Today, I attended the Yonex Badminton Public Welfare Promotion Event for the . From the moment I entered, I noticed Liu Yutong and Qu Zimo (badminton Paralympic champions) whispering and giggling to each other, maintaining this state until they took the stage. When asked during the interview what was so amusing, they replied that they were just thinking about how to answer the questions. Clearly, the children from the special school and the second-tier disabled athletes were also infected by their cheerfulness, which livened up the atmosphere on site. Ease and cheerfulness were my first impressions of these two Paralympic champions. I believe this is also the power of sports—a force that transcends self and inspires others. It turns smiles into the most powerful weapon and optimism into the most precious asset.
