Dear Non-Disabled People:

亲爱的非残疾人：

我是一个残疾人。从小到现在，好多人看我是残疾就想保护我，问我需不需要帮助。有时候我说不需要。有时候即使我回答了好几遍他们还是一问再问。有时候别人根本就不问我需不需要帮助就替我做。很多时候我就认为他们这样做是因为我是残疾，不能做事儿。我不应该每次这样认为。我应该每次问问他们为什么这样做。我会尽量改变这个毛病的，不过这个毛病是很难改的。但是读者们，你们也要改改几件事儿。

每个人做的事就像是一幅画。当要画一幅画的时候，你得需要很多的颜色。不同的颜色就像是不同的身体部分。身体部分们得合作起来做好一件事儿。缺了一部分或一部分做的不好就像是缺了一种颜色或有一种颜色比别的颜色要少。哪部分做的越好，哪种颜色就越多。当你每天练习你的技术的时候，你就在你的颜色盒里面加颜色因为你再把你那不身体部分增加力量。每一个人颜色盒里面颜色的数量都是不一样的。我们残疾人失去了几种颜色，但这不证明我们颜色盒的重量比那些没有残疾人的颜色盒要少呀。我们可以有更多其他的颜色去代替我们失去的颜色然后做那些失去颜色和他们自己的任务。比如那些身体残疾的人，他们缺少的颜色不是最重要的颜色。比如说盲人他们的眼睛视力没有其他人的视力那么好，我就说他们失去的颜色是绿色吧。并不是每幅画都需要绿色的。在他们不需要绿色的时候他们可以轻轻松松用其他的颜色。如果他们需要绿色的时候，他们可以用黄色和蓝色画出绿色。就像比如他们在炒菜的时候，他们得知道什么时候那锅菜炒熟了。一般看见的人会只看看就行了。可是盲人看不见或他们看见的不好。那怎么办呀？就像刚才我说把黄色和蓝色画出绿色，盲人可以用耳朵，鼻子，和炒饭的铲子查查菜是不是熟了。我有脑瘫，说不定我少了几种颜色，但都是不是最重要的颜色。我也能用最重要的颜色弄出一副漂亮的画。

脑子残疾的人缺的颜色可能是一种最重要的颜色，他们画的画会比别人要简单一点，但他们还能画画。有些脑子残疾人颜色盒的重量可能跟别人一样多，只不过他们的每种颜色的重量是不一样的。说不定他们有一种颜色的重量别人的要多。

有的时候我们残疾人得有一个工具帮助我们。我写字写的不快，我一般在课上用电脑打字。盲人看不到，他们用盲杖或盲人狗当他们的眼睛。走路不好的人或不能走路的人用拐杖或轮椅帮他们行动，等等。我们不需要太多的帮助，只要那些工具，我们就没事儿了。其他的东西请你们不要担心。如果我们需要帮助的话，我们会问的。我想让你们就看着我们是怎么自理的。不要害怕。要对我们有信心呀！

有一天我听见了一个盲人说：“看见的人小看盲人是因为他们害怕没有视力的世界。” 这跟其他东西一样，有的非残疾人没有经常见过残疾人，说不定当他们见到了残疾人的时候在想如果他们是残疾的话，那会怎么样？当他们想这个的时候，他们就会害怕。他们就觉得自己会需要帮助，所以他们一见到残疾人就帮助他们。其实如果你想的话，残疾人只是几部分的身体工作的不怎么好，他们可以用其他部分的身体做事儿。世界上没有一个人什么事儿都不能做。如果有的话，那他就是死人。我听妈妈说有一个很高明的科学家是一个有麻痹的人。如果你看看你的周围，你就会看到有好多好多聪明或者和能干的残疾人。

如果你看见别人对残疾人太有帮助的时候，无论你在哪里，请教育教育他们。这样世界慢慢着就知道残疾人其实也能做事儿的。

现在有的国家大多数的孤儿都是残疾。我的国家中国可能有一千万孤儿，98%的孤儿是残疾。这是很严重的！如果我们能帮助中国人和其他国家的人相信残疾人能做事儿的话，那就没有那么多的孩子被抛弃了。

其实，残疾人跟别人一样，因为每个人都是不一样。每个人都用不同的方法去画画。如果用你的真心去看，你就会发现你自己眼睛没有发现的事情。李小龙说过一句话：“即使我们有一双眼睛，大多数的人并不真的是“看到”世界的。”

我希望你们能懂我这一页的博客，如果不懂的话，留下一个评论，我会很努力的给你们再解释一遍！

I have a disability. From when I was little till now, people wanted to protect me and asked me if I needed help when they saw that I have a disability. Sometimes I said no. Sometimes they asked me over and over even though I kept saying no. Sometimes people don't even ask me if I need help before they help me. Often I thought the reason that they did that is because I have a disability and they think I can't do stuff. I shouldn't think that. I should ask them why they did that. I will try my best to change that bad habit. However, readers, you all need to change some habit too.

Every person's work is like a picture. You have to have a lot of different colors to draw a picture. Different colors are like different organs. Organs have to work together to accomplish a task well. If you are missing an organ or one of your organs doesn't work very well, then you lost a color or the color isn't useful to work to their best to draw the picture. Which body part did the best, then that color will have the most. When you practice your technique everyday, you are adding color to your color box since one of your body parts is building strength. We, people with disabilities, may lose some colors, but that doesn't means that our color box weights less than other people. We could use other color to replace the missing color and do their and themselves' job. For people with physical disabilities, the color they are missing in a non-primary color. For example, blind people's sight isn't as good as other people, let me just said that their missing color is green. Not all pictures need green. They can easily use other color when they don't need green. If they do need green, they could use yellow and blue to draw green. For example, blind people need to know if the dish is done when they are cooking. Usually sighted people will just use their eyes to see it. However, blind people can't see or their sight isn't good. What now? Like I just said that they could use yellow and blue to draw green, blind people could use ear, nose, and spatula to tell if the dish is cooked. I have Cerebral Palsy; maybe I lost couple colors, but none of those are primary colors. I could primary colors to draw a beautiful picture too.

People with mental disabilities maybe lost one primary color, their picture will be simpler than other, but they still could draw. Some people with mental disabilities' color box weights the same as other people, only not all the colors are even out. Maybe one of their colors is more than the other people.

Sometimes we need a tool to help us. I don't write fast, usually type during class. Blind people can't see, they use cane and guide dog like their eyes. People have hard time walk or they can't walk use crutches or wheelchair to help them move, and etc. We don't need too much help, just those tool and we are set. You don't need to worry about other things. We will ask for help if we need to. I want to you to see how we become independent. Don't be scared. Have faith in us!

One time I hear a blind person said, "Sighted people underestimate blind people is because they are scare of a world without vision." This is same as other stuff, some non-disabilities people don't see people with disabilities often, and maybe they will imagine how will they live if they have disabilities when they see people disabilities. When they think, they would get scare. They think they need help, so they will help them when they see people with disabilities. However, if you really think about it, only a few body parts of people with disabilities doesn't work properly, they could use other body parts to do tasks. There is no one in the world can't do a single thing. If there are, then they are dead. I hear mom said that there is a brilliant scientist that is paralysis. If you look around, you will see many people with disabilities that are smart and independent.

If you see other people being too helpful to a person with disabilities, no matter where, please education them. Then the world would slowly know that people with disabilities actually could do tasks.

Right now some of the countries' major orphans are disable. My country, China, maybe have a million orphans, 98% of then are disable. That is serious! If we could help Chinese and other countries' citizens believe people with disabilities can do tasks, then maybe not many orphans will be abandon.

Actually, people with disabilities are same as other people, because everyone is different. Everybody draw picture differently. Use your heart to see, you will notice the stuff that your eyes can't see. Bruce Lee had a quote: "Though we possess a pair of eyes, most of us do not really 'see' in the true sense of the word."

I hope you guys could understand my post, if you don't, leave a comment, I will try my best to explain to you.
