China is the largest developing nation in the world today, with greater than sixty-million people who experience a form of disability. The figure of people with disabilities quoted is taken from the results of the 1987 First National Sampling Survey on Disability. According to the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Disabled Persons, a disabled person refers to one who suffers from abnormalities or loss of certain organ or function, psychologically or in anatomical structure and has lost wholly or in part the ability to perform an activity in the way considered normal. In 1987, a national sampling survey of disabled population was administrated in China. This was the first and only national survey of disabled population in China.
