On May 10th, the Blind Massage Association of Siping City, Jilin Province was established, and a blind masseur who is a returnee was elected as the first president of the association, and his name is Nie Jifeng.
Firm belief in life
Nie Jifeng, born in 1968, was born blind and disabled. 1986, he began to learn massage. "Before learning massage, I was a person who lacked self-confidence. I would always have low self-esteem because I couldn't see with my own eyes. At one time, I couldn't find a direction in life, which made me even more stressed." Nie Jifeng recalled.
After learning massage skills, Nie Jifeng went to Switzerland, Germany, France, Singapore, Indonesia and other places to study and work. It's hard to imagine that a blind person could have such a rich experience. He said: "Although I am blind, but I have a healthy brain and strong body. As a disabled person, if you want to do things well, you have to put in dozens or even hundreds of times more effort than normal people. Whenever I go to a new place, I have to inquire about the road countless times. When I encountered bumps in the road, I always thought 'as long as the work is deep the iron mortar and pestle grinds into a needle'." Nie Jifeng aspires to be a self-reliant, self-reliant, self-respecting, self-confident, and useful to society.
Promoting Mutual Help for People with Disabilities
In 2008, Nie Jifeng returned to his hometown and opened the Siping Jifeng Tui Na Rehabilitation Center, and absorbed seven disabled people to work.
While doing self-development, Nie Jifeng endeavors to provide livelihood assistance to other blind disabled people. He passed on his knowledge and experience to disabled students by organizing training courses. Since 2010, he has trained more than 60 students. The courses offered in the training course mainly include Chinese medicine diagnosis, anatomy, massage and tuina. Through the training, these trainees have acquired basic massage knowledge and learned a skill.
Xiong Junlong, a blind person with disabilities, is a trainee from Nie Jifeng massage training course. His eye disease makes it difficult for him to get a job. In order to make Xiong Junlong learn to make a living, Nie Jifeng in the training period of his careful guidance, help teach, so that he mastered the massage technique. Not long ago, Xiong Junlong opened a massage clinic in Siping City. After the business, there is a way to make a living Xiong Junlong is full of yearning for life, full of confidence in their future.
Talking about the establishment of Siping City Tui Na Massage Association, Nie Jifeng explained to the author the reasons. "After returning to my hometown, I found that many people with disabilities do not have a stable job, and can only rely on the government's low income to barely maintain life. The establishment of this platform is to better serve the disabled, so that they can learn the knowledge of tui na massage and learn a skill. It facilitates them to find jobs and solve their life problems."
Independent research and development of massage bed
In the years of working and studying abroad, Nie Jifeng y felt the advanced foreign medical equipment. "They are very humanized in the design of equipment. I am determined to design and produce massage beds that meet the characteristics of massage and massage, and stable performance can increase the efficacy."
So, Nie Jifeng embarked on the road of exploration to design "electric lift massage traction bed". He was unable to draw sketches, the use of drawings and narratives to direct the workers to produce. He contacted a number of iron products processing plant, but all out of doubt about Nie Jifeng's ability, and declined. After much effort, he finally found a factory that was happy to cooperate. That day, he was overjoyed.
The process of making massage beds is equally hard. Every morning, Nie Jifeng has to go to the workshop to understand the progress of production and check product quality. He relied on years of clinical experience, according to the needs of massage and chiropractic methods, carefully drawing, narrating the size of the whole massage bed, proportions and the state of the rise and fall. In this way, Nie Jifeng in the massage center and the factory, running back and forth, sometimes several times a day to go back and forth.
