The contest is a place for many disabled people to show off their talents, affirming a philosophy: Disabled people can do everything like normal people if they have the support and conditions of the State and the community. The contest is truly a useful playground, where they can meet, exchange and share with people in the same situation, inspire each other, and give each other confidence to continue to overcome difficulties, assert themselves and integrate into the community.
