Carrying the Flame of Inspiration
Excited, proud, and even a little emotional, I experienced a rush of different feelings when I passed the flame of the 4th Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, 1 capital city of Zhejiang province, on Saturday as one of the 600 torchbearers (火炬手).
Although from different backgrounds, we 600 torchbearers all have something in common: Our deep respect for the para sports movement and the spirit in 2 these sports are contested. The flame that I carried was passed on by the first torchbearer of the relay, powerlifting Paralympic and world champion Tan Yujiao. The Rio and Tokyo Paralympic gold medalist is 3 (particular) proud to attend the Asian Para Games at home, both as a torchbearer and an athlete.
“My heart is just like the flame right now. I used to be a kid with 4 (disability) who could not even attend our school’s PE classes, and now I’m a para athlete who is aiming at 5 (break) my own world record. Life presents me with the 6 (tough) tests, and I have lived my life in the most beautiful way,” said Tan.
When I was informed that I 7 (choose) for the honor, I asked myself one simple question: What will I actually pass through the flame? I think my fellow torchbearer Tan summed it 8 better than I could: “What I hope to pass on is the spirit of the para athletes that enables them 9 (fight) against all odds to win and chase excellence. I also want to pass on their positive energy, their 10 (confident) and strength.”
