Xin Baotong, a man with a severe disability who resides in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, benefits greatly from the social security safety net program afforded him there.

He became paraplegic due to illness in 2013, and his father was also bedridden with paralysis two years later. At that time, his family was arranged to stay at a disability care center. The local government also found suitable jobs for Xin and his mother, making Xin gain confidence in his present and future prospects.

After participating in e-commerce skills training, Xin began selling local specialty agricultural products such as traditional Chinese medicinal herbs and coarse grains to customers around the world.
