Narrow pavements and poorly-designed ramps in Shanghai often force wheelchair users off sidewalks and onto busy roads. Despite China’s rapid modernisation in recent years, disabled access and related facilities are still seen as inadequate in major Chinese cities.

I am glad the situation is slowly but surely improving for disabled people in China! 🙏🙏🙏 Best wishes from the "Best of China" team!
Awesome, and I have some awesome vids on China!
No one’s perfect 😍 she motivation and inspiration person.respect her,🇨🇳🇰🇭
True
I remember in Nanning, their brand spanking new pedestrian ramps were sealed off because people kept driving their scooters up there. Naturally, this is extremely frustrating because that means there are no ramps for wheelchairs to get down to crosswalks for example. None. At all.
Install CCTV,
heavily fine must be given
to those abused rider.
Shes wheelchair bound she's dressed better than my whole neighborhood
I’m a wheelchair user does that mean I can’t dress well?
I was quite often in Shanghai and I was always surprised about the disability-friendliness, especially for blind people. In some areas better developed than Germany 👍
Same. I like how they have textured sidewalks. But of course, there are always improvements that need to be made.
@@志瑜杨 I actually never realized what the yellow and texture was for as a child lol, then as I grew up I learned it’s for blind people. Like you said, there’s always improvements, but they are doing great!
I actually wrote my dissertation on disability in modern Chinese history! So this is great to see
oohh am i able to read it
@@desiree7633 yes of course! How would you like me to send it?
@@meostyles maybe a google drive or I'll create a burner email so can send it but if you know a better way I'm all for it
Those scooters that they use look really handy! I hope things continue improving there.
It's better than most countries, to be able to go around alone without an aide...
aw i love her attitude ❤️
Especially as the population grows older, there will be even more need for wheelchair accessibility
I wonder how wheelchair accessible the Chinese countryside is.
Must be pretty inaccessible
Very inaccessible due to the terrain.
Our society in general (regardless of country) is very ableist. Really makes me sad and hope we'll keep improving to make it more accessible for the disabled.
If you're interested, search up a video called "Disabilities in Prehistory" by TREY the Explainer. It shows just how wack we "civilized" people of today can be... Cavemen were more empathetic and cared more for those with disabilities than today's societies.
China never even thought of them until recently. In most parts of the world many small things you realize are designed to help the disabled
@@XAssassin_22 I mean... China did think of them (assuming you're referring to those with physical and mental disabilties and not the accessibility), they just did this thing we call eugenics. Especially when it came the whole one-child policy.
That purpil wheelchair is soo cute and beautiful she is amazing hope the situation becomes better
Thank you! important story to tell & share.
Rich People, Help Poor People..
Who Here Has a Golden Heart
👍👍👍
I totally agree with this lovely lady. We need to make this world more disability friendly and make people treat each other in best equal ways, end racism and any other kinds of discrimination to make this world a wonderful place for any creature to live with us with all equal treatments
I’m glad that in America we have already made our streets more accessible
I'm Chinese studying in the US right now. America for sure is the most accessible to wheelchairs.
Great woman
Accessibility should always be a top priority of city planners and architects
Princess in a wheelchair
I can't imagine how disabled people move around in the narrow street of hongkong more over it'll be packed with people. Also if they're unfortunate and have to live in those shoebox apartments. The horror
If you have strong will power and determination then no one can stop you...
"I can't stop me" twice's song suits her....
Yes
You go young lady .Im very proud of you.🤗🤗🤗💘💘💘
Respect this woman
Oh my in a country where the majority of bathroom are squat toilets I never thought of this! How difficult that must be!
Shanghai was the 1st modern city of china, they can do this 💪
Maybe China should visit major cities in Japan and learn how to build a disability-friendly city.
Sure when China invades it
Chinese people, unlike you Americans, are ready to help each other.
@@wastew00d I'm not American you idiot. I'm a native Asian. I've been to Japan and noticed that its cities are very disability-friendly, hence why I suggested that China should visit them. Ready to help each other doesn't mean anything when the disabled people have a hard time moving around in the cities.
Well, I hope all countries should make life easier for disabled people.
Life is already hard for some non-disabled people, what more for them.
In some countries, they can't even cross to the other side of the road, cuz they need to go up the footbridge which only have stairs.
Yes they deserves more ramps etc to help them move around and be more independent and free.

It feels so heartwarming to me
It would be more heartwarming if she could be independent and they would get rid of the step so she didn't struggle. I hate people touching my wheelchair, sometimes they grab onto the wrong part of it and risk breaking it, because they don't know how it works (but they assume they do know)
Shes a Vlogger sharing her story with you, but you didn't even bother to share a link to her platform or socials. Not very digitally courteous. I would be interested to know HER vlog.
This shouldn't be something that people have to ask or demand for, places should readily provide this from the getgo.
WHEELCHAIR USER NOT BOUND
Anywhere and everywhere disabilities should be a disability-friendly city.
All of Asia needs to up there game when it comes to this issue
I have never seen wheelchair bonded people this many to be so lively
This is a cultural issue related to 'how much is enough' and people cutting corners. Not about the person themselves. There is a reason why most chinatown areas look the way they do concerning cleanliness, accessibility, etc.
So what is the reason it is so hard to get around with a wheelchair. How much is enough? How about every business in China needs to be wheelchair accessible?
@@wolfvale7863 the reason is chinese mentality is doing ' just enough' to get by. The thought of convenience and future-proofing isnt very high on their list. Basically, a much, much more utilitarian mindset that is very different to western cultures.
@@vuboy122288 In that case it would pay to develop wheelchairs that can climb stairs.
@@wolfvale7863 why would a government spend money & time for 1% of the public (assuming the % wheelchair users in the usa is the same in china) when the money can be used to improve life for the general population (thus improving life greater in both raw numbers and % of people)?
That's the cultural mentality.
I don't know how to differentiate complaing/whining to spreading awareness
Strong women 💪 ❤
This is one area that China can learn a lot from the US. Hope more improvement can be brought upon to provide full accessibility for all.
How do I find her blog?
Same in Beijing... and as long as people park their bikes or dump junk in front of the disability ramp, or on the vision-impaired guide markers on the road, there is a long road ahead.
Hope the infrastructure engineers and planners make roads, buildings, public transport more friendly to people with physical challenges.
Best wishes to these brave people.
Surely it should not be difficult for the cities in China to improve their infrastructure to be more user friendly for people with disabilities.....
It isnt difficult. Just that.... they dont care.
Kudos to wheelchair users 🥇🥇🥇☝️☝️☝️ I’m walker chair brain cancer patient ☕️☕️☕️

Hmmmm wheelchair mopad must be a Mainland Chinese invention 😄🤗
Your name is mad 🤣
Mainland America more like
Look how modern her wheelchair,it is using electric power.
sarcasm? The electric wheel chair was invented in 1930 by a Canadian.
@@wolfvale7863 Huh?and then?not as same as this one its innovated and more mature,china can produce massive stock pile of that type of wheelchair for their PWD citizens while in Canada still utilziling basic wheelchairs.
@@americanracist6776 china racist
@@americanracist6776 china is corrupted
@@americanracist6776 japan better than dumb china...
cute sleeping duck
The main streets and squares of Chinese cities are generally equipped with blind roads, and the residences and public places are equipped with barrier-free designs. But it is still not enough. For example, there are few public transportation vehicles that are conducive to the disabled. In a truly harmonious society, the attention and care for the disabled is a manifestation of the civilization of the entire society. Chinese society still has a long way to go。
Hopefully China learn from Japan and US and Singapore. :)
She's beautiful. Don't mind what anyone says overlooked what people says you might become a rich man's wife in the future
What is 'barrier free'? I don't understand
A barrier is something that stops someone, in this case, "barriers" means anything that prevents a wheelchair user from getting around the city (e.g. stairs into a building, no lifts/elevators, a pavement/sidewalk curb that isn't lowered, not enough space to get through a gap, bins left on the walkways).
"Barrier free" means there are no barriers (ramps instead of stairs, elevators in buildings, lowered curbs, no obstacles, lots of space).
@@nowayitsjennie thank you for the explanation!!
Another word, which you might be more familiar with, is "accessible" as in "accessible elevator/restroom".
@@darkerhippo5852 thank you for the answer 😀
❤️❤️❤️
To many young and attractive women to be on disabilities something is wrong
🥺🥺
大程子好妹妹，一直在关注她呀
幸運上海其他城市比較落後?像香港應該有殘障的士甚至小巴?或者電動輪椅?上海政府應該津貼殘障交通工具或地鐵收費或有計劃換電動輪椅?殘障優惠卡?Lucky in Shanghai other cities compare not updated ?Similar to Hong Kong Disabled taxi or mini bus ? Even changed to electrical wheelchair ?Shanghai government probably allowance for disabled transport or metro railway fee even change electrical wheelchair ?Diable auto pay card ?
Get up and walk!

Careful little lady. There are no disabled facilities in a Chinese jail either.
Oh, another disinformed American. I frequently speak to Chinese people through Chinese messaging apps like Tencent QQ about Taiwan and Tiananmen square. None of them have ever been arrested. China doesn't care as long as you don't try to spread violence against the government.
@@CES_2005 Its called sedition, subversion of state power, spreading rumors, picking quarrels, historical nihilism, distorting the facts about Chinese culture, criticising the party and insulting national leaders.
Well I support her cause and hope the authority listens to her .
😘😎
That elevator is nasty.
yeah glad im not the only one thinking that
It a wood
That building is under renovation or construction and there is not freight elevator.
In order not to damage the elevator, or scratch, more exactly, people will put a wooden boards on the elevator.
@@kikiwa2023 true
Why some of them still not wearing mask 🤦🤦🤦 half million ppl died and they not wearing? Cool
No more corona in china
The situation isn’t the same at all. China had experience with SARS so they implemented a strict and swift lockdown, and this is the result. Almost everyone is vaccinated now and life has returned to normal for the most part. Meanwhile in the US.....
That is really nice 👏
Be careful about complaining too much about your country young lady, or soon we'll see the news about your sudden disappearance
All the prisons in China are wheelchair accessible. Mainly for rolling the bodies out after the organs have been harvested.
It seems that in your media's long demonization of China, your image of China is actually equal to Fascist Germany. You guys are so sure of it, as if you've been there, it makes me, a real Chinese, laugh. I can't help but wonder if people like you are independent thinkers at all. You just can't get over the fact that China is a normal and progressing country, so you start brainwashing yourself and turning yourself into blind idiots.
@@williamwan3712 Not media governments. pic a western country and google travel advisory for China.
"Canadian travel advisory for China" you get this:
travel.gc.ca/destinations/china
scroll down past all the covid warnings and you will see My governments official warnings about China. Yes it warns about treatment of Uyghurs too
@@williamwan3712 you cant blame them, western media influence is immemse and most people just automatically accept the bad news as truth. They are bimbarded with bad news abt china 24/7 , what do you expect?
@@wolfvale7863 ALL “news” about Uyghurs were straight produced from the US government funded World Uyghur Congress and Adrian Zenz from Victims of Communism. Then ALL media quoted on these TWO sources. A few years later, after repeated 1,000 times, they all pretend it is “common knowledge”. It is nothing more than a geopolitical scheme by the US government to suppress China. Your puppet government played along. Shame on you 👎
The US government basically quoted from their own paid propagandists, and used it as an excuse to sanction China’s $270 billion garment industry by banning Xinjiang cotton. Also attempted to make China an enemy of the Muslim countries along the planned Belt and Road Initiative.
👍👍👏👏💗
