Protection of rights has improved in the past three decades

Lyu Shiming, vice-chairman of the China Disabled Persons' Federation

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the reform and opening-up policy and the 30th anniversary of the founding of the China Disabled Persons' Federation.

During the past few decades, I have witnessed significant improvements in the protection of disabled people's rights, especially in terms of physical rehabilitation, education, employment and access to buildings and facilities.
