What does the Paralympic Games mean?

The full name should be Paralympic Games. China people are so straightforward.

But it's not called this abroad. People call it Paralympics. It doesn't feel so harsh to call people with disabilities.

The Olympic Games is a challenge to human limits, while the Paralympic Games is a challenge to psychology. The purpose is to arouse the concern of the society for the disabled and encourage them to live a brilliant life despite their disabilities.

The second floor is funny. The Paralympic Games was also held in China for the first time. You are talking about the Special Olympics in Yangpu, Shanghai. Participants are mainly mentally retarded athletes.

It is also true that people do not attach importance to the Paralympic Games. We don't want the Paralympic Games to make too much noise. We just hope to pay more attention to the disabled and do our best to help them. Now barrier-free cities in big cities such as Shanghai and Beijing are the best embodiment. Shanghai has always been at the forefront of the country. Most of the attractions, stadiums, overpasses and parks in subways, toilets and business buildings have barrier-free measures. There may still be a shortage of buses, but it should be done slowly. We can't eliminate all the existing buses at once. Beijing did badly in the past, but I think it has been greatly improved by the east wind of the Olympic Games.
