The 8th Zhongshan Games for the Disabled kicked off on August 26. On the opening day, the disabled athletes of the dart, swimming and three-man basketball events were fighting bravely in the arenas of dreams.

They were showing us the power of life with their greatest efforts on the sports fields full of passion.

Beat the physical defects, unleash the potential of life.
