A prominent sign of building a moderately prosperous society, is the average standard of living of people of all nationalities have a more substantial increased significantly (generally considered per capita income should reach three thousand U.S. dollars). This accounts for the majority of the country's population of nearly one twentieth of disability in people who say that it is a daunting task. Faced with this ambitious goal, the face of this difficult but the best for the future of the road, the majority of people with disabilities should be how to do? Negative face, doing nothing, or pull themselves together, worked hard?, I think we should not hesitate to choose the latter, to accelerate the pace of follow-up, do not drag on the country building a moderately prosperous society. 

China has 8.77 million blind compatriots, most of which reside in the vast rural areas. Since the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of the cause of the disabled and the blind massage career, blind massage has become the main channel of urban employment blind, everywhere cultivate a batch after batch of blind medical massage practitioners and blind massage staff . So far, in the medical services reached more than twenty thousand blind massage doctor; engaged blind massage services has reached more than 40,000. After the "Tenth Five Plan", the total number of blind massage these two categories of staff is expected to more than 100,000 people. Work in the medical or health care massage, is indeed one of the best channels blind employment. 

In recent years, the vast majority of practitioners in the medical and health massage massage blind, their economic status and quality of life have undergone a fundamental change, so that other categories of disability groups admiration. According to incomplete statistics, the monthly income of a blind massage worker reached the thousand or so is nothing new; good technology, or in the big cities and Guangdong, Shenzhen area in massage, blind massage services massage doctor, a monthly salary of two thousand five or three thousand yuan or more abound. These blind leader has been the first to reach a comprehensive well-off society living and income standards. 

Although employment blind blind massage work to bring a bright side, but the total number of blind people's point of view, it is after all very few blind in a small part. There are quite a lot of blind people, especially in rural areas for the blind, they still suffer enormous pressure in employment encountered all sorts of problems. How can fully mobilize the various cultural level, a variety of physical conditions and living in different regions of the blind work ethic and employment initiative, how to effectively tap the strengths and potential of the various types of the blind, to meet the employment needs of the majority of blind people do? I personally think, from two dimensions to analyze and discuss how future because people blind to further broaden employment channels problem. 

First, I want to talk about the first level of employment of the blind, the knowledge and skills for employment: 

Following the blind massage, in recent years there have a very potential forms of employment, knowledge and skills into the ranks of the blind type of employment, which is the blind piano tuning. In fact, the piano tuning itself as a form of employment in the blind, has had a long history. Take Fuzhou, Fujian Province, who, as early as the 1930s, there was a man named 刘天川 blind when the British church-run school for the blind specially sent to England to study piano tuning and piano repair techniques. After returning home, he brought out in Fuzhou several blind piano lawyer. Li Bolin, Chen Zhongliang, Liu Tao, etc. are Mr. Liu Tianchuan bring out the outstanding students. These blind piano lawyer in the sixties and seventies and mid-century piano tuning market in Fuzhou are renowned, even those bright eyes of lawyers in the business and the level of self-inductance compared with those blind also less. 

Later, the blind piano tuning engaged in the job market is indeed some atrophy, in this regard blind employees less and less. The end of the century, under the Beijing School for the Blind Liren Wei teacher advocates and organizations, leaders in Beijing School for the Blind and the enthusiastic support of all parties concerned and assistance, the blind piano tuning college class was proclaimed. In recent years, Beijing School for the Blind piano tuning Ban trained by blind lawyers hundred percent employment, even for many employers who are in short supply. Partially blind lawyers working just a few years, on account of their excellent work and superb technology, access to professional piano tuning, the senior titles. With the deepening of reform and opening up, as people's living standards rising, more and more ordinary people piano into the family. We can expect that the future market will blind piano tuning is full of exuberant vitality. 

In addition to the above mentioned categories of people are more familiar with, operability strong blind knowledge and skills based employment channels, where there are success stories to talk about the three blind knowledge and skills based career. Knowledge of these three skilled occupational certainly not most blind people can get involved, but may wish to talk about, for blind enhance self-confidence, understand their potential, there will be a greater help. 

One is the computer software development. This profession needs a higher individual intelligence, of course, need to have a solid foundation of knowledge. To be successful in this regard than the typical blind following few: Dual Shanghai Zhu six, he was the first to design and develop a Braille input software, so that the blind can use Braille point input method input Chinese characters on a computer operation ; Wang Yongde Guangdong, April 1997 came into contact with computers, we developed a blind October with a DOS system database, the end of 1999 and the successful design and development of computer Windows system, "Tuck screen reading voice software" for the majority of blind application of computer database operations, editing articles, send and receive e-mail and browse the Internet has opened up a barrier-free thoroughfare; Hunan, Wang Zhiyuan, a computer study, successfully designed and developed a blind with another operating system, database management software and a set of blind massage ; Anhui 汪世龙, blindness after halfway undaunted, careful study of Chinese characters computer input technology, successfully developed a national patent "radius classified pictographic code (Ryoma Chinese character input technology)", and won. We believe that people in this area in the future will continue to emerge and become blind knowledge and skills based employment a beautiful landscape. 

The other is in English translation. In recent years, many high-quality blind attended the American Hadley School for the Blind campus in Fuzhou, China free English distance learning. Of which a considerable part of the blind students through learning English, greatly improving their quality and level of English culture, and began its first debut in the English translation. Some of them foreign magazines on science and technology information translated into Chinese in the country's newspapers and magazines published in order to gain royalties. Of course, this should be a steady income, occupation there is a large gap can breadwinner. Recently, the Shanghai branch has in the use of English students 陈夏炯 knowledge learned, the break of the new way of employment, and indeed gives a new inspiration. A few months ago, Chen Xiajiong learned from the Internet Shanghai, a translation company wants to recruit text translator, he boldly via E-mail contact candidates. Letter by several test translation, the employer satisfied, immediately decided to hire Chen Xiajiong for the company's translators. Chen Xiajiong day just at home, at work, the company sent me in charge, the Letter through the network, and then translated and then sent back to the company via E- mail. The work sitting at home working, so Chen Xiajiong twelve hundred yuan a month to obtain a stable income. It is not also be able to have other blind friends and conditions of this expertise, and establish a better role model in the knowledge of skilled employment areas? 

There is also a school, run classes. Here that the school, taught a class, referring to the social forces, belongs to the category of private education. This type of knowledge and skills for employment or business conditions, greatly depends on the one hand, a strong level of expertise and personal entrepreneurial courage blind itself has. I am here to give two Hadley School for the Blind Fuzhou Angeles school students in English professional application, run classes to obtain specific examples of success: 

One is Jilin Dun high road. He was one of the first batch of students Hadley School for the Blind campus in Fuzhou, China. In 1989 he began to apply the knowledge learned English, carried out in English tutorial teaching residence near the eyes, pupils, then it has achieved good social and economic benefits. After years of practice, summed up the experience of many aspects of teaching and the organization of teaching, the high road and finally succeeded to embark on a formal educational path. In 2000, he founded the "Chunhua English school", won the Dunhua City Board of Education issued a formal school license. Currently, the high road of Chunhua English school has opened a dozen classes, English tuition levels, including elementary, middle and high school students in reading a total of more than 700 people. High Road is not only purchasing school premises, but also the acquisition of the teaching process with all the necessary teaching equipment. His entrepreneurial success is not something we learn it? 

Another success in school, taught a class aspects of Liaoning Gaizhou Huang Xi phase. He also has an excellent academic Hadley School for the Blind in Fuzhou, China campus learning. 2001, Huang Xi phase also founded a local application Ming eyes, English courses students services. This is being called "the future of English courses," the English tutorial institutions existing primary and secondary school English tuition by 80 people. Huang Xi phase also won the social and economic benefits double harvest. 

These types of jobs over the blind channel knowledge and skills-based, and some have developed quite good, and some are further improved and gradually expand into. In fact, the blind can be engaged in skilled knowledge work is far from just these. Take writing it, there are many blind people have very high writing skills. Some of them are often published poetry and prose in newspapers, magazines; quite some success in terms of fiction writing. But whether the blind into a kind of writing can have a steady income careers, how to specifically achieve this goal, also need to explore, more research viable option. 

Another successful example of an intriguing, and that is blind in motor repair. Anhui there is a such a blind, in this regard compose his own legendary experience. The blind from an early age interested in playing with the motor, always there to learn from his brother motor repair knowledge. On one occasion, he will be all suspicion in a broken water pump motor repair and fame. Later, the blind opened a motor repair service, business is very prosperous, and famous. Motor repair truly to become a knowledge and skills-based fixed occupation engaged in the blind. From this example, is not able to further inspire us: only unexpected thing, not impossible things, blind too. It seems to broaden the idea of blind employment potential to be tapped still quite small.
