Zheng Weining - Defending Equal Rights in High-Priced Claims

● Replay: On January 19 this year, Zheng Weining sued Shenzhen Airlines for refusing to take passengers in the People's Court of Bao'an District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, where the claim for 12.28 million yuan of moral damages became the focus.

Zheng Weining is the chairman of the Zheng Weining Charitable Foundation, as a Canyou, he solved the employment problem of many Canyou, and has won many honorary titles. In December last year, Zheng Weining, who has a disability, accompanied by volunteers, went to Beijing Capital International Airport to prepare for a flight on Shenzhen Airlines, which refused to take Zheng Weining on the grounds of physical inconvenience. Zheng Weining argued that he often traveled by air and had no previous experience of being refused carriage by an airline because of physical inconvenience. People with disabilities enjoy the basic rights of citizens and should be treated equally and should not be discriminated against. "Buses and subways now have free tickets for the disabled, and Shenzhen's cabs have thoughtful services for the disabled. The last, the biggest and the most difficult to break through, the bulwarks that prevent the implementation of barrier-free access are the few airlines, which are also the bulwarks of discrimination and the bulwarks that make people with disabilities lose their dignity." Zheng Weining said that once his request for moral consolation money is supported, it will all be donated to the cause of the disabled.

On the refusal to carry behavior, Shenzhen Airlines explained that there was already a Canyou on the plane, according to the relevant provisions of the plane can only carry two Canyou at a time, and therefore can no longer provide services for Zheng Weining; and Canyou should be in the purchase of a ticket or the aircraft take-off before a certain period of time to the airline to explain the physical condition, in order to arrange for the provision of services, and previously Zheng Weining did not comply with this provision.

On Zheng Weining's high-priced consolation money lawsuit request, the experts said that although the Shenzhen Airlines refused to carry the disabled can not be relied on, but similar cases are generally required to apologize and symbolic compensation for damages, at the same time, the loss can only be calculated in accordance with the direct loss and not in accordance with the indirect loss. In terms of moral damages, the Supreme People's Court's regulations is the highest general shall not exceed 50,000 yuan. Legal experts believe that the previous domestic anti-discrimination lawsuits in transportation focused on buses and subways, this lawsuit for the first time into the field of aviation, regardless of the outcome, are of landmark significance.

● Comment: Respecting and protecting the rights and interests of people with disabilities is something every business should do. People with disabilities are equal to the able-bodied and should not be treated unfairly by refusing transportation. Public transportation, as the term suggests, is for all members of the public and is available to all citizens. Zheng Weining's claim for high compensation is an exercise of his right to defend the dignity of all people with disabilities. For these members of society, society should give them more love and care. At the same time, Zheng Weining's encounter should also let the business introspection. In view of the Canyou traveling with many inconveniences, businessmen should improve their own services in a timely manner, to protect the rights of the disabled to do more good things.

These are the first time I've ever seen a movie in which a person has to be a part of the movie, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea.
