In the 1950s, the government launched several vocational training courses to help the blind find jobs. At that time, the training classes for the blind were not just massage, but also knitting classes, agricultural production classes and music classes. But in the following time, only massage and music developed, and most blind people engaged in massage. This is a historical choice, and it is also the fate of countless blind people since then. This is why when it comes to massage, everyone thinks that blind people do this most suitable historical root, which has become a unique label for the blind. After that, blind massage became popular, and I don't know the specific situation.
Probably 1 peaked in the eighties and nineties. According to the predecessors, it was profitable to massage the blind at that time. With the continuous growth of the blind massage team, there are more and more blind massage shops in the streets and alleys, and the competitive pressure is gradually increasing. At the same time, the market is becoming increasingly saturated, and everyone's business is generally not good. This is probably the present situation of blind massage in China. Since its development in 1950s, the present situation of blind massage is as follows:
From the academic level, the overall academic level is uneven, and the elements of the whole blind massage teacher are composed of six parts.
First, masseurs trained through short-term training courses organized by local disabled persons' federations or schools for the blind; Second, blind masseurs scattered in major massage places, who have not received formal systematic education (including short-term training courses), either because of family reasons or because of information occlusion, do not know that there are schools for the blind, or even have never attended school; They learned about a massage shop through the Disabled Persons' Federation, and began to work after studying with the master for a while.
The third is a full-time masseur who graduated from a technical secondary school for three years, and the fourth is a full-time graduate of a higher special education college.
