Blind lawmaker advocates for people with disabilities

Wang Yongcheng was born in Ninghua County of Fujian Province in 1967. Among the deputies to the 14th National People's Congress (NPC), who commenced their five-year term in 2023, Wang stands out as the sole individual with visual impairment.

In 1985, at the age of 18, Wang lost his sight in an unfortunate accident. Undeterred, he embarked on a challenging entrepreneurial journey, acquiring massage skills and conducting non-profit training.
