This Asian Paralympic Games evolved from the Far South Games. The full name of the Far South Games is the Far East and South Pacific Games for the Disabled. The first 1975 was held in Japan, and then it went through the third session of the second session until the eighth and last Far South Games held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2006. Among them, China participated in the third Far South Games held in Hongkong from 65438 to 0982 for the first time. The slogan of the 6th Far South Games held in Beijing, China from 65438 to 0994 was "Equality, Participation and Enjoyment". 65438-0999 The 7th Far South Games held in Bangkok, Thailand was certified by the International Paralympic Committee for the first time, attracting athletes with mental retardation for the first time. Since the 4th 1986, China has been the first in the medal list. The 8th Far South Games is the last Far South Games, because the Far South Games Federation and the Asian Paralympic Council merged to form the Asian Paralympic Committee, and the Far South Games was renamed the Asian Paralympic Games.
The purpose of Guangzhou 20 10 Asian Paralympic Games is to carry forward the Olympic spirit and humanitarian spirit, highlight the humanistic concept of people-oriented, promote the development, exchange and cooperation of sports for the disabled in Asia, advocate the social fashion of helping the disabled and promote social harmony, progress and civilization. The emblem of Guangzhou Asian Para Games is a human figure composed of red, green and blue, which symbolizes the efforts, struggles and self-realization of athletes in the Asian Para Games. The mascot is the blooming kapok powder, which means that the fragrance of flowers is pleasant and lovely. The slogan is we gather, we share, and we win.
In order to better serve disabled athletes, we need to clearly understand the classification of disabled people. Physiologically, disabled people can be roughly divided into physical disability, hearing disability, visual disability, intellectual disability, mental disability and various disabilities. Disabled athletes are divided into spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, visual impairment, amputation and other physical disabilities, intellectual impairment and hearing impairment.
When dealing with disabled people, we should treat them as our friends, treat them as equals and respect each other. We should not treat them as disabled or special people, but as warm and harmonious as family members. To provide services for the disabled, we should obtain their consent and provide appropriate and moderate services when they need them. We should give them freedom of choice. For example, when leading the blind, we should first ask him if he needs our help, and at the same time let them feel safe and let them help us instead of being forced to help us. Remind the road conditions in time, such as reminding the disabled before going up the stairs, so that they can prepare physically and psychologically. We should walk a little ahead of the disabled, move gently, and don't rush. When pushing the wheelchair, you should hold your hands tightly, keep your body posture correct, move slowly and steadily, always look straight ahead, lean forward slightly when going uphill, lean back slightly when going downhill, and hold the wheelchair slightly with your arms. If the slope is funny, we should back up and push the wheelchair. When taking the elevator and entering some security doors, make sure that the wheelchair is in the middle and the wheelchair can pass smoothly. Volunteers should enter the elevator in advance, so that it is convenient to press the elevator floor, and when they leave the elevator, they can see whether the situation outside the elevator is safe. When you are in trouble, ask for help in time. We should also try to learn some sign language so as to communicate with the disabled better when necessary.
In short, when serving the disabled, we must be careful, patient and careful, and create a warm, equal, trusting and safe environment for the disabled with sound eyes and hands. The service of the Asian Paralympic Games is difficult for volunteers, so we must wholeheartedly, make 100% efforts, serve sincerely and share warmth. Let the Paralympic volunteers feel the enthusiasm, sincerity and intention of Guangzhou and China with our practical actions, and ensure the success of the Asian Paralympic Games.
