Before the 27th National Disabled Day,coinciding with the tenth anniversary of Far East Charitable Foundation, the 2nd National Disabled People “Five Creation" Summit Forum (hereinafter referred to as Five Creation Forum) of “strive for a moderately prosperous society, create a wonderful life” was held in Beijing on May 20th.

On “Five Creation” Models Communication and Closing Ceremony, Zhou Dongjiao, Far East Group member of Party Committee, CHO, executive director of Far East Charitable Foundation and “Five Creation” models—Cao Yan, the disabled employment star, Cai Cong, director of Shanghai Youren Public Foundation physical disabilities program, Ping Yali, the first Chinese gold medalist of Paralympic Games, Zheng Shuyun, promoter of Taiwan Tourism for all, Cai Qihai, chairman of Taiwan Painting Talk Association, Li Shuling, business consultant of Taipei disabled auxiliary equipment—elaborated understanding of life, not only influencing lives by lives, but also appealing to a more equal, civilized, tolerant, advanced society at the same time.

Zhou Dongjiao: The original intentions of Far East Charitable Foundation are transmitting sprits and achieving great love

“There are four kinds of things in the world: meaningful and interesting things, meaningless and uninteresting things, meaningful but uninteresting things, and interesting but meaningless things. The Five Creation Forum belongs to the first kind.”

“Far East Charitable Foundation advocates developing and hematopoietic charities instead of simple ‘donation ceremony’; charity should take care of receivers’ feelings while giving, by exchange of another giving, making grantees feel free, just and forceful, taking full advantages of their own resources, inspiring their inner potential, improving their energy. Transmit by spirit, influence lives by lives, achieve great love with love—these are our original intentions.

“The ‘wealth' raised by Far East Charitable Foundation not only refers to create material wealth but spiritual wealth as well; only spiritual affluence bring us the most happiness.”

“Even though a healthy man is limited in one third of life, such as babyhood, aged period; health only shows in current time, so we advocate that be accommodating to disabled people also make us easy in life.”

Cao Yan: accept yourself, please yourself

“Disability is an advantage for exploring own potential, doing better than others in life.”

“For so many years and experiences, the only thing I get is that “you must be positive for living.’”

“’National Disabled Day' has two meanings: one is to call upon social attention for group of the disabled and the other one, it is a feedback day from the disabled to society.”

Cai Cong: everyone is born to be complete

“When you regard disability as a character instead of a disadvantage, you will get everything in life.”

“Whether you have a mate or not, everyone is born to be complete; no matter what kind of people will come to you or how many people will leave you, everyone is born to be complete and they just bring some colors for your life; only face anything from this idea, we will have a happy life.”

Ping Yali: life is an everlasting Olympic Game

“Life is an everlasting Olympic Game, never give up until the death comes.”

“Retirement is not horrible, flinch it is.”

Zheng Shuyun: a shortcoming is also an advantage, opportunity s to those who are prepared

“When you have no way to change the environment, you have no choice but to change yourself for adaptation. These words have followed me since childhood and remind me to adjust my thinking and values all the time.”

Cai Qihai: self-confidence brings opportunities

“Never give up your confidence, never give up your future; speak to the world by painting and regain smile!”

Li Shuling: everyone has opportunities to achieve “Five Creation”

“Barrier-Free construction is the foundation for ensuring the independent lives for the disabled, entering the mainstream of society with equality and dignity. Taiwan and mainland should set up a communication bridge for Barrier-Free construction.”

The understanding and elaboration of “Five Creation” from guests enjoy popular supports and set people thinking. Finally, Zhou Dongjiao ended this forum with “love in heart, action is free; blooming brings butterfly; every day is May 20th, everything is possible!”

Kindness come from heart while goodness represent love; charity is a feeling of replaceable thinking, a help without words, a responsibility rooted in heart, and a practical action with kindness.

Far East Charitable Foundation advocates realizing the equality, participant and sharing of the disabled!
