It has always been an important concern of the Chinese government to ensure the integration of disabled people into society and protect their self-esteem and self-confidence. With the support of the government and other people, the Beijing youth entrepreneurship competition has been guiding disabled people and young college students to promote employment through entrepreneurship. While opening the "blue ocean" of entrepreneurship, the disabled also actively help more people find jobs and realize self-worth. From being helped to helping others and from being unemployed to entrepreneurship, disabled people in Beijing constantly explore and attempt different modes, actively practice the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship, and create their own way to realize their dreams.
