On September 5, the closing ceremony of the 16th Summer Paralympic Games was held in Tokyo, Japan. Dong Chao, a resident of the cooperative sub-district of Chengdu High-tech Zone, successfully defended his title in the R1-SH1 men's 10-meter air rifle vertical shooting event, which is also the third individual Paralympic gold medal won by the 36-year-old Dong Chao. "Congratulations to Dong Chao! He is the pride of Chengdu and the pride of the cooperative street! The relevant person in charge of the street congratulated Dong Chao.
Dong Chao lost his left lower limb due to an accidental traffic accident when he was young, although he was desperate and inferior, he showed his athletic talent through physical exercise and gained self-confidence. From practicing table tennis to switching to shooting, the two sports of one movement and one static are very different, and he has paid more effort and sweat than ordinary people. With his tenacity and perseverance on the sports field, he won a gold medal at the 2012 London Paralympic Games, which was also the first Olympic gold medal ever won by a disabled person in Sichuan Province. In 2016, Dong Chao successfully defended his title at the Rio Paralympic Games in Brazil.
In the past 15 years, Dong Chao has participated in 29 competitions at home and abroad, and has won 57 gold medals, 17 silver medals and 14 bronze medals, with a total of 88 medals.
In 2011, after being introduced, Dong Chao, as an athlete, met his wife Huang Xue, and after a year of getting along, two young people of the same age, mutual understanding and tolerance decided to spend their lives with each other and entered the palace of marriage.
Today, Dong Chao has two smart and clever children, and the family lives in the Qingjiang community of the cooperative street. When it comes to family, Dong Chao is more grateful to his wife, "She sacrificed too much for the family. Dong Chao, who usually takes up time by competitions and preparations, cannot take care of training and family well, and often his wife runs the family alone. The year before the selection of the Olympians, Dong Chao spent almost all of them in Beijing, "thank you very much for her dedication to her family." ”
Since the beginning of this year, the cooperative streets have carried out a number of investigations of the disabled, applied for hearing, limb, intelligence and other rehabilitation assistance for disabled children, declared living subsidies for the disabled in difficulty, and declared nursing subsidies for the severely disabled... The relevant person in charge of the cooperative street revealed that since the launch of party history study and education, the street has taken "I do practical things for the masses" as an important work content, and the Qingjiang community has applied for auxiliary supplies for 42 disabled people in the jurisdiction this year, including 1 crutches for Dong Chao. "In the next step, the street will further improve the quality of life of the disabled people in the jurisdiction, take multiple measures at the same time, optimize the services of the disabled, and help each disabled person realize the value of his or her life."
