Although high-tech use and brilliant performance are often considered as the shining points, the opening ceremony of the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Para Games will highlight love.
"The opening ceremony will focus on sentiment, plot and scene design, featuring the true love and caring for the disabled as well as their spirit of unremitting self-improving," said Chen Guo, deputy secretary general of Guangzhou 2010 Asian Para Games Organizing Committee (GAPGOC), in a press conference here on Saturday.
According to Chen, who is also the vice mayor of Guangzhou, the plan for the ceremony and performance to be staged on Sunday night has been improved after five main rehearsals, with the camera rehearsal on Friday being the last one.
"The ceremony includes three parts - each with an emotional theme to convey love among family, society and disabled persons," said chief director of the opening ceremony of the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Para Games, Zhu Jianwei in a previous press briefing.
"I'm 100 percent confident of showcasing a truly stunning gala for disabled persons," added Zhu.
More than 300 mothers of disabled athletes, from both China and abroad, will join their children during the athletes' parade. And some 4,500 artists, including nearly 200 disabled ones, will perform during the ceremony, which in the director's eyes is in keeping with the ceremony's theme.
The opening ceremony is scheduled for Dec. 12 at the Aoti Main Stadium in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province.
