在2022年卡塔尔世界杯的开幕式上，好莱坞知名演员摩根·弗里曼 (Morgan Freeman) 现身。一同出现的还有一位身体有缺陷的年轻卡塔尔男孩，而他的出现吸引了全世界的注意力。



During the opening ceremony of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, there was a surprise appearance by iconic Hollywood actor Morgan Freeman but he was not on the Al Bayt stadium pitch alone. The American superstar was spotted with a young physically-challenged Qatari boy, who grabbed the attention of the world. 6park.com
这个男孩名叫加尼姆·阿尔·穆夫塔 (Ghanim Al Muftah)，是今年世界杯大使之一。



穆夫塔在卡塔尔出生时患有一种罕见的疾病，即尾部退化综合征 (CRS)，这是一种先天性疾病，会使得胎儿的下半身发育不正常。 6park.com
Al Muftah was born in Qatar with a rare condition known as caudal regression syndrome, a congenital disorder in which the foetal development of the lower body is abnormal. 6park.com
当他的父母得知穆夫塔的病情后，他们面临着一个地狱般的决定：是继续怀孕，还是进行流产。但他们还是选择了前者。2002年，穆夫塔与他的双胞胎兄弟一起出生。

出生时，医生认为穆夫塔只能活15年。在他小时候，由于自身身体状况，他一直在努力寻找愿意接收他的学校。 6park.com
尽管如此，穆夫塔没有让病情阻止他对生活的热爱。他热衷于各种运动，从潜水、攀岩、足球、冰球和游泳到健身房锻炼和射箭，无所不包。



But the determined youngster refused to let his condition stunt his thirst for life and decided to take on a range of sports — tackling everything from scuba diving, rock climbing, football, ice hockey and swimming, to workouts in the gym and archery. 6park.com
穆夫塔还曾克服体能上的挑战，攀登了杰贝尔沙姆斯山 (Jebel Shams mountain)。这是阿拉伯半岛的最高峰之一，高度达9827英尺。他还希望有一天可以成为一名残奥会运动员 (Paralympian)。

除此之外，穆夫塔还带头做起了自己的慈善事业，致力于帮助其他残疾儿童。在家人的支持下，他成立了慈善协会 (Ghanim al-Muftah Association)。



他在大学的网站上谈到了自己未来的雄心壮志。他说：“今天，世界上10亿的残疾人中仍然有很多人在努力克服人权问题和融入社会的现实阻碍。但我希望我可以提高公众对残疾人的认识；促进对残疾人的尊重，并在此过程中形成更加包容和宽容的社会。” 6park.com
And he spoken out about his future ambitions on the university's website, saying: "Today, many of the world's one billion disabled women and men still struggle to overcome barriers blocking their human rights and inclusion in societies. I hope to help raise public awareness on disability rights; foster respect for disabled persons and through the process promotes more inclusive and tolerant societies."



加尼姆·阿尔·穆夫塔这个名字在阿拉伯语里是“胜利者”的意思。人如其名，不向自己的命运屈服，就是真正的胜利者！
