The prosthetic girl Xie Benxi has become an online sensation. How many disabled people like her are there?

Xie Renren: Undergraduate student majoring in law at Southwest University of Political Science and Law and an intern researcher at One Plus One. His lower leg was amputated due to a car accident in 2001. He once answered on Zhihu: "If you wear a short skirt, the prosthetics of both legs will be exposed." Come on, what would it be like to walk on the street?" It received 10,000 likes and nearly 1,000 comments in one day, and was later interviewed by two mainstream media outlets, The Paper and the Beijing News. After the report was published, many well-known media reprinted it, and Xie Renren, a girl with prosthetic limbs, became an Internet celebrity.

Calling people with disabilities to enjoy their rights:

Xie Renren, like every person with a physical disability, has experienced different looks. He is afraid that others will know that he is a disabled person, so he does not dare to show his prosthetic limbs. Now Xie Renren has become a "disabled person under the sun". She enjoys the rights that people with disabilities deserve. She no longer has to worry about a young man playing with a mobile phone sitting in a special seat, and she feels confident entering the bathroom for disabled people.

Xie Ren became popular and had many admirers. Many media label her as inspirational and strong. In fact, there are many disabled people like Xie Renren in life, who are very inspiring and strong. Everyone lives happily. Except for our physical impairments, we work hard for life like normal people.

As a disabled person, it requires a process of psychological acceptance to be able to enjoy the rights of disabled people "uprightly" like Xie Renren.

The editor has met many people with physical disabilities, and I have to say that they actually work harder than normal people. Just as Xie Renren said at the United Nations' "China Forum on Disability and Sustainable Development", It is not uncommon for people with disabilities to exercise and get into college. There are many girls and boys with prosthetic limbs in life, but they have not been discovered. Xie Renren can become an Internet celebrity and attract the attention of netizens because she has done things that most people are still unwilling (or dare not) to do.

Internet celebrities can bring attention and controversy. Xie Renren, a girl who forgot her prosthetic limbs, never forgot her original intention and truly became an advocate for disability rights.

Last quote from Xie Renren:

I hope that one day, when a girl wearing a short skirt with a prosthetic leg walks down the street, no media will interview her again;

I hope that one day, when a disabled candidate goes to college, he no longer needs the media to help him call for barrier-free facilities;

I hope that one day, people with disabilities will not have to seek the help of the media or the love of society, but can realize all their due rights under the construction of the country's system.
