"the people's city is for the people" means "everyone has a stage and everyone can shine"
like a coincidence separated by thousands of miles, the chengdu paralympic games and special olympics opened on the same day as the paris paralympic games.
from the world to the cities, everyone is trying to provide people with disabilities with a stage to showcase their talents and challenge themselves, allowing them to climb both world-class peaks and the mountains at their doorstep.
every competition is like a reminder, and every self-transcendence is a passionate appeal:the disabled community needs both meticulous protection and more opportunities and possibilities. the paralympics is a window that allows them to step out of their hearts and help them fly far away.

when the "paralympics" and "paralympics" are in the same frame, all you can see are scenes of people with disabilities fighting bravely, but more meaning is also off the field: people see their ordinary moments, see their efforts to integrate into society, and also see how society tolerates them.the shock and interaction inside and outside the stadium made the feelings between ordinary people and people with disabilities go beyond "pity" and "sympathy", and made "equality" and "respect" more concrete.
to be fair, the goal of every paralympic games is the same, which is to enable disabled people to overcome themselves, enhance their self-confidence and improve their physical fitness. but this one is different: this year, chengdu's youngest eastern new district hosted the paralympic games for the first time, and the simple and elegant chengdu institute of physical education ball games stadium became the main hosting venue. all athletes can live in independent courtyards... new venues, new facilities, and new services make people feel the city's meticulous convenience.
a disabled person once commented on chengdu: "for those of us in wheelchairs, this is a city without worries." there is warmth hidden in this simple expression.
in chengdu, stories about people with disabilities are both warm and powerful. you must be moved by niu niu, the little girl who serves as a sign language interpreter for her deaf-mute father. not only was she included in the 2024 chengdu municipal government work report, but her family was also invited to participate in the 2024 new year's eve "walk the streets of chengdu, welcome the new year with the tianfu painting scroll". you must also be inspired by "spring outing brother" niu yu, the "steel-legged girl" who survived the wenchuan earthquake. not only did she have a stable life in chengdu, she also gained a sweet love... at different ages and in different identities, they used their actions to tell the world that they are the masters of their own destiny, and together they interpreted the meaning of struggle and the value of life, and together tempered the spiritual outlook of this city.
the inclusive city atmosphere and friendly city spirit have traces behind them. you may not know that at this year's chengdu municipal two sessions, a cppcc member directly asked the housing and construction department about how to promote the construction of barrier-free facilities; you may not have noticed that in order to make disabled people feel more at ease when traveling, chengdu has spent several years exploring new paths for barrier-free environments and all-age friendly, taking the lead in barrier-free tourism.
from public policies to individual needs, we always regard people with disabilities as an indispensable part of society and work hard to meet their actual needs.this spirit of striving to expand their living radius and not letting any group fall behind is also the driving force for a city's upward growth and reflects a city's deep humanistic care.. in the final analysis, "the people's city is for the people" means that "everyone has a stage and everyone can shine."
autumn is coming and the harvest is around the corner. let’s look forward to it together and let the wonderful moments of disabled athletes mark a new cultural scale for the city.
