Snowflake helps spread the warmth

YINCHUAN－For Ma Yifei, a 16-year-old visually impaired teenager, the violin performance of the Beijing 2022 theme song, Snowflake, is her best present for Paralympians across the globe.

When playing the piece at the closing ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics on Sunday, Ma thought of the athletes who, despite their physical challenges, had worked so hard to hone their skills and reach the top level of their sports.

"I felt very empowered. I'm also a person with disabilities and wanted to do something for them with my music," she says.
