Recently, the stand-up season of iQiyi’s "king of comedy" has come to an end. The high-quality PK of the finalists has made many netizens hooked up, but the blind player’s black light’s spit on the blind road has caused deeper thinking. With the popularization of various social welfare, there are still many neglected "blind areas of civilization" in life.

From the perspective of the blind, Black Light tells the hardships of the disabled humorously. As a public figure, this is not the first time he spoke out about the public facilities for the visually impaired, such as the blind road in the subway going straight to the cab, the blind road being closed, causing the blind people to "circle around" in it, the stainless steel blind road slipping like a shrimp in snowy days, forcing the blind people to take barrier-free carriages without seats, the blind road being occupied and suddenly interrupted. These jokes made the audience laugh, but also brought sadness, because although these problems are common, they have not received enough attention from the relevant departments.

We need to reflect, blind roads should provide convenience for the visually impaired, but why have they brought more troubles? Black light mentioned in the performance that he showed that he was blind when catching the high-speed train and flying, and the other party reacted wrongly. On the one hand, visually impaired people are rarely seen in public spaces; On the other hand, there are still many problems in barrier-free facilities in society. Due to the difficulties encountered in going out, visually impaired people have reduced the number of going out or even stopped going out at all.

The plight of visually impaired people represented by black lights is actually a microcosm of the lives of disabled people in China. Due to the existence of special education schools, there are almost no disabled people on ordinary campuses. This invisibility makes many disabled facilities become furnishings, even occupied or misused, while people with disabilities seldom express their dissatisfaction publicly, which further aggravates the unreasonable use of facilities.

Black-light talk shows not only make more people pay attention to the situation of disabled groups, but also remind us that social systems and facilities still need to be further improved. The government should introduce more targeted policies, increase capital investment in public facilities, rectify the existing non-practicality, and effectively help more disabled people. The media should also strengthen publicity to help the public understand the importance of barrier-free facilities and guide people to pay attention to and support the construction of these facilities. For every ordinary person, parking can be regulated, blind roads can not be occupied at will, people with disabilities can not be discriminated against, and they can lend a helping hand when they need help, so that sincerity and goodwill can flow in society.

Watching talk shows can’t be laughed off. How to better care for the disabled is an important social issue. The blind spot of civilization is often not on the road, but in people’s hearts. Only by taking real action to make the barrier-free environment no longer "hinder" can more disabled people go out of their homes, share the fruits of social development equally and feel the world better.
