Beijing welcomed the world to the 2008 Paralympic Games on September 6 with an Opening Ceremony that began at 8:00 p.m. at the Bird's Nest. In front of a full house, performers gave heartwarming presentations, fully illustrating the Paralympic theme of "Transcendence, Equality and Integration."
After Hu Jintao, the President of the People's Republic of China, declared the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games open, torchbearers emerged to relay the flame. To reach and ignite the final torch in the National Stadium, Chinese Paralympian Hou Bin, sitting in a wheelchair, showcased strength and grace by pulling himself up through the air with a rope. Perhaps more than anything else, the determined look on his face exemplifies the spirit of the Paralympic Games.
