 Ming-Hui: Never Giving Up, Radiating the Passion of Life 

Ming-Hui, who was recently awarded the 2025 Yilan County Government’s “Courageous Award” for Outstanding Persons with Disabilities, displayed remarkable confidence and poise during her boccia training. As a child, she was involved in a severe car accident that left her with cerebral palsy and paralysis of her right side. After graduating from National Yi-Lan Special School, she was referred by the school to Yilan Education and Nursing Institute.

At first, Ming-Hui struggled to adjust to life at the institute and experienced emotional instability. In response, social workers not only thoughtfully arranged for her to return home on weekends but also replaced her medical bed to address difficulties with using the restroom and designed a customized physical rehabilitation plan for her; In addition, the service team encouraged her to participate in various on-site activities, such as cheerleading competitions, painting contests, the Karaoke Club, the Dance Club, and Boccia Club. As a result, Ming-Hui’s life became more fulfilling, her mood gradually brightened, and her passion for life was reignited.

As captain of the Boccia Club, Ming-Hui has led her team to impressive victories on numerous occasions.

Now, Ming-Hui cherishes life more than ever. She enjoys singing and boccia, and she loves herself even more. Looking to the future, she says confidently, “I am ready.”

Although Ming-Hui’s physical abilities are limited, her passion for life remains undiminished.

 A Little Drop of Golden Sun on a Wheelchair: Cheng-Han Radiates Warmth 

At the Ta-Lung Disability Care Center, there is a resident who always brings warmth to those around him—his name is Cheng-Han. 

Although he was born with cerebral palsy and suffers from severe muscle tone issues and scoliosis, requiring complete assistance with daily living, Cheng-han still demonstrates an extraordinary will to live. He always greets staff members on his own initiative, and when it comes to tasks he can make by his own self, he says with a touch of stubbornness and confidence, “I can manage myself.”

Despite his disabilities, Cheng-Han continues to shine with a positive attitude and strong perseverance.
 

Cheng-Han, who has a sensitive nature, missed home and experienced some emotional difficulties when he first arrived at the institute. Thanks to the psychological and physical support provided by social workers, educare givers, and care attendants, he was able to adapt to life at the institute within three months. In addition, an occupational therapist was assigned to develop a rehabilitation plan for Cheng-Han, focusing on strengthening the muscles in his left hand. He also transitioned to an electric wheelchair equipped with a positioning system to slow the progression of his scoliosis. Educare givers also accompanied Cheng-Han on a “dream-catching trip” to the department store he used to frequent as a child, and the institute’s flea market provided him with more opportunities to integrate into the community. Step by step, he is slowly preparing to take charge of his own life, undeterred by the challenges of his disability—just like a little sun that continues to shine brightly even amidst the gloom.

Participating in the flea markets organized by the institute increases Cheng-Han’s opportunities to integrate into the community.
