Moreover, two blind children will carry the Chinese national flag and hand it over to flag bearers, then two disabled children will light the flame of the Asian Para Games, according to Zhu.

"The love between parents and children - especially when talking about disabled persons - is an eternal theme that will be surely touching for all audience," Zhu said.

Before the Asian Para Games, Zhu was not a household name. He had been a directing team member of the opening ceremony of Beijing Asian Games in 1990.

"I was too young at that time," said Zhu, whose inspiration for the opening of the Guangzhou Asian Para Games came partly from a story of his disabled younger sister.

Zhu's sister died in 2003 of a disease that caused her bones to lose their blood supply.

"Before her death, she kept telling me to thank people who once gave love to her. From then on, I knew what was really important in a disabled person's heart," Zhu said.

"My sister's story greatly refreshed my mind and gave me a lot of passion when I was assigned to direct the opening ceremony."

The ceremony, which will also feature typical Cantonese songs, includes 4,600 performers, of which 300 are disabled, according to Zhu.
