Zhang Haidi encourages the disabled
ZHANG HAIDI, a national disabled role model, encouraged disabled people in Shenzhen in her speech in Wuzhou Guest House on Tuesday (May 10th).
Zhang flew from Shandong Province to Shenzhen to celebrate the national disabled day with Shenzheners Monday. The national disabled day falls on the third Sunday in every May.
Zhang, a Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) member, recently proposed the focus of the day be changed from soliciting help from society to encouraging the disabled to be more independent.
She told the mainly disabled audience, how she cherished her life as a writer and translator. "I like writing. Writing is the way I use to cheer myself up and tell disabled people how to face the misfortunes," said Zhang.
Zhang became a paraplegic at the age of 5 following four operations that removed tumors in her spine. She has overcome a lot of difficulties in the following 45 years.
"Disabled people should learn knowledge and skills according to their characteristics, for living and for society," Zhang said, "Shenzhen is a modern city with vigor and fierce competition. Disabled persons here should try harder to learn how to survive."
Zhang started to learn English 20 years ago. She published a bilingual book Beautiful English.
She also translated some western literature works such as Modoc: The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived. The book, about a blind elephant, was awarded a national prize on foreign literature translation.
Zhang also introduced the art of living with her husband who is not disabled. She said the disabled should not lower their standards when seeking true love.
"Don't be self-contemptuous, and try the best to build a harmonious environment for the family," said Zhang.
Zhang visited Shenzhen some 20 years ago. She was very excited about the city's development in the 20 years. "There are numerous tall buildings now, compared with the old low ones in the past," said Zhang.
