The flame of the Beijing Paralympic Games will burn atop the Bird's Nest on Saturday night. It will be a night of reunion and dream fulfillment for more than 4,000 disabled athletes from 148 countries and regions, a night of warmth and joy for the 83 million Chinese with disabilities and the world's disabled population of more than 600 million, as well as a night of passion and harmony for the six billion people across the globe.

The Paralympic movement, concept and spirit constitute an outstanding contribution to the modern Olympic Movement. Just like the modern Olympic Games, which has a history of more than a century, the 48-year-old Paralympic Games also seek to showcase the noble nature of mankind, such as the enterprising spirit, transcendence, enthusiasm in participation, as well as harmony and fraternity. "Two Games, Equal Splendor" is a promise China has made to the world. And China has proposed the concepts of "transcendence, integration and equality" for the Beijing Paralympic Games. The country and its people are fulfilling the promise and performing international duties with utmost sincerity and in a down-to-earth manner. This has fully demonstrated that China highly values the Paralympic Games, earnestly takes care of the disabled, and sincerely wishes to promote the humanitarian spirit.
