Colorful lives of people with disabilities in China

Members of a guitar band, who are all on wheelchairs, practice in Mianyang, southwest China's Sichuan Province, on April 25 2009. In 2008, students of Beichuan middle school who lost their legs in the 8.0-magnitude 2008 Wenchuan earthquake founded a guitar band to show their renewed appreciation for life. International Day of Disabled Persons falls on December 3, and China uses the day to highlight the colorful lives of people with disabilities.
