"Why can't I buy just one shoe?" There have been questions from people with physical disabilities. Now that call has an answer. According to Workers Daily, recently, the China Disabled People's Cause News and Publicity Promotion Association, together with Tmall and Pullback, Skechers, Reebok, Jordan, Camel, Semir, ECCO 7 brands launched the "One Shoe Plan", at half the price of a pair of shoes, to provide a single shoe sales service for the disabled.
Buying shoes and buying a pair of shoes is logical, which is the norm for people with sound limbs. For example, Liu Wenyan, mentioned in the report, once sighed, "I thought of finding a person as big as my foot to buy shoes in a joint venture, but the sea of people is vast, where to find?" Liu Wenyan was amputated in a car accident when she was 4 years old, and the problem of buying shoes plagued her for 33 years, and the shoes she bought always wore one and threw one. Now, with the One Shoe Program, she can buy only one shoe at a time instead of buying one and throwing one.
According to statistics, there are about 85 million disabled people in China, of which more than 24 million are physically disabled and more than 2 million are amputated. For these 2 million people, they will more or less encounter the problem of buying shoes. Facing up to their hardships and solving their problems is an important proposition that the whole society should pay attention to.
What is civilization? Specific to the treatment of people with disabilities, everyone is different. What can be reached is that civilization is an institutional arrangement, based on system design, to provide a sound institutional guarantee for the disabled; civilization is to see, the whole society can see their difficulty; civilization is to listen, listen to their voices; civilization is more action, with the system design, let the system go to the ground, so that the disabled can gain dignity in institutional guarantees and social care.
Some people say: "The dignity of the weak is the measure of social civilization." As Si said, when the reasonable demands of the disabled can be met, they are integrated into society like able-bodied people, living a good life with their own hands, such a society is full of goodwill and has a civilized temperament, and the reason is that such a society cares for the weak, respects the weak, and continues to bring warmth and strength to the weak.
At present, the 11th Paralympic Games and the 8th Special Olympics are in full swing, and people are amazed by the fighting spirit displayed by the disabled athletes again and again. They transcend physical deficiencies, challenge themselves, and push their limits, which is indeed admirable.
The disabled are self-reliant, they are both strong and tenacious, setting a benchmark for society and inspiring countless people to walk through the troughs of life. To a certain extent, everyone feels courage more or less from the disabled, and the whole society comes to help them, which belongs to positive feedback, is it not justified?
If you understand the gentleness and brightness of the "One Shoe Project", you will also understand the progress of society. For people with disabilities, they need more than just the One Shoe Program, they need all aspects of kindness, more concern and encouragement.
The person in charge of the relevant department said: "The 'One Shoe Plan' is just the beginning, we hope to have more cooperation, stimulate more market forces to participate in public welfare undertakings, eliminate prejudice and discrimination, and give more warmth and care to the disabled." ”
It is true that the "One Shoe Plan" is just the beginning, and there is no end to increasing institutional protection for the disabled, and there is no end to giving care and care to the disabled. It is expected that more enterprises will take the initiative to assume social responsibility, and the assumption of this responsibility can not only highlight corporate morality, but also allow more enterprises to participate.
Zhang Haidi, chairman of the China Disabled Persons' Federation, once called on the whole society to fully understand the value, dignity and rights of the disabled, and pay more attention to the social security work of the disabled. Nowadays, with the increasing progress of society, people pay more and more attention to details and pay more and more attention to the level of view, all in order to create a good social environment for the disabled to "equality, participation and sharing".
Understanding the disabled, approaching the disabled, stimulating the life potential of the disabled, and allowing the disabled to enjoy a better quality of life, we are on the road. (For more news, please pay attention to Yangcheng Pie pai.ycwb.com)
