中国残奥运动员鼓舞人心

Yang Hongqiong never thought sports would be a part of her life after becoming a paraplegic, much less that she would get the chance to represent her country and achieve at the highest level.

瘫痪后的杨洪琼从来没有想过体育会成为她生活的一部分，更没有想过自己会有机会代表国家取得最高水平的成绩。

The 32-year-old Paralympic cross-country skier was commended for her outstanding contribution to the Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Games and spoke on behalf of Olympian and Paralympian awardees at the Great Hall of the People on Friday. She is one of the most decorated Chinese Paralympians, with three gold medals for different distances at the Beijing Winter Paralympics in March. She was also chosen as the flag-bearer of the Chinese delegation at the closing ceremony.

上周五，这位三十二岁的残奥会越野滑雪运动员在人民大会堂代表奥运会和残奥会获奖者发表讲话，称赞她为北京2022年奥运会和残奥会做出的杰出贡献。她是中国获得奖牌最多的残疾人运动员之一，在三月份的北京冬季残奥会上获得了三枚不同距离的金牌。在闭幕式上，她还被选为中国代表团的旗手。

Becoming a Winter Paralympic champion was not in Yang's plan until 2018 when she switched to the sport at 29 after training as a wheelchair basketball player in Southwest China's Yunnan province, where ice and snow are rare.

成为冬季残奥会冠军并不是杨佳的计划，直到2018年，二十九岁的她在冰雪稀少的中国西南部云南省接受轮椅篮球运动员训练后，才转战这项运动。

她将自己的成功归功于当时她获得的机会，该省夏季奥运会项目的运动员被招入冬季残奥代表队。

After a period of hard training, Yang became explosive in sprints and able to go long distances. She said she was the one who fell the most on the team, but never gave up.

经过一段时间的艰苦训练，杨利伟在短跑和长距离比赛中表现出色。她说她是队里摔得最多的人，但她从未放弃。

Thanks to sports, I have enjoyed a new life, she said at Friday's ceremony. I exclaimed 'long live the motherland' when I crossed the finish line. I could not be prouder to win at home.

“多亏了体育，我享受了新的生活，”她在周五的仪式上说。“当我冲过终点线时，我高呼‘祖国万岁’。在主场取胜让我感到无比骄傲。

Close contacts of confirmed infections are still banned from leaving, according to the document.

所有计划离开现有社区的农业工作者，必须在出行前四十八小时内提供核酸检测阴性，并在出发当天提供抗原检测阴性。文件指出，确诊病例的密切接触者仍禁止离境。
