The blind man Jiang Yunlong pursues the light through self-improvement.

Jiang Yunlong was born in a wealthy cadre family. He once had a happy family and a healthy and lovely son. However, when he was 26 years old, he was separated from his family due to a sudden car accident. The life track of normal people has embarked on a life path that is different from that of their peers.

After the car accident, Jiang Yunlong did not tell his family what happened to him in time. Instead, he and his friends who were killed at the same time suffered the pain in silence, and agreed to jump off the building collectively if they could not recover. It was already a week after the incident when my father learned about it.

Complete blindness made Jiang Yunlong suddenly lose his direction in life. What made this man even more sad was that his wife left him and his son because of his blindness, which made him even more unable to continue living. courage. In those days, he locked himself in the room, not thinking about food and drink during the day, and being haunted by nightmares at night. His bleeding heart was constantly trembling, and he felt that he had completely fallen from a colorful world into a black world. In hell, there is no way to escape this painful torture.

For this reason, my parents saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts. In order to make him stronger, the second elder helped him get to know a blind masseur, and made him get to know many blind friends. They encouraged and learned from each other, and Jiang Yunlong gradually discovered that he was not a disabled person and could still do some things within his ability.

In order to make a living, Jiang Yunlong went to blind storytelling classes without telling his parents, but those storytelling classes had difficulty making ends meet, so how could they dare to take him in? He was confused and didn't know how to continue in the future. When he was desperate, his employer helped him enter Ziqiang Vocational School in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, where he learned acupuncture, massage and Braille. With the help of his teachers and classmates, as well as his hard work, he finally successfully obtained the junior, intermediate and senior masseur titles. When he received his diploma, he thought of the skills he had gained through hard-earned experience and could become a useful person to society. He couldn't help but shed tears and silently vowed: "I must live my life like myself!"

However, for a blind person, the road to entrepreneurship is extremely difficult. In order to continuously improve his massage skills and theoretical level, he strives for every opportunity to learn and practice, and has studied and practiced in massage parlors and physiotherapy clinics in Beijing, Shanghai, Zhuhai, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Xi'an, Yan'an and other places.

Hard work pays off. In 2001, with the help of the Yan'an City and District Disabled Persons' Federation, relevant departments and relatives, Jiang Yunlong returned to Yan'an and founded the "Yunlong Medical Massage Clinic" (later changed to the Blind Massage Rehabilitation Center )". In 2005, he obtained the title of masseur for the blind. He has been commended and awarded by the province and city many times, and received condolences and help from superior leaders. Over the years, the staff of his Massage Rehabilitation Center for the Blind has increased from the original 2 to 16 people (12 of whom are disabled), and has provided massage therapy to more than 40,000 people, of which more than 33,000 patients have been rehabilitated, many of whom have been rehabilitated. The patient sent tearful letters of thanks and banners.

While Jiang Yunlong is engaged in massage for the blind, he insists on actively participating in public welfare undertakings for the disabled. In 2008, with the help and support of the city and district Disabled Persons' Federation, he served as the chairman of the Yan'an City and Baota District Blind Association and organized the first computer training class for the blind in Yan'an City. More than 30 blind people challenged the computer and used high-tech news for the first time. Detailed reports were made on Yan'an TV, Yan'an Daily, Yan'an Weekly, and Huashang Daily. In order to enable more blind people to earn their own living, he regularly conducts free computer and massage training courses for the blind every year, and does his best to solve practical difficulties for the blind and their families. This training class has trained more than 180 blind people, and with his help, more than 60 of them have embarked on the road to escape poverty and find employment. At the same time, he often uses his own experience and experience to encourage other disabled people to become self-reliant and self-reliant, guiding them to establish a correct outlook on life and values, so that they can ignite their confidence and hope for future life, and respond to life's challenges positively and optimistically. He also led blind people to visit Wangjiaping Revolutionary Site and Memorial Hall, Yangjialing Revolutionary Site, Zaoyuan Revolutionary Site and other places to receive education on revolutionary traditions. The Yan'an Blind Association, which he is responsible for, has been rated as an "advanced collective" by the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation for three consecutive years; in 2015, Shaanxi Province rated 30 massage demonstration shops, among which his massage rehabilitation center for the blind is the only one in Yan'an. That time, the state awarded him a 150,000 yuan entrepreneurial subsidy. In order to provide more blind people with a living security and to cure more patients, he used these funds to open a branch of the Blind Massage Rehabilitation Center on the third floor of the Yan'an City Disabled Persons' Federation at the end of 2016.

He will always remember that when he was in the most difficult time, it was the party and the government that cared about and supported him. It was the Disabled Persons' Federation at all levels and caring people in society who extended a helping hand to him, which enabled him to continue to move forward. to this day. Over the years, he has never forgotten to give back to the society and enthusiastically participated in public welfare undertakings. He has repeatedly organized people to perform programs for children in Yan'an Welfare Institute and donated clothes, school supplies, food, musical instruments, etc., with a total value of more than 20,000 yuan. During holidays, he would hold some theatrical performances to let the blind and disabled people feel the care of society. If a disabled person came to the Association for the Blind and asked for help from him, he would patiently guide them, try his best to meet their requirements, and give them guidance on the direction of life and development prospects.

Every year on the Disabled Aid Day, he takes the lead in cooperating with leaders and staff from local TV stations or schools, armed police detachments, women's federations, municipal federation of trade unions, entrepreneurs and other units to carry out disability aid activities in the urban square, and sends free consolation money, blind canes, etc. to disabled friends. Daily necessities such as mobile phones, cooking pots, reading machines, and souvenirs have been well received by local citizens.

In recent years, under the recommendation of the organizational leaders, Jiang Yunlong has not only donated money to three poor college students to help them study, but has also made many donations to disaster areas, seriously ill patients, the Red Cross, and the Welfare Foundation for the Disabled , a total of more than 30,000 yuan; he also found a way to study for blind children who had lost their way; he donated all 48 volumes of Braille books that he had collected for a long time and more than 300 volumes of books left by his father during his lifetime to the Yan'an City Library to provide services to the library. It fills the gap in Braille books, allows blind friends to have a place to study for free, and enriches their spiritual life.

Now he is a model of self-improvement in Shaanxi Province, a director of the Yan'an Disabled Persons' Federation, chairman of the Yan'an City and District Blind Association, a representative of the Disabled Persons' Congress, and a member of the Provincial Blind Association. At the same time, he has also become a senior blind masseuse. Since 2008, the Association for the Blind led by him has been commended by the Disabled Persons' Federation many times, and he has also been rated as an advanced worker many times. In 2012, he was rated as an outstanding Communist Party member by the Phoenix Office.

He said that without everyone’s help and support, he would not be where he is today, so he will do his best to use the same feelings as when others helped him to help blind people who have difficulties in life and employment. Send warm hearts to the disabled, so that they can feel that there is sunshine everywhere in the world.

Talking about his wishes, Jiang Yunlong said that he hopes that his massage and rehabilitation center for the blind can be further expanded, help more patients get rid of painful torture, and at the same time solve the employment problems of more blind friends; Help blind and disabled people learn more talents and skills, such as storytelling, massage, broadcasting, playing, playing and singing, etc., and lead blind friends to step out of the darkness and move towards a glorious tomorrow with the spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance; let more units and individuals join in disability assistance activities , to help disabled friends solve their life and employment difficulties; he also wants the leaders and leaders in charge of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation to take time to follow the blind and disabled people into their living circles, understand the various difficulties of the blind and disabled people in real life and solve them. Of course, he also hopes that people from all walks of life can do their best to pay more attention to these vulnerable groups. Even if it is a helping hand when crossing the road, it is also a kind of warmth for them.

As a member of the Communist Party of China, Comrade Jiang Yunlong brightens every new day, brightens every ordinary day, and touches everyone around him. He charted the trajectory of his life with his spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance.

Yesterday, he encountered misfortune and torture in life; today, he stood up unyieldingly and used all his enthusiasm and strength to help more disadvantaged groups get out of the trough of life, become self-reliant, and become useful people to society! If Jiang Yunlong can do this, why can't we healthy people do it?
