serious injuries, he was hospitalized for a long time.

In 2012, Song Yanyan heard the heroic story of Lü Yuanxiong's firefighting, and her admiration for the soldiers and her admiration for Lu Yuanxiong quietly sprouted in her heart. Every rest day, Song Yanyan took the initiative to visit Lu Yuanxiong, carefully took care of food and living, helped Lü Yuanxiong regain confidence in life, and finally, the two formed a good relationship and entered into marriage. Soon after the marriage, with the help of the Qujing Municipal Government and multi-departmental coordination, Song Yanyan was transferred from Xuanwei Dashan to teach at Xiaohewan Primary School in the urban area, making it more convenient for the family to get together.

In fact, warmth doesn't just come from loved ones. In Qujing Fuhe Paper Products Packaging Factory, the number of disabled employees exceeds 20 of the 30 employees. Chen Zhi, the head of the packaging plant, was initially worried about the efficiency of the disabled employees, and the performance of the employees impressed him. "That serious and responsible energy is particularly touching." Chen Zhi said.

In order to support factories to accept and place the disabled, the local tax department took the initiative to remind them to assist in applying for tax incentives. Since 2020, Fuhe Paper Products Packaging Factory has enjoyed the preferential policy of tax refund for the placement of disabled people in employment, with a cumulative tax refund of more than 2 million yuan. In order to protect the rights and interests of the disabled, promote the construction of harmonious social labor relations, and allow enterprises that place the disabled to work to fully enjoy the preferential policies of the state, the Qujing Municipal Taxation Department, together with the finance and disability federations, has established a work coordination and operation mechanism, and has made joint efforts in the formulation and issuance of policy documents, sending policies to the door, clarifying the collection and management work, exchanging work experience and measures, and arranging specific work for the implementation of preferential tax policies.

Advances in technology have also made it easier for people with disabilities to find employment. Zhu Qunshun, head of Qujing Xianfeng Welfare Co., Ltd., said that Ding Fuzhu, a deaf-mute employee in the factory, is 28 years old this year, but he is already a 10-year-old employee of the factory. 10 years ago, Ding Fuzhu came from the countryside of Qujing and could not read or write by hand. With the help of old employees, in the past 10 years, he has not only become a good hand in the garment factory, but also learned to write and use a smartphone. Nowadays, most of the garment making equipment is computer-controlled, Zhu Qunshun said: "Disabled employees, especially deaf and mute employees, there is no problem in learning new system operation techniques, no worse than healthy people!" There is a job, relying on the ability to eat is particularly fragrant! Zhu Qunshun said.

Families in distress due to illness -

"Cure the disease, get your life back on track"

"Uncle good! Welcome to my house! "In the Wangqiying community of Union Street in Panlong District, Kunming City, before anyone entered the house, they heard the voice of Xiao Mingming (pseudonym). Only 4 years old, but particularly lively and cheerful and polite, it is difficult to imagine that this small body has undergone dozens of chemotherapy.

In 2017, Xiaoming was found to have retinoblastoma shortly after birth, and the originally happy and happy family fell into difficulties. The doctor suggested removing the eyeball, "The child is so small, take off the eyeball, I, the mother, will feel guilty for a lifetime." As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Huang Yuanyuan is not willing to give up, and took the child to Shanghai to seek medical treatment, and the reply was: there are ways, but the cost is high, and many expensive drugs outside the reimbursement policy must be used." After 4 years of treatment, it cost more than 1 million yuan and used up all the family's savings.

"Don't look at the black hair of Huang Yuan's perfect head, in fact, it is all dyed." The child was sick, and the mother was white-headed. "When Wu Qian, a civil affairs specialist in the Wangqiying community, visited, she learned about the situation of Huang Yuanyuan's family and helped the mother and son apply for a minimum guarantee in 2018." We insist on the combination of 'household insurance' and 'person insurance', Huang Yuanyuan's family situation is special: the child's medical expenses are large, the mother can not take care of the child can not work, to the mother and son both applied for 'single insurance', a total of 1400 yuan per month. Wu Qian introduced.

Even if there is a minimum guarantee, it is a drop in the bucket for a single-parent family that needs to be treated, and the community introduces Huang Yuanyuan to a job in a nearby supermarket. "Fortunately, the staff is flexible and calculates money by the hour. If the child is in good health, I will go to work more; if I have a fever, I will first tighten the child's body. Huang Yuanyuan said that earning a thousand blocks a month can at least pay kindergarten tuition.

In addition to the minimum guarantee and part-time income, the community also makes full use of policies and mobilizes resources to help seek other support. The child fell seriously ill suddenly, applied for temporary assistance from the government, and received 8,000 yuan last year; reported to social organizations such as the Red Cross and obtained humanitarian assistance; every New Year's Festival, the first thing the community thought of was Huang Yuanyuan's family, sending rice flour oil...

"The hardest days are over. The illness was cured, life was back on track – I went to work, he went to class, I grew up with him, he grew up with me. When he said this, Huang Yuanyuan's eyes were moist, and the tears contained both the bitterness of accompanying his son for many years to treat his illness, and the joy of starting life again.

The reporter visited and found that many of the urban difficult groups were impoverished due to illness. In Yuxi City, about 60% of the nearly 60,000 urban and rural low-income insurance recipients suffer from chronic diseases or serious diseases, followed by poverty caused by disability, accounting for about 28%. To this end, the Yuxi Disabled Persons' Federation, the Health Commission, the Medical Insurance Bureau and other departments have taken the initiative to coordinate to check the seriously disabled and seriously ill people in low-income families, and to include 1204 severely disabled people and 390 seriously ill patients who meet the conditions into the scope of low-insurance protection with reference to "single households".

Elderly groups, new arrivals in the city -

"There is a community, really warm"

After receiving 680 yuan for many years, the most recent low insurance received 800 yuan, Wang Jianguo Zhang Dengzhi and his wife are very happy. "There is community and it is really warm. As soon as there is a policy adjustment, the community tells us for the first time. As long as we meet the conditions, the community will try to help us declare. Zhang Dengzhi, a resident of Donghua Road Community in Jinma Street, Guandu District, Kunming City, said.

When the couple was young, they had no stable income from odd jobs, no pension after retirement, and no child support. During a home visit, after the community staff learned about the relevant situation, they helped the couple apply for help such as minimum guarantee. Add up, the couple can have 30,000 yuan a year.

"The living expenses are nothing, mainly medicine money." Zhang Dengzhi said that two people save, buy some small dishes, half a kilogram of meat, can eat three or four days; but Wang Jianguo has diabetes, a month of medicine money of six or seven hundred yuan. "Fortunately, the policy is good: the wife hospitalization has nursing insurance, a daily subsidy of 70 yuan; the low-insurance hospitalization also has civil affairs assistance; plus it is a chronic disease, various policies are calculated, last January, the husband was hospitalized, spent more than 3,000 yuan, only 300 yuan, reimbursement of nearly 90%." Zhang Dengzhi said that reducing the burden of medical treatment has solved a major problem in the life of the elderly.

The most connected to the elderly is the community. Zhou Lihua, a community worker, regularly learns about the living conditions of elderly residents through the community pioneer housekeeper, and many elderly people report that their lives are lonely, and the community encourages the elderly to participate in community activities. "Every day I do hygiene, the corridors are clean, the mood is much more comfortable; the community activities, I go to the handle, I know a lot of people." Zhang Dengzhi took the initiative to be a building grid worker, cleaning 5 grid units, with a monthly income of 500 yuan, and also subsidizing the family.

Society is also becoming more and more caring for the elderly. "Now we can not only take the bus for free, but also the subway for free! A few days ago I took the subway to Daguanlou, did not spend a penny, comfortable and fast. Speaking of the preferential treatment he enjoys in taking public transportation, Zhang Dengzhi can't hide his excitement.

Eating according to ability, everyone has the confidence. In view of the newly relocated households in the city, in the Resettlement Area of Oujiawan in Ludian County, Yunnan Province, the Ludian Project Department of the Second Bureau of China Construction has built a night school for migrant workers to help and support on the construction site. From being able to do chores, to being trained, bricklaying and pouring are all kinds of practice, and the life of migrant workers Zhou Yingxian's family is getting better and better.
