According to statistics, there are 16 million mentally disabled patients in China, most of whom are special groups that are suffering from the vicious circle between poverty and illness. They are the "hard bones" of the poverty alleviation movements; Some of these patients can't find their way home, some are being locked at home, some are walking on the road with rags, some living on the streets by picking trash, some lost consciousness for their hands and toes in the freezing temperature.
Poverty does not only cause tremendous illnesses and deaths, but also cause crisis to the social security. Most of the families of these patients could not afford the expenses of the hospitalization, that is also the reason why the patients walked out of home and become homeless. To solve the problem of poverty relief for these patients, only by charitable or humanitarian actions of taking them for hospitalization can we achieve the Sustainable Development Goal #1 of No Poverty.
