Mentally impaired get a helping hand

A care center in Hangzhou explores a new path for disadvantaged people toward self-reliance.
The door to Wanwan Care Center is always locked - on purpose. Ring the doorbell on the wall, and you will be welcomed by a mentally impaired "child" - he comes, opens the door, greets you with a quick "Hello" and runs away.
It's one of the many rehabilitation methods that Xu Qin has designed for the 26 disabled people at the center. Although most are in their 20s, they have the mental ability of children.
