2023-10-23

Gathering by the banks of the Qiantang River, playing the music of pursuing dreams. The 4th Asian Para Games opened in Hangzhou on the evening of 22nd. Ding Xuexiang, Vice Premier of the State Council, attended the opening ceremony and announced the opening of the Asian Para Games. The Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium is brightly lit, flowing with colors, like a beautiful "big lotus". More than 40000 spectators cheered and laughed at the scene, sharing this unforgettable moment together. The current Asian Paralympic Games, which practices the concept of "sunshine, harmony, self-improvement, and sharing", is another international sports event for disabled people held by China after the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, and also an Asian sports event held in accordance with the spirit of "two Asian Games are equally exciting". At around 19:30, amidst the lively and passionate music, Ding Xuexiang, along with the Chairman of the Asian Paralympic Committee, Majid Rashid, and the President of the International Paralympic Committee, Parsons, walked into the podium and waved to the audience. As two hearing impaired children wearing cochlear implants and healthy children sang the music of "My Motherland", dozens of hearing impaired children escorted the national flag into the venue and accurately handed it to the honor guards. With the loud and clear sound of the national anthem, everyone stood up, and the sign language teacher in the venue, along with disabled actors, affectionately sang the national anthem with everyone in sign language. The five star red flag is slowly rising and fluttering in the wind. The opening short film "Full of Love in Hangzhou City" attracted the attention of the entire audience. Hangzhou, in the name of the Asian Paralympic Games, once again sends a sincere invitation to all of Asia. Subsequently, the literary performance "Heart to Heart Appointment" kicked off. A visually impaired little girl stood still and spoke in a childish voice in the quiet night, telling the story of the joy of attracting guests when osmanthus bloomed. The iconic scenery of Hangzhou is presented on the screen, with 22 groups of golden osmanthus flowers constantly changing, forming a huge "golden osmanthus corolla" in the air. After walking around the field for a week, the props and carriages lined up in the middle of the field. The girl holding the golden osmanthus wreath prepared to welcome the athletes into the field. At 19:45, accompanied by the lively music "Our Asia", the athletes' entrance ceremony began. This Hangzhou Asian Paralympic Games has attracted delegations from 44 countries (regions) and over 3100 disabled athletes to participate. In the next 6 days, they will participate in 22 major events and 564 minor events. The host Chinese sports delegation finally entered the venue, with applause and cheers from all over the room. The Chinese delegation consists of 723 people, including 439 participating athletes, who will compete in all 22 major events. Wang Hao, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Fourth Asian Para Games and Governor of Zhejiang Province, Cheng Kai, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Fourth Asian Para Games and Chairman of the China Disabled Persons' Federation, and Majid Rashid, Chairman of the Asian Paralympic Committee, delivered speeches successively. At 20:55, Ding Xuexiang, Vice Premier of the State Council, announced the opening of the fourth Asian Para Games in Hangzhou! The "digital fireworks" bloomed brilliantly, and the audience applauded warmly. The literary and artistic program "Brave Forward" uses the artistic expression of "gold and stone seal carving" to interpret the fighting spirit of disabled athletes who are "sincere in their efforts and open to gold and stone". In the short film, the technique of carving gold and stone seals is combined with the physical movements of the disabled athlete "Blade Warrior" on site to start the performance. Perfect collaboration between healthy dancers and wheelchair dancers. 22 appear around the ground screen
