Paralympics opens new vistas for China's disabled

Li says the Paralympics bring opportunities as subways, airports and railway stations are all equipped with facilities for the disabled.

Zhao Chunluan, head of the Party committee of the Beijing Disabled People's Federation, told a press conference on Sunday that the federation would invite 20,000 disabled people and their families to the Paralympics venues to watch the Games and cheer for the athletes.

Of the 1.66 million tickets on sale, those with best seats at the most popular events were reserved for the disabled, Zhao said.

Hundreds of thousands of Paralympics volunteers, most of whom are able bodied, must undergo about 20 hours of training on caring for the disabled.

The disabled service center of Xicheng District is one of the 32 training bases. Funded entirely by the district government, the center was built in 2006 at a cost of 30 million yuan (4.28 million U.S. dollars).

With a disabled identification card, the handicapped are entitled to the free use of the center's rehabilitation facilities, and can join activities, including handcrafts, dancing, cooking and sports. Similar centers in each district of the city also help the disabled to find jobs.

Li says each state-owned enterprise, government department or public institution in Beijing must allocate 1.7 percent of its posts to the disabled, higher than the national statutory requirement of 1.5 percent.

About 70,000 disabled people in Beijing have jobs, making up 33 percent of the city's working age disabled population. Almost 50,000 are employed through the "compulsory minimum" by units such as state-owned enterprises, and the other 20,000 work in welfare corporations, on community posts or are self-employed in small business.

He says more than 1,700 blind people work in dozens of blind massage centers, offering traditional Chinese massage treatment, which usually takes up to three years of college training.

One massage center manager says each staff member can earn 2,000 to 4,000 yuan (285 to 571 U.S. dollars) a month, depending on the number of clients.
