Chris Wood (L), minister and deputy head of the British Embassy in China and Ping Yali, retired Chinese Paralympic long jump champion and now a blind massage clinic operator pose for photos during a ceremony to mark International Paralympic Day, as well as the one-year countdown to the London Paralympic Games at the British Ambassador's residence in Beijing September 8, 2011. The Ambassador was helping Ping, who is visually impaired, guiding her during the ceremony. Ping said: "I am happy to feel a friendly London presence here - just like when the Ambassador says 'Ms Ping, let's go now' when he holds my hand to lead me". [Photo/chinadaily.com.cn]
