As a blind torchbearer, it is not an easy task to light the torch smoothly. Torchbearer Li Duan's ability to accurately judge the direction and successfully light the Olympic main torch is inseparable from his hard training off stage. Coupled with the blind man's perception of distance, sound, and temperature, he created a legendary scene.

At the opening ceremony of the Winter Paralympics, the last torch bearer was taken over by disabled athlete Li Duan. He had to complete the whole process independently, and everyone was worried about him. Even the director, Mr. Zhang Yimou, was full of worries and admitted that he spent more time than everyone expected.

Li Duan’s performance did not disappoint. Although it took some time, he successfully lit the main torch. Being able to do this is inseparable from the following two elements. 1. Familiarity with the Torch Stand

Blind people have lost their sight and cannot use their eyes to guide us in doing things like normal people. All they can rely on are their ears and hands. By coordinating their ears and hands, they can ensure the successful completion of the task.

Li Duan's ability to successfully light the torch has a lot to do with his familiarity with the torch stand. During the hard rehearsals, Li Duan touched the torch stand countless times with his own hands and recorded the appearance of the torch stand, especially the shape of the torch latch. This provided him with strong guidance for successfully lighting the torch. 2. Identification of distance, heat source, and sound

As the saying goes, when God closes a door for you, he will reopen a window? As a blind athlete, Li Duan, although he cannot see with his eyes Light, his hearing, and his perception were all exercised and developed.

Compared to ordinary people, Li Duan's hearing is more sensitive, and his most powerful assistant in measuring distances is his own footsteps. Using his ears to identify the location of the object, and then using precise steps to lead him to the object smoothly, this is another important reason why Li Duan successfully lit the torch.

In addition, Li Duan also has a good sense of the heat emitted by the torch. By judging the heat, you can keep him at an appropriate distance and keep the torch upright without deflection.
