[Collecting Fire with Sound]

The "Fire of Light"

Collected from Beijing School for the Blind

Blind Choir Teachers and Students

Collecting fire by singing chorus songs

When the song "Love's World" reaches a certain decibel

The light bar of the audio pressure meter reaches its highest point

Touching the igniter ignites the fire

The passion for the Olympics turns into a bright flame

Expressing the world through hearing

The concept of integrating music into society

These children who have a window closed

Gently touching the torch

Feel with your heart

【Passing the Torch with Dreams】

When the nine fires with their own characteristics are gathered together

"Nine-day Fire" illuminates the journey to the Beijing Winter Paralympics

The sun is shining and the sky is clear

The torch relay officially begins at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing

The first torchbearer

Member of the China Mountaineering Association

The first disabled athlete to climb Mount Everest

Xia Boyu

Xia Boyu said: "The Badaling Great Wall is the most important landmark of this Winter Paralympics.

The highest point of the torch relay

It’s like me climbing Mount Everest.”

In 1975, 26-year-old Xia Boyu climbed Mount Everest for the first time

Lost both legs due to frostbite

After the amputation surgery, Xia Boyu thought

I'll spend my whole life in a wheelchair.

I once lost confidence in life

It was not until one year later that a specialist consultation

I think he got prosthetic limbs.

Not only can you live like a healthy person

You can climb mountains again

From then on

Climbing Mount Everest again became Xia Boyu's goal

“Everest took away my feet

But it didn’t take away my love for mountaineering.”

Four attempts at Mount Everest

Four failures

Escape from danger every time, and rise up to fight again every time

In 2018, Xia Boyu challenged for the fifth time

Finally successfully climbed Mount Everest

At the age of 69, he used his iron limbs

On top of the world

"This is the only way I can fight against fate.

Even though I have no feet

But I don't lose to anyone.

I just want to prove myself by climbing Mount Everest

I regard climbing Mount Everest as my belief."

Xia Boyu's Story

It is the true embodiment of the Paralympic spirit.
