The disabled in the new era | Yang Lihua, a caring person in Dongfang City: Nourishing the disabled with love

New Hainan Client, Nanhai Net, Nanguo Metropolis Daily June 19 news (reporter Zhong Yu correspondent Sun Hao Zheng Zhichen) In 2017, Dongfang Hongsheng Disabled Person Service Co., Ltd. was established, with the vision of providing day care services for the poor and severely disabled through the establishment of an industrial disability + severe disabled person care (day care) base, liberating the labor force of poor disabled families, and driving local disabled people and relatives of disabled people to find local employment. Over the years, although the factory often can't make ends meet because the market has not been opened, Yang Lihua has poured a lot of money into the factory every year, which is the couple's savings and retirement wages for many years. But she still has no complaints and no regrets, "just want to give the majority of disabled friends a satisfactory job, a home warmth." Recently, during an interview in Dongfang City, Hainan Province, Yang Lihua, who is nearly a flower armour, told reporters.

The misfortune of the child becomes a pain in the hearts of the parents

In 1989, Yang Lihua and his wife were fortunate to have a son, named Huang Bin. Looking at the child's bright and delicate eyes, Yang Lihua and his wife poured all their love and hope into the child. However, when the child was 7 years old, the couple found that Huang Bin's ears were a bit "back". For this situation of the child, the couple began to think that it was a general small problem, so they sent it to the local hospital for routine treatment. However, the development of the disease is heart-wrenching, and after the initial treatment, the child not only did not get better, but also became more and more serious, and finally developed to "almost all the sounds in the outside world, the child did not respond."

Faced with this situation in the child, the couple began to seek medical treatment. Wages, savings, and time were spent on the treatment of Huang Bin's ears during those years. These are not the main ones, "the most uncomfortable thing is that every day in the face of the innocence and helplessness of the child, the couple is bleeding in their hearts." Yang Lihua said that this kind of helplessness and pain is something that parents of healthy children cannot understand. Perhaps it is like this, and now, Yang Lihua and his wife are doing their best to help these disabled children.

Time flowed, Huang Bin also gradually grew up, although it was a first-degree disability, but the ear's hearing was also restored a lot after active treatment. Yang Lihua said that for more than 30 years, she has deeply experienced the difficulty of disabled people and the helplessness of their parents. Because of this, she founded a garment factory after retirement, "with the aim of letting the majority of disabled people have a home and a little social warmth."

Factories are opened to recruit workers for those who need help

"It's not easy to find a job due to physical handicap and I don't want to burden my family. Coming to work in the workshop, you can not only learn the skills of sewing, but also get some labor remuneration, which is very good. Fu Guidong, a 28-year-old physically disabled person from Basuo Town, Dongfang City, introduced that he was found to have polio when he was 3 years old, and he has not been treated due to family financial difficulties. In recent years, his leg problems have become more and more serious, and he is basically unable to walk. Before, at home, because the family was poor, he was full and hungry, "the younger brother of the family is still in school, his parents live on temporary work, and the economic income is not high." Through the introduction of the village cadres, I came here to work, which can greatly reduce the financial burden on my family. "When I first arrived, like all the disabled employees who had just arrived, Fu Guidong didn't know anything about any kind of work in the factory. After some training and study, Fu Guidong is now not only familiar with the technology, but also a supervisor.

In 2018, after yang Lihua retired, she founded the Dongfang Hongsheng Garment Processing Factory for the Disabled in the courtyard of her own home in Basuo Town, Dongfang City, and arranged for more than 20 disabled people with difficulties to find employment, mainly providing sewing services and embroidery handicrafts. Yang Lihua said that the original intention of running the factory is to provide day care services for the severely impoverished disabled through the establishment of an industrial disability + severe disabled care (day care) base, liberate the labor force of poor disabled families, drive local disabled people and relatives of disabled people to find employment nearby, and walk out of a new path of poverty alleviation in which farmers increase income, industrial development, enterprise growth, and multi-win-win results.

Soon, Dongfang Hongsheng Disabled Person Service Co., Ltd. added a brand of employment poverty alleviation base for the disabled, with the purpose of helping and driving more poor disabled people to increase their income through employment and better realize their self-worth.

Helping the disabled, no matter how tired and tired, we must persist

"Our company will work with the Oriental Disabled Persons' Federation to provide special free skills training for the disabled before they take up their jobs." Come to work in the employment and poverty alleviation base for the disabled, we will also provide food and accommodation, so that they feel at home. Yang Lihua said. At the same time, she revealed that at present, the problem facing the base is the lack of orders and no fixed sales channels. In fact, it is said that it is a factory, but the whole factory is a great home. The mangoes in the house are ripe, and these disabled workers pick them at home; the castrated chickens in the yard are bigger, and the workers "add vegetables without authorization"... In the past two years, there has been almost no revenue because of no orders. Every day, dozens of people eat, drink and sleep in the factory, "consuming tens of thousands of yuan every month." So every day when it comes to eating, there are several tables lined up here. In the past two years, Yang Lihua and his wife have poured more than 400,000 yuan into the factory.

Some time ago, the Oriental Disabled Persons' Federation and relevant departments reached out to help and pulled a 50,000 yuan cargo order to the factory. "It's not much, but there's business at last, and the kids are just as excited as I am, and they're busy every day." Yang Lihua said.

She introduced that perhaps because the couple is very good to these children, so that they feel warm and caring, so there is no life, these children like to spend here, "the factory as a home." Or maybe it is so, Yang Lihua and his wife believe: "Even if it is difficult, we must open the factory, just so that these children have dignity and dependence." ”

To this end, Yang Lihua plans to expand the scale of the factory, and has rented a piece of land in Eight Towns, "not only to build a standardized factory, but also to build some accommodation and other living facilities, so that these disabled people can live a happy life."

Of course, the days ahead are still very difficult, including plant construction, construction funds, production facilities and product markets, which are all obstacles for Yang Lihua and these children. But Yang Lihua is still willing to go on: "Even if it is difficult, try to overcome it, for the sake of the children." She also hopes that more caring people can lend a helping hand to jointly make the factory bigger and stronger, and pave a happy path for these poor disabled people.
