"Osmanthus is in bloom, come on, come to Hangzhou" "Osmanthus is in bloom, come on, Hangzhou welcomes you"... On October 22, in the dense atmosphere of "Golden Osmanthus", the opening ceremony of the 4th Asian Paralympic Games was held in the stadium of Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center. This is a stage for sweat and grace, a grand event for unity and friendship, and a place for miracles and hopes. The surging enthusiasm, warm humanity and fervent emotion have made this splendid opening ceremony of the Asian Paralympic Games a new chapter of cheering for sports and struggling for dreams.

Heart to heart, dreams shine. At the opening ceremony, the blind girl flew after her dream, and the "laurel corolla" opened its arms to the athletes who were physically challenged; Perfect dancers and wheelchair dancers dance, reflecting the image of life that transcends self and perseveres; The torchbearers held the laurel with their intelligent bionic hands and lit the main torch tower together with the mascot "Feifei" of the Asian Paralympic Games in Hangzhou. Science and technology and humanity complement each other... Each moving moment tells the audience the story of holding hands with each other, and spreads the beautiful implication of sunshine, harmony, self-improvement and love to the world.

The two Asian Games are equally wonderful. This Asian Paralympic Games has 22 sports and 564 events, with nearly 3100 athletes from 44 countries (regions) participating, which is the largest ever. Among them, 439 Chinese athletes will participate in all 22 sports of the Asian Paralympic Games. Sports ignite hope and strive to achieve dreams. For disabled athletes, sports competition means the dual training of skills and will, and means a great test of challenging oneself and life. Everyone has a story of striving for strength and is the champion of his own life.

When asked "what are your expectations for this Asian Paralympic Games", Majid Rashid, the chairman of the Asian Paralympic Committee, blurted out: "This Asian Paralympic Games will be the best Asian Paralympic Games ever."

"Osmanthus is as small as rice, but it is fragrant as peony". When talking about why the opening ceremony used "sweet scented osmanthus" to connect the whole audience, the staff explained that "sweet scented osmanthus does not form branches alone, but clusters. With the power of reunion, everyone is not alone". With the successful hosting of the Hangzhou Asian Paralympic Games as the symbol, it will further stimulate the disabled to participate in sports, fitness and rehabilitation, enjoy happiness, improve their physical fitness, participate in social life, and will certainly sow the seeds of peace, friendship and love in the hearts of more people, and promote the further development of the cause of the disabled.

At the opening ceremony, a Kuwaiti athlete in a wheelchair danced to his heart's content. One audience exclaimed, "This is the best dance I have ever seen.". This is the charm of sports and the tension of life. On the field, play the strong voice of life; Get a wonderful life off the field. In the next race, let's witness more stories of self-improvement and look forward to more beautiful hand in hand!
