The hero has no words, but loves the sound.
The five-star red flag was escorted by 8 torchbearers of disabled and handicapped integration. They are Chinese disabled athletes and representatives who have contributed to the development of China's disabled cause. The visually disabled sang "Me and My Motherland" a cappella on both sides of the ceremony flag platform. .
Then the national flag was raised, the national anthem was played, and the hearing-disabled people at the scene also "sang" the national anthem in sign language.
On March 4, the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympic Games was held at the National Stadium "Bird's Nest", and Xuerongrong officially "taken over" Bing Dun Dun.
Sincere patriotism, strong family and national conditions.
In the silent and colorless world, their innocence is equally strong.
At this moment, the melody of "March of the Volunteers" flowed out from their ardent hearts, becoming the epitome of China's promotion of equal participation of the disabled and the all-round development of the cause of the disabled.

The romance continues, and the hope lasts for a long time. The torch platform in the shape of "big snowflake" is once again presented in front of the audience.
Li Duan, the blind athlete who was the last torchbearer, carefully groped for the torch interface in front of the torch stage, and inserted the "Flying" torch into the Xuehua torch stage. During this period, the audience burst into applause, and the resounding "Come on" resounded throughout the bird's nest.
At this moment, the opening ceremony of the Winter Paralympic Games was even more tender against the backdrop of the "slight fire" in the center of the Bird's Nest.
Whether it's the countdown to the opening ceremony, theatrical performances and the moment of ignition, the concept of "concentric circles" symbolizing unity, friendship and communion runs through, and it also makes people who follow this event feel the humanistic feelings of "one world, one family". .
If we say that the 24 solar terms countdown at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the water of the Yellow River rushing down from the sky, and the "welcoming pine" fireworks blooming over the Bird's Nest, show the "Chinese romance"; In the performance of "Under the Blue Sky", the dancers of the disabled and the disabled painted a beautiful smiling face, and the National Stadium sang the hymn of life together.
