Beijing welcomed the world to the 2008 Paralympic Games on September 6 with an Opening Ceremony that began at 8:00 p.m. at the Bird's Nest. In front of a full house, performers gave heartwarming presentations, fully illustrating the Paralympic theme of "Transcendence, Equality and Integration."

420 actors with disabilities participated in the hour-long Opening Ceremony, titled "Flying with the Dream." The show, which focused on the "harmony between man and nature," included three chapters, or "journeys," through space, time, and life, respectively.

Journey of Time ballerinas took the stage, with one young girl sitting in a wheelchair directly under the spotlight. This brave eleven-year-old had big dreams of becoming a ballet dancer before her life was shaken by the devastating earthquake that struck southwest China in May. She lost her left leg, but not her spirit, enduring much pain and suffering to continue to pursue her dancing dream.
