China Focus. More help for China's Down syndrome population to work outside home
In the first week after opening his car wash in Nantong, east China's Jiangsu Province in late 2023, Ji Hui regretted the decision to start a business that employs people with Down syndrome.
"I felt like I had opened an outlet just for myself," said Ji, a former professional weightlifter, who is in his 20s. He ended up cleaning cars all by himself for a whole week.
The idea to open a car wash for people with intellectual disabilities resulted from an unplanned visit to a special education school in Nantong with a friend. It was during this visit that Ji met a group of students with Down syndrome.
