Yang Jia's journal 
The Beijing Paralympic Games begin tomorrow night. From today until September 18th, China Drive will have an old friend, Yang Jia, to talk about these Games and the life of disabled people in China. As a member of the "National Political Consultative Committee" she shared her journal with us during the time of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

 

The Paralympic Games will kick off on September 6. Many Chinese people may not be familiar with this sporting event, but the concept of caring for the handicapped is becoming more popular through the games. The Chinese people's newfound understanding and support for handicapped people have attracted media attention.
