Our Lions enjoyed the superb performances of the Self-Improvement Art Troupe, listened to the rich life stories of visually impaired friends in their company, and deeply touched us with your cheerful optimism, humor, and perseverance. Lions are more than willing to work with such a team because it's a process of shining on each other and perfecting each other. This year is the 38th International Blind Day, the theme is "New Journey and New Deeds", just today is also the inauguration ceremony of the new team of the Mutual Aid Association, I believe: on the solid foundation laid by President Zhang Shiwei, under the leadership of the new governing team led by President Feng Yiping, the Chengdu Visually Impaired Mutual Aid Association will be able to create a new situation, more and more members, more activities, Lions will continue to accompany and support the growth of the Mutual Aid Association.

Wu Jun, chairman of the Sichuan Blind Association, said in his speech: Today I feel a lot, and our mutual aid association has gone through a process of more than 8 years, which is really not easy. I remember that in 2012, teacher Zhang Shiwei called me once. At that time, he said that now that he is getting older and older, he is a little unable to work in the Blind Association, and hopes that he will lead the establishment of a blind mutual aid organization, and everyone will help each other. Teacher Zhang said a sentence at that time, and he was particularly impressed. He said: "I have accumulated a little savings over the years through my own hard work and struggle. But most of my savings can be said to be created by blind friends using massage techniques. So I think that since they have helped me create wealth, I want to use this money for the rest of my life to repay them, to take it from the blind, to use it for the blind. ”
Pictured: Xu Liang, second deputy director of the Sichuan Representative Office of the China Lions Federation, delivered a speech.
Now that 9 years have passed, I feel that Teacher Zhang has fulfilled his promise and has always adhered to his original intention. Pay for and contribute to the work of blind friends. So it was particularly touching and also very warm. Today I met a lot of new friends and old friends here. At the same time, today came many, many volunteer friends, our taxi industry long-term enthusiastic friends to help the blind. So when it comes to their names, we're all familiar with them. Today, the brothers and sisters of many service teams of our Sichuan Representative Office of China Lion Federation came to the scene, and they are a group of volunteers with great love and wisdom. They will not only be of great help to our mutual aid, but also to the blind associations of provinces, cities, districts and counties. The result of this help is that more and more blind friends benefit. So we should give them our most sincere thanks.

International Day for the Blind is 15 October, the 8th anniversary of our Mutual Aid Society and the handover ceremony of new and old teams. We are also celebrating Our International Day of the Blind in advance of this ceremony. So today I feel that there are many blind friends on the scene, which makes me particularly emotional, that is, the provincial and municipal blind associations carry out activities, and they may not be able to invite so many blind friends, which shows that our mutual aid association is indeed very cohesive.

Chairman Wu Jun said in his speech: Taking advantage of today's opportunity to release a few messages to everyone, it is also a little bit of a gift before the festival. First, the self-improvement art troupe of our mutual aid association, the teachers of the art troupe are now more and more exquisite in this artistic level. From the third prize of the musical instrument group in the previous year to the second prize in the culture and art of the city this year, I think this performance level has improved. Then the news I posted here is that the Chengdu Municipal Cultural Center is willing to carry out free art training for music lovers among disabled friends for a long time, including blind friends. If our blind friends find it inconvenient to go to the cultural center, they will teach in a place where blind friends are more concentrated.

The second information, we have some light sense, you can also see a little low vision friends, the Chinese Blind Association recommended a low vision gaze apparatus for us, they will be October 12th, 13th these two days, to Chengdu, Sichuan to carry out public welfare experience activities, please mutual aid will count how many low-vision friends, see if you can set up an experience point in the mutual aid association or go to a certain place in Chengdu experience point. This is mainly for friends with a vision of 0.01 or more, but the field of vision must be good. Please tell each other.

Third information, on the eve of international blind day, the reading promotion committee of the provincial blind association specially planned the poetry recitation activity of golden autumn rhyme, and now nearly 30 friends have signed up. If our visually impaired people's mutual aid association member friends, including blind recitation enthusiasts around you, have such an interest, they can sign up. We are now registering online, and after the 9th, we will select outstanding players to carry out the final of the recitation competition at the Chengdu Municipal Cultural Center. At that time, we will also invite some experts and some professional teachers in the field of recitation to do some evaluation, evaluation and demonstration on the spot. It is hoped that members of the Mutual Aid Association will stand out in this recitation competition.

I wish all of our masters, caring people, volunteers, and our brothers and sisters who serve blind friends a safe, happy and healthy life.
I wish blind friends a happy holiday, and work with us to improve ourselves and laugh at life.
