After about half a month of preparation, I finally managed to get this thing done with not much left. After the rehearsal on Monday, the official performance will be held at 2 PM today. I will tell you all about the situation at the scene tomorrow. For now, let me post the script for today's afternoon performance here. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― We are forever together! - Celebrating the 25th International Blind Day
Opening song (emotional, calm)
As autumn deepens, it becomes necessary to warm each other day by day...
As the weather cools, it becomes necessary for hearts to come closer together...
When the autumn wind rises, we gather together,
Just to celebrate this day, this moment - the 25th International Blind Day.
No matter yesterday, today, or a distant future...
Know that no matter when or where, no matter how things change, (in unison) we will always be together!
MUSIC (transition to gradually joyful)
Today, we gather here to celebrate such a memorable holiday for our blind friends, which is a very happy thing. I am Ma Gang, the host of the "New Life with Housing" program on Liaoning People's Radio Station Traffic Channel. I am Wang Yifei, the host of the "Consumer Alliance" program on Liaoning People's Radio Station Traffic Channel...
Here, we first sincerely represent all the cast and crew as well as the director of today's performance, Mr. You Shen, in congratulating all the blind friends present today on a happy holiday!
On October 15th today, not only do so many blind friends come here to celebrate their own festival, but also many leaders and guests have arrived to share the joy of the festival with everyone. They are... (the Disabled Persons' Federation provides the list of leaders present and the order of introduction) Please welcome () to give a speech for today's celebration performance!

Salute! Please sit down! Thank you to the Dongling District Blind Chorus for singing the national anthem on-site.
MUSIC
Today's performance is called "We Are Forever Together!" Do you know why?
I think it's because all disabled friends are always united, and all caring individuals in society are always inseparable from our disabled friends, right?!
Exactly! Because whether it's blind friends or all caring individuals in society, our common desire is for all blind friends to have light in their hearts and infinite dreams!
Yes, so let's dance towards the light!

Thank you to the volunteer friends of Shenyang Conservatory of Music for their excellent street dance performance "Dancing Towards the Light"... (slight pause)
While we celebrate this festival, we will not forget who gave us such a harmonious environment. While we enthusiastically praise this grand event, we will never forget that only in such a peaceful and united large family of the People's Republic of China can we possibly share this kind of happiness. So, let's sing together to bless such a beloved country. Let's use our songs to open the most magnificent chapter for such a festival - please enjoy the medley of songs "Singing for Our Country" and "Blessing Our Country" sung by blind friends from Dadong District and Shenhe District.
Dadong District Blind Grand Chorus "Singing for Our Country"
Shenhe District Blind Grand Chorus "Blessing Our Country"
From their heartfelt singing, we can hear their sincere gratitude for being able to celebrate this happy festival here with everyone...
Thank you to our country for giving so much care to our disabled friends, and even more gratitude to all the social volunteers and caring individuals for their care and support for our blind friends. With so much love, there will be a lot of hope filled with light rising in the hearts of each of us...
Toward these hopes, we go forward together, walking in the light! Below, please enjoy the small ensemble of traditional Chinese music "Walking in the Light" brought by the children from Shenyang School for the Blind.
City School for the Blind "Walking in the Light"
If our eyes are full of darkness, then in such a world full of love, our hearts are full of light. If the pain of the older generation is unforgettable scars, then the autonomous and independent lives of blind friends in the new era are the most beautiful chapters.
Passing through the 60s of rebuilding after devastation, walking through the passionate 70s, and experiencing the reform and opening-up of the 80s, we have crossed into a new millennium! Below, please enjoy the chorus "Marching into a New Era" brought by blind friends from Tiexi District.

Speaking of the biggest events of 2008, can you tell me a few?
There are many! There were earthquake relief efforts, the Olympic Games, and spacewalks by Shenzhou VII...
Hey, right! In so many major events this year, the figures of our disabled friends were also active among them, and they achieved remarkable results, did you know?!
Are you talking about the Paralympics?!
Yes! I know that in this Beijing Paralympic Games, our disabled friends from Liaoning and Shenyang also participated as athletes and won three gold medals!
Really?! Is the champion among us today?! Then quickly bring them to the stage!
Alright, first let's welcome the Paralympic champion Zhang Zhen!
MUSIC (entrance music, request an Olympic song, fade after the interviewee enters)
Zhang Zhen, hello! Your name is the same as a ghost story host from Liaoning Radio, I would like to ask if in life, you should also be someone who fears nothing?
Zhang Zhen, please remember this loud name, he is not only a Paralympic gold medal champion, but also a towering man!
We have also invited Zhang Zhen's father to the program today, let's welcome Mr. Zhang onto the stage.
Mr. Zhang, hello! Nice to meet you at our performance site today.
With such an outstanding son, what more wishes do you hope he fulfills for you? (Mr. Zhang said he hopes his son finds a wife soon).
Zhang Zhen, since your father has expressed this is his greatest wish, do you have confidence in fulfilling it soon? What does your ideal wife look like? (Please Zhang Zhen describe on-site).
Now we are conducting a live matchmaking session for our Paralympic champion Zhang Zhen here!
Such a lovely young man, do the ladies in the audience like him?! (Audience participation required).
Since you like him, are you willing to marry him and become his wife?!
Great! Since so many people are eager, it seems we can't help Zhang Zhen select individually today. If any lady in the audience truly likes Zhang Zhen, please call him after the performance, the number is...
This world, as long as it is filled with love, everything will no longer be cold!
This human world, as long as it is filled with love, this road will no longer let us walk alone...
Let's celebrate together, may this world always be filled with love!

Now let's continue interviewing our dearest person, the double Paralympic champion, Li Duan!
Please welcome Li Duan!
MUSIC entrance music
Li Duan, we know you've been involved in disabled sports for 8 years, winning your first Olympic gold medal at the Sydney Paralympics in 2000. At the recently concluded Beijing Paralympics, you won two gold medals again! How does it feel to win a championship at home?!
Did you bring the gold medal with you today?! (Please Li Duan display the gold medal, the host describes it on-site for the disabled audience)
We know that after winning these two Paralympic gold medals, Li Duan did not keep them privately. He said he hoped to donate one of them to Sichuan disaster areas to build a rehabilitation center. Li Duan, has this wish of yours been realized?! (Regardless of whether it has been realized, please Li Duan express why he chose to do this).
Can you tell all the guests and blind friends present today, who did you give these two medals to when you took them home?! (Li Duan gave one medal to his wife and son, and took the other to pay respects to his deceased father. This is an emotional point, please the host appropriately excavate on-site, striving for tears).
Li Duan's wife (name: ) is also among us today, let's welcome her to accept our interview.
What is your name...? You are a fully abled person, do you regret marrying Li Duan?! Can you tell us all why?!
Li Duan, can you tell me how many years you've been married?! (Li Duan answers) How old is your child now?! (Three years old). Can you tell me what the nickname you gave your child is?! (The child's nickname is Hope). Why did you give him such a hopeful name?! (Li Duan answers)
Mrs. Li Duan, in the years since your marriage, what is the happiest and most fulfilling thing for you?! (The host guides her to talk about something touching, one example is enough.)
Li Duan is not only a Paralympic champion but also the cutest person among us, a soldier. On his life journey, although there are thorns, setbacks, and tears, there is also laughter.
This path of life, perhaps short, perhaps long, but we believe that the path for Li Duan and all disabled friends will surely be filled with hope.
Although there may be regrets and waves, we have never given up hope, because we are walking on the great road!
Sujia Tun District Blind Chorus "We Walk on the Great Road"
A military song finishes, leaving us with endless reverie.
In thanking the excellent performance of the Sujia Tun District Blind Chorus, I am deeply moved by our disabled friends. Their persistence, diligence, patience, and excellence make me feel full of hope.
Actually, do you know? For our disabled friends, the greatest hope is their children. Because children are their future.
Do you know?! Among the children of our disabled friends, there are also many outstanding representatives!
Please welcome our special guest, Liu Zhihong!

Mr. Liu, hello! What is your son's name? Can you introduce your son to the friends present here, how old he is, and where he studies?! (Studying abroad at university)
How do you educate your child at home normally? Why is he so ambitious to study abroad?!
Come, let's connect live with Mr. Liu Zhihong's son () who is currently studying overseas.
Host asks the son on-site: Today is the 25th International Blind Day, in such a festival, what would you like to say to your old father?
At our current performance site, your voice has already been heard by everyone through the MIC. Can you tell us here, what is your greatest wish after completing your studies?
Such a reality today was unimaginable in the past.
Only in such a harmonious society, such a loving country, could we regain wings of hope and achieve such gratifying realities today.
Yuhong District Blind Chorus "Socialism is Good"
Some say that when God closes a door, He will surely open another window for us.
After the hustle and bustle of the daytime, every night when only tranquility and silence remain...
Whenever we examine our inner selves, we will never forget to light the lamp in our hearts.
Beautiful heart lamps, making us no longer lonely...
