In China, disable people are almost ignored in China. Although one out of sixteen is disabled  in China, they are not receiving enough love and care. China has various neighborhoods but have less communities. Across China, there are less disabled equipments for the disabled. For example: accessible elevator, accessible building, accessible route. They don't have a large amount of pension. Fewer job opportunities, crosswalks, ramps etc are available for them.
Now I flash back to my life in Canada. In Canada, I was told there are four classes existing in Canadian society, which is a  common ground to everyone. From the top to the bottom is: disabled people, teenagers, elders, women and men. It is very obvious that men have the lowest status.  However, unlike the disabled  in Canada,  disabled people's status is lower. They  got different looks from majority people's eyes. They are considered as abnormal. Apparently, ordinary people's attitudes towards the disabled was compassion. But this is the last thing the disabled expect from ordinary people.
Paralympics, this sport event, is disabled people's scarce chance to let ordinary people to accept them. They are showing to other people no one is different and nothing is impossible to make. They are fighting against the norms in China.These athletes are respectful. Now it's time to yell: everyone is No.1.
I hope Beijing Paralympic game will be a great success and wraped up well.
