Chinese Woman Empowers Disabled Workers After Crash
A woman named Wang Xinyi had a bad car accident in 2020 that hurt her badly and made her lose an arm and a leg.
After a long time recovering, she started a new life and even started a business.
She opened a shoe cleaning factory and hired people with different disabilities, giving them jobs that fit their strengths.
For example, someone with brittle bones sorts shoes, and someone who is deaf works with loud machines.
Her business is doing well, and she also uses her social media to help raise money for people who need it.
She wants to show that having a disability doesn't mean you can't do great things!
