In recent years, the award ceremony of people of the year who moved China has become a "spiritual feast" in Chinese and one of the "compulsory courses" for hundreds of millions of TV viewers. It is as enduring as a jewel in the dust of the years. CCTV’s professional team, high-standard character selection and all-round excellent production are the core of the jewel charm "Touching China People of the Year Award Ceremony". "Touching China 2024 People Award Ceremony" is accurately positioned and carefully selected, and based on the ten most representative figures, it shows the ubiquitous and stirring Chinese strength and national spirit in 2024. Among them, the name of party member, a young communist in our city, was shining at this award ceremony. He was party member Lidong, an outstanding communist in Hunan Province.

Li Zilian, the father of Comrade Li Dong, is a severely disabled person. He not only lost his normal hearing and language functions, but also suffered from a car accident 14 years ago, resulting in high paraplegia. At present, he can only walk in a wheelchair, and his life is extremely difficult. Li Dong’s mother, Chen Ping, is weak and sick, and she is also struggling to take medicine all the year round. Li Dong is the only son of Li Zilian and Chen Ping. This "couple in distress" has been one of the families of disabled people with difficulties that Yueyang Volunteers Association has been paying attention to and helping in pairs for more than ten years. The sacrifice of Comrade Li Dong undoubtedly made this originally troubled family even worse. In recent two years, the Party branch and Council of Yueyang Volunteers Association for Helping the Disabled have intensified their efforts and helped this special family from a deep level. In the past August, the association helped Li Zilian to enter Yueyang Kangda Orthopedic Hospital to treat the increasingly serious bedsore, and reduced all his hospitalization expenses, treatment expenses and nursing expenses. The treatment effect was very good, which was well received by Li Zilian and his wife and highly affirmed by all walks of life.
