On the morning of March 2, in the warm home of Wangjing Street in Chaoyang District, the disabled fire miners assisted by sound fire miners to collect the flame of the Winter Paralympic Games - "Fire of Mutual Assistance" by means of "curling impact".
In the small courtyard of the warm home, a "competition venue" for dryland wheelchair curling was set up, which is the scene of the winter Paralympic fire collection. At 9:00 a.m., Pyeongchang Winter Paralympic wheelchair curling champion Athlete Wang Meng and Chaoyang District Disabled Persons' Federation Party Secretary and Chairman Chen Kaihong came to the "track". Chen Kaihong fixed the wheelchair for Wang Meng, who held the throwing pot putter and pushed the curling pot hard and hit the flame collector. The fire was instantly ignited and burned.
This way of mutual assistance and collection is intended to bring home-like warmth and strength to the disabled, help the disabled group to become self-reliant and self-reliant, and show the value of life.
Subsequently, the Flame Lantern and torch of the Winter Paralympic Games were also lit in turn. The only torchbearer at the tinder collection point, Ma Heng, a social worker for youth affairs in Chaoyang District, took off with a torch.
The warm home of Wangjing Street, a tinder collection point, has an indissoluble relationship with the Olympic Games. Founded in 2007, it has a vocational labor room, rehabilitation training room, etc., which can provide accurate rehabilitation services for the disabled. During the 2008 Olympic Games, it served as a window to show the world the development of China's disabled cause. "Today, as the torch collection and relay point of the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, we feel very honored to continue to pass on the Olympic spirit and make the warm home a real home for the disabled." He Qilong, head of warm homes, said.
On the afternoon of March 2, the tinder will be held in the Temple of Heaven Park together with other tinder collection ceremonies to form the official tinder of the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympic Games.
