Paris Olympics swimming gold medalist Qin Haiyang presents a gift to a girl.
A charitable event for elderly citizens and children with autism was held at the Lujiazui Elderly Service Center in the Pudong New Area on Friday with Paris Olympics swimming gold medalist Qin Haiyang conveying love and warmth.
In a joyful atmosphere, Qin interacted with the elderly and children who were attending paper-cutting courses, and presented them with his signed swim caps.
It was a surprising delight for senior citizens and children to meet the Olympic champion and receive the gifts, and they reciprocated with their own papercutting works.

In the men’s 4×100m medley relay during the Paris Olympics, the Chinese team made up of Qin and teammates took the gold medal.
“I am here to bring some positive emotions and happiness to everyone, and that’s very worthwhile,” said Qin.
An 80-year-old citizen surnamed Li, who smiled brilliantly during the meeting, said: “They (the Olympic athletes) bring glory to our country, and we also feel honored and proud.”
