中国召开残奥会动员会

A rally has taken place at the Great Hall of the People ahead of Team China's departure for the Paralympic Games in Rio.

里约残奥会开幕之前，中国残奥会代表团在人民大会堂举行出征动员会。

The Rio Paralympics Games are set to open in around a week's time.

308 athletes will make up China's Paralympic team, the largest China has ever sent overseas to a Paralympics.

In the past three summer Paralympic games, China has dominated the medal table. 

As such, expectations were running high at the Great Hall of the People.

Vice¹ Premier² Liu Yandong says this year's squad³ of Chinese Paralympians should be striving for excellence⁴.

'Heros cannot be judged by victory or defeat. Either as an individual athlete or a sports team, you should always do the best that you can, and show the high-level athletic⁵ ability of Chinese disabled people.'
