Acknowledgments

The fieldtrip for this research was not possible without the support of the Harlan Hahn Award from the Disability Studies Program, University of Washington. In addition, I am grateful to my advisor Stephen Meyers who has always been supportive of my work and with whom I developed the ideas for this chapter. I thank Heather D. Evans for being my best reader and offering very constructive comments about my arguments and writing with tremendous patience. I also thank the editors and reviewers for their feedbacks and comments. The last remark is to my interviewees and those who are still on the frontlines and working to advance disability rights in China: Thank you for sharing your gripping stories with me.
