From March 4 to 12, around 600 Paralympians from 46 countries and regions competed in 78 events of six ice and snow sports in the Games. China has the largest team with sixty-eight men and twenty-eight women athletes. They won many prizes for the country’s Winter Paralympic (冬残奥) history.
All the athletes have something wrong with their bodies. Some are blinded or deaf. It is difficult to imagine how they live. But they never lose the hope for life. Instead, they find the meaning of sports. To make everything easy for them, Beijing did a lot of things, such as automatic doors, audio services, Braille signage (盲文), special seats and bathrooms. “It has been a good few years of hard work,” said an officer.
In China, there are 85 million people with disabilities. They join in different activities in culture and sports these years with a rise from 6.8% in 2015 to 23.9% in 2021. Chinese government actually tries to help them. As of 2020, 10,675 special sports centers were built and 125,000 athletes were trained.
All the results show the care from Chinese government to the people with disabilities.
