HANGZHOU, China, April 20 (Bernama-AsiaNet) — The official mascot of the 4th Asian Para Games was announced to the world during a ceremony held online.
The charming and optimistic bird Feifei (pronounced Fay Fay in English) is based on a common motif of a “divine bird” in the prehistoric Liangzhu Culture of Hangzhou. The “divine bird” is a harbinger of good news and messenger of culture and happiness in Chinese culture.
The first ‘Fei’ means flying, referring to inclusiveness, respect and fraternity of society. The second ‘Fei’ represents the tenacity of athletes with disabilities who pursue their dreams.
