Who was the torchbearer who carried the torch at the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games?

There were seven torchbearers at the opening ceremony.

Light the cauldron

Moved by long-term attention.

The torch of Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games arrived at Beijing National Stadium on the evening of 6th. Six disabled torchbearers hand in hand here to pass the torch to the last torchbearer, Paralympic athlete Hou Bin. After nearly 4 minutes and 40 meters of climbing rope, Hou Bin successfully lit the main torch for light and hope.

In the solemn song of the Paralympic Games, the flag of the Paralympic Games slowly rises and flies side by side with the five-star red flag over the "Bird's Nest". The two flags are flying at the same time, which indicates that a great and exciting moment is coming, and the moment that needs to hold one's breath the most is about to be presented to the whole world. At that moment, the three-hour opening ceremony performance seemed to be a strong foreshadowing for lighting the main torch.

The audience and people all over the world are waiting quietly. It was the music that tore the silence, and the passionate music sounded, dynamic and powerful. With the deep and profound slogan of "flame lit, flame lit, flame lit" in the venue, the first torchbearer came to us with a smile.

Yes, it is the beautiful angel who always smiles, and the beautiful girl Jin Jing who firmly guards the torch with courage and strength, which looks particularly beautiful under the sleepless starry sky tonight. She smiled and showed the torch to the audience; She smiled, turned her wheelchair and walked forward firmly; She smiled and waved to the athletes who were only a few tens of centimeters away from her. It is this smile, a familiar smile. When the torch was held in her arms, we already saw it. We saw it when we collected the Paralympic flame in the Temple of Heaven. Today, we once again see the brave smile that belongs to Jin Jing.

The second torchbearer appeared in people's field of vision, and it was Wu, a retired soldier and a gold medal winner in Paralympic swimming. Holding the torch high in one hand and leaning on a crutch in the other, he took a difficult but firm step. At the 1988 Paralympic Games, Wu won the gold medals in the men's A-class 100 m breaststroke and 200m medley in one fell swoop, and broke the world records of these two events. Wu, who has bid farewell to the stadium for many years, is still clearly visible in the heroic spirit of athletes and soldiers.

The third torchbearer appeared. Zhang Hongwei unfortunately lost his left hand in a car accident when he was young. He rose in frustration and found his precious Paralympic gold medal winner in track and field. After three high-fives with Wu, he began to run on the "Bird's Nest" runway. As he ran, he waved his arms and greeted the audience present. Zhang Hongwei has vigorous steps and light posture. He kept running forward, leaving behind thunderous applause and excited cheers, and his smile and strength were in the hearts of all the audience present. We are also familiar with this smile. In 2000, when he won two gold medals in the long jump at the Paralympic Games in Sydney and broke the world record, we also saw this kind of smile. At that time, Zhang Hongwei also strode forward and smiled, leaving the seemingly "impossible" behind.

The fourth torchbearer is Zhang Haidong, whose outstanding performance in the Paralympic Games has written a wonderful chapter in his life. 1987 began to participate in physical training, and the Sydney Paralympic Games broke the world record three times and won the championship. In the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games, he served as the flag bearer of the China delegation; At the moment, Zhang Haidong is holding the torch, and he has regained the feeling of lifting barbells, full of strength and hope.

The fifth torchbearer is Sun Changting, a track and field athlete and Paralympic champion, and the torch handover of Ping Yali, the sixth torchbearer, is equally touching. Ping Yali, the first gold medalist in the history of China Paralympic Games, came to Sun Changting under the guidance of a clever guide dog to welcome the heavy torch that has been coming for a week. She will use this torch to convey the flame to the torch that finally lights the main torch tower.

The most exciting moment has come. Hou Bin, the last torchbearer and Paralympic athlete, who won the Paralympic high jump gold medal twice in 1996 and 2000, and also set the Paralympic Games1.92m world record in 1996, will light the sacred Paralympic flame with his torch. Nearly 4 minutes, nearly 40 meters, Hou Bin in a wheelchair climbed up with a rope perpendicular to the ground. "What a high torch and a long rope!" The audience couldn't help standing up, and the audience couldn't help praying to make those arms stronger and make the climb smoother! Two short stays, accompanied by more determined and upward efforts, accompanied by a flood of cheers from the audience, accompanied by the hope of climbing the torch. After more than 20 days of training, I can only climb more than ten meters at a time, and now I am only one step away from victory. The air at the scene seems to have solidified during that hard climb.

Here we are at last! Wipe your sweat and catch your breath. Take off the torch safely placed in the wheelchair, move towards light, hope and dream of transcendence, integration and enjoyment. The main torch is blazing and the audience is boiling ... (Photo taken by our reporter Wang, Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Ge, Lin Yiguang, Chloe Wang and Liao Yujie, produced by our reporter Song)
