Jiang Wan (C), a member of the Shangshan Service Center for the Disabled, teaches in a lesson designed for people with disabilities in Lianhuashan Village, Yuelu District of Changsha, central China's Hunan Province, March 4, 2022. In 2013, a tragic fire left Xie Xiangqian with severe burns and physical disabilities. A year later, with the support of disabled persons federations, Xie founded the Shangshan Service Center for the Disabled in his hometown of Lianhuashan Village. The center has since become a hub for employment opportunities, offering jobs in electronic components processing, packaging, and various agricultural activities.
Over the past decade, the Shangshan Service Center for the Disabled has not only provided agricultural training but also facilitated job placements for over 5,000 individuals with disabilities. Almost 200 of them have secured employment directly through the center.
In recent years, Xie and fellow disabled individuals have reached out to schools, sharing their life stories with students. As response, some schools have taken the initiative to organize farming experiences for students under the guidance of individuals from the center to inspire the positive outlook on life among students.
