Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the lives of people with disabilities have comprehensively improved, and their sense of gain, happiness, and security have significantly increased.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has always shown special care and attention to people with disabilities. He pointed out that people with disabilities are equal members of the social family and an important force in the development of human civilization. People with disabilities have aspirations and capabilities to make significant contributions to human society. Party committees and governments at all levels must attach great importance to the disability cause, regard promoting the disability cause as their due responsibility, and incorporate the disability cause into all construction undertakings, continuously improving the system for safeguarding the rights and interests of people with disabilities. Bearing in mind the General Secretary's instructions, from basic living security for people with disabilities to precise rehabilitation services, from the development of special education to employment and entrepreneurship support, an increasingly完善 multi-dimensional guarantee and service system is supporting the stable lives of 85 million people with disabilities. Various regions have incorporated disability work into the Party committees' and governments' livelihood projects and annual assessment content.

Currently, Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and other places have taken the lead in including high-tech assistive devices such as AR subtitle glasses and smart prostheses in the subsidy catalog. The barrier-free environment is a necessary condition to ensure the equal participation of people with disabilities in social life. Implementing the "Law on the Construction of Barrier-Free Environments," as of now, over 1.2 million households of people with severe disabilities in difficulty have completed barrier-free renovations nationwide, over-fulfilling the "14th Five-Year Plan" tasks ahead of schedule; with the announcement of the fourth batch of barrier-free reform pilots for drug instructions, over 1,500 types of drugs are covered, making it more convenient and safer for people with disabilities to take medicine. A number of barrier-free functions such as voice recognition, text conversion, and barrier-free cinemas have been launched and applied, covering high-frequency scenarios in the lives of people with disabilities, helping them bridge the "digital divide"; policies and services for people with disabilities to obtain driving licenses are continuously optimized. Six departments including the Ministry of Transport and the China Disabled Persons' Federation have promoted various regions to carry out practical activities for the people such as barrier-free renovations of highway service areas, urban public transport, passenger ships, and waiting areas. Scenic spots and museums in various regions are continuously optimizing barrier-free environments and launching barrier-free exhibitions, allowing people with disabilities to experience the beauty of culture through in-depth tours. The Chinese Dream is the dream of the nation, the dream of the country, the dream of every Chinese, and also the dream of every friend with a disability. Today, in the process of Chinese modernization, the "spring cause" of disability undertakings is flourishing, and the vast number of people with disabilities are bound to embrace an even happier and brighter tomorrow.
