The Beijing Winter Paralympic Games officially opened on the evening of March 4, 2022. When li Duan, a visually impaired athlete, boarded the main torch platform and successfully attached the torch to the platform for a minute, all the people held their breath and stared at this tough man from Northeast China who had been selected for the national youth basketball team.
Blind people don't have light in their world, but they have a better sense of the power of sound.
"I can feel all the people who have helped me and supported me all the time, like the Paralympic flame on my upper right, warming my right face and my heart, it feels so good."
Li Duan in an interview after the event, especially thanks in the stage that one minute, he received the call "Come on!" And all the encouraging voices.
The Paralympics have brought the 15% of the world's population with disabilities back from marginalization. The 15 per cent figure should make purple fireworks -- a symbol of inclusiveness introduced by the International Paralympic Committee last year -- the star of the show.
With the Winter Olympics as an opportunity, we can just focus on this group of athletes with a special identity. See how they fight their way to applause on the field, and see their "normal lives outside of being athletes."
01. Competition Style: Inclusive clothing for people with disabilities
Everyone has the right to wear smart clothes. But it's not easy for the special 15% because there are only so few styles to refer to. This not only needs to stand on the medical perspective, to provide functional clothing for them to solve physical defects or behavioral limitations: without external help, to achieve the freedom to switch on and off. Independence and dignity are the most basic, "how to better show 'beauty', how to make them still confident in the game, even freely charming." It's more important to be considered.
Levi's, for example, made of stretch denim, "with long zippers that slide from top to bottom at the side seams and button-holding belts on the sides to hold the trousers in place when they slip."
The jeans were the first of a number of mainstream brands to create clothing for people with disabilities, and Helen Cookman became a true pioneer of inclusive design as the first fashion designer to address the need for people with disabilities to "look good".
Columnist Terry Brickley wrote in 1976 that thanks to the pants, "people in wheelchairs or on crutches have the opportunity to participate in what is now the 'cowboy craze.'" It is worth noting that Helen Cookman, who has been researching inclusive clothing since the 1950s, was herself hearing-impaired. In the 1930s, she was known for designing women's wear with menswear elements. Among her many designs for the disabled, she has also made coats, trousers and skirts with extra pockets to hold the large battery packs that power hearing AIDS.
Such inclusive design led by designers who truly belong to the disabled community is rare until today.

"Beauty" itself is inclusive, "style" of course should not stick to the ordinary road. Just as it is not difficult for us to talk about "duplicate fashion" practically, what is difficult is the avant-garde concept that breaks through prejudice and the fashion vision that is not afraid of rumors.
02. Highlights: Intelligent transportation for people with disabilities
The demonstration of "intelligent transportation" should be the same. Starting from the people-oriented design concept, Hunan Xiangjiang Group launched the "Intelligent digital Bus station kiosk System" with great sense of science and technology:
The transformation and upgrading of transportation means not only alleviates the travel pressure of the city, but also provides better travel experience for people waiting for buses. For example, the intelligent bus shelter reporting system interface obtains dynamic vehicle positioning data, as well as static bus information data including bus lines, vehicles, operation time, etc. Intelligent bus shelter announcement system interface can also obtain intelligent bus shelter announcement information, the results of the data will be sent to other application platforms, so citizens can also view the real-time dynamic vehicle, the arrival of the station situation on the phone.
The optimized intelligent transportation system is not only convenient for the disabled, but also greatly improves the travel efficiency of ordinary people.
Automatic vending machines, 55-inch ultra-thin LCD electronic station boards that can display dynamic bus information, and LED word screens have become "standard fittings" in the transformation of the station. For key stations with special scenic spots, Xiangjiang Group Intelligent Transportation will also be equipped with air-conditioned lounges and 55-inch spliced screens for citizens to check information.
There is no doubt that all science and technology enterprises in intelligent design, its foothold or return to people's life itself.
03. Same strong assist: see 15% of life, 15% of the wonderful help
At the end of the article, The good news that Chinese wheelchair curling advanced to the semifinals was posted online. As the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games entered the sixth competition day, the stories behind the athletes were gradually presented to the front of the stage.
Moon lack does not change light, sword fold does not change steel. This warm current of positive energy is also steadily transmitted, encouraging every ordinary people frustrated by the blow of ordinary days.
As a science and technology enterprise with the brand spirit of "technology is the root, integrity-based", we also uphold the spirit of dare to fight and dare to break through on the field, take science and technology as the first source of power, based on products, to create high-quality products, to provide customers with a more convenient home lifestyle, but also open a new intelligent living experience for these 15%.

every form of beauty has its uniqueness;precious is to appreciate other forms of beauty with openness;if beauty represents itself with diversity and integrity,the world will be blessed with harmony and unity There's no emphasis on differences, no need for tear-jerking scenes.
Respect and appreciation, "to make people feel that disabled people are like us, is enough."
We focus on accurate long-term design:
No longer a ignorant pursuit of the "big" site of the cool luxury, people-centered start again, more intentions is to let you worry more.
Establish a self-drying system for the main structure of the house to create a more comfortable and livable indoor and underground space.
There is no doubt about the greatness of a technology being invented, but it is a thin line of enthusiasm.
Relying on the fear of noise, pushed to the thorns, is not loud enough.
When the spotlight is on, acceptance begins to increase the odds.
