The opening day of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games is the traditional "February 2nd, the dragon raises its head" in the Chinese lunar calendar, which has been a good day full of auspicious meaning since ancient times, and the bird's nest is basically calm during the day and at night, it can be said that the opening ceremony occupies the "time and place".
After the world saw the grand opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and witnessed the ethereal and beautiful opening ceremony of this year's Beijing Winter Olympics, the opening ceremony of this Winter Paralympic Games is still full of many highlights, such as the sports immersion experience of the countdown to the introduction of curling, the touching tears of the sign language version of the "cappella" national anthem, and the snow rong dancing in skates. However, the most impressive thing about this Winter Olympics is the idea of blind athletes who have not tried in previous Winter Olympics to light the torch.
Blind lighter Li Duan, a former professional basketball player who was a teammate with Wang Zhizhi, lost his sight due to an accident, but the unexpected blow did not destroy his confidence to move forward, but made him find his life value again in the Paralympic Games. This time he explored the torch insertion hole for a long time during the ignition, but after many failures, the audience shouted "come on" in unison gave him great confidence, and when he completed this sacred mission, the snowflake once again bloomed in the most beautiful colors.
After the opening ceremony, the general director Zhang Yimou responded that the ignition time exceeded expectations, longer than the rehearsal time, but he denied that it was a mistake, because in that case, the blind man's view of time and space were different, he was seriously exploring the light, reflecting the brave spirit of the disabled, coupled with the audience shouting in unison to cheer, director Zhang Yimou said that this is very touching!
However, as the general director, Zhang Yimou also admitted that he was also nervous at that time. In fact, many people did not notice that at that time, in order to prevent accidents, a volunteer was specially invited to accompany Li Duan to stand on the ignition platform, and the volunteer knelt on one knee in advance in order to protect him from falling, and helped Li Duan accurately find the embedding hole at a critical time, which is a kind of humanistic spirit of care, a very touching detail, and a concrete embodiment of the integration of disability and health and sharing the future.
