QINGDAO: As the city welcomes Paralympic sailors from around the world, officials reflected on the 400,000 disabled residents of Qingdao who now have a system of social support.

"Care from the whole society gives the disabled more warmth and happiness," noted Xia Geng, mayor of Qingdao.

Qingdao has highlighted the cause of disabled people with assistance in recovery, education, employment and alleviating poverty through an improved social welfare system for disabled citizens.

Under the "Yangtze River New Milestone Initiative", 300 handicapped people received artificial limbs and 200 people suffering from severely mentally afflicted have benefited from the plan.

A massage shop run by blind brothers Zhang Dengdian and Zhang Dengshu, living in Fushanhou in Qingdao, opened to customers on September 1.

"I am not a burden of my family anymore and can earn money if our business goes well," said the elder Zhang proudly.

Over 6,000 disabled people have received vocational training and 3,866 found new jobs over the past five years. Today 90 percent of handicapped people in Qingdao capable of working have jobs, according to local government statistics.

About 90 million yuan in poverty relief subsidies have been granted and 47 poverty alleviation projects have been implemented in Qingdao.

More than 40 centers have been established to assist the handicapped rise from poverty and obtain employment.

Local government subsidies assist 4,500 students who suffer from poverty and disability, or have a family member who does.
