The 'Barrier free Spring Festival Gala' is here, and being friendly to people with disabilities should become a social trend
2025-01-23
On January 19th, the Central Radio and Television Station held a press conference for the "2025 Spring Festival Gala" to introduce the highlights of the program and technological innovation, as well as the official announcement of the host lineup and stage design. This year's Spring Festival Gala has launched its first accessible broadcast for the visually impaired and hearing-impaired versions. Sign language actors use AR virtual technology to provide sign language commentary in the Spring Festival Gala performance hall. Vertical multi screen packaging synchronously presents the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala and the screen of sign language actors, supplemented by AI voice technology to produce subtitles, meeting the viewing needs of hearing-impaired people. The visually impaired version uses audio to create, interpret, and expand the background of the Spring Festival Gala program. The first promotion of the visually impaired and hearing-impaired versions of the accessible broadcasting mode can be regarded as a major highlight of the 2025 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Among them, the hearing-impaired version of the accessible broadcast not only features familiar sign language explanations, but also includes synchronized performances of the Spring Festival Gala program by multiple hearing-impaired actors using sign language and other body movements, striving to enrich the visual experience of hearing-impaired people; The visually impaired version of the accessible broadcast delves into the creation and background information of the Spring Festival Gala program, making the listening process more rewarding for visually impaired people. Although such innovation and change require a large amount of additional investment in people, property, and may face some difficulties and challenges, it can help hearing-impaired and visually impaired people bid farewell to the boredom and embarrassment of sitting in front of the TV on New Year's Eve, and let them feel the "common Spring Festival Gala and the same year" like able-bodied people. The first promotion of accessible broadcasting mode is a testament to the continuous innovation and change of the Spring Festival Gala over the past few decades. As an annual global Chinese celebration, in recent years, the Spring Festival Gala has been striving to enrich its content and upgrade its presentation methods, while also attempting to use technological means to cover a wider audience and convey more humanistic care. The barrier free broadcast launched this time is undoubtedly the same - it can not only popularize the concept of respecting and caring for people with disabilities, lead the trend of assisting people with disabilities, but also become a demonstration of technological advancement and goodness. Inviting the "Silent Knight" delivery drivers to observe and experience the barrier free broadcasting during the rehearsal stage further reflects the openness, tolerance, and responsibility of the Spring Festival Gala. The first promotion of accessible broadcasting mode is also a vivid footnote to China's continuous efforts to increase care and assistance for people with disabilities - the Law on the Construction of Accessible Environment has been officially implemented for more than a year; At the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a Braille version of the Government Work Report was released; The release of the national Braille version of the national anthem allows visually impaired individuals to "touch" the anthem with their own hands; There are places that have pioneered accessible format files for marriage registration for visually impaired individuals, helping blind couples further achieve "love without barriers"; Multiple ministries have jointly issued a notice on expanding job opportunities, improving skills, and actively assisting disabled people in finding employment. More and more good news is entering the lives of disabled people, allowing them to integrate more smoothly into the development of the times, participate more widely in social life, and enjoy public services more equally and unimpeded. Their emotional and spiritual cultural needs are also better met. At the same time, the continuous improvement and upgrading of the relevant social security system and care service system have also enabled this group to timely and effectively solve their most concerned, direct, and practical interests. Of course, from the perspective of building a disability friendly society, all sectors of society still need to continue their efforts, and some problems and tendencies need to be further corrected. For example, not long ago, the news that a stainless steel tactile paving was demolished overnight and replaced with a cement tactile paving caused widespread concern; Some companies have been exposed for "renting" disability certificates to create a false impression of employing people with disabilities; Many visually impaired and hearing-impaired individuals often encounter "facial recognition" certification barriers when handling various online services due to their inability to complete actions such as nodding, shaking their head, blinking, etc. From a certain perspective, the cause of disabled people is "not the best, only better". How to give disabled people more respect, better meet their survival and development needs at different stages, and effectively improve their happiness index are topics that need further exploration and research from all parties. As the first Spring Festival Gala after the successful application for World Heritage status during the Spring Festival, accessible broadcasting has injected new vitality and connotation into this cultural feast, and also built a caring bridge for people with disabilities to communicate emotions and spread culture. Gathering sand to form a tower, gathering armpits to form fur, we are pleased to see similar acts of care, friendliness, and warmth constantly emerging, lighting up a warm light for the disabled group and adding bricks and tiles to social civilization. Furthermore, it should be the unremitting pursuit of all parties to enable every disabled person to keep up with the pace of the times and live a "colorful" life in richer real-life scenarios. I look forward to this ideal shining into reality faster and better! (New Society)
