He said since this year marks the 5th Anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), many friends with disabilities began to shine. For example, one of the award receivers, Yu Ting, with the severe form of cerebral palsy, but two years ago, she began to express himself by attending painting and speech classes offered by the Taiwan Painting Talk Association and gained confidence. She is now very confident and optimistic. Her transformation allows people to understand the great potential of the disabled.
