guó jì国际máng rén盲人jié节ràng让shì jiè世界gèng更“kàn dé jiàn看得见”
October 15th is the International Day of the Blind, also called White Cane Day.
This day is to care for blind friends and let everyone understand their lives.
The International Day of the Blind started in 1984, and every year on this day, various activities are held worldwide.
This year, China issued accessible maps of China and the world in large quantities for the first time.
The new maps use Braille and special textures, allowing blind friends to feel the maps with their hands and know the locations of provinces, cities, and continents.
This is very helpful for their learning and travel.
At the same time, the Forbidden City also launched "touchable" cultural relic books.
These books have raised lines and Braille to help blind friends understand Chinese culture.
Every year on the International Day of the Blind, there are cultural performances, movie viewings, essay contests, and other activities across China to encourage visually impaired people to participate in society and show themselves.
Now, more and more people are paying attention to accessible facilities to help the visually impaired community.
The International Day of the Blind reminds us that everyone has the right to live equally.
We hope that in the future, society will become more inclusive and warm.
