On November 24th, the theme song for China's upcoming 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games was released. Titled "Towards the Vast Ocean," the Mandarin version of the music video features a performance by young actor-singer Yi Yangqianxi. The relevant topics quickly trended on social media with over tens of millions of views, leaving many netizens moved to tears.

The MV resonated widely because of its core message of respect, authenticity, and equality. The camera directly captured the athletes' disabilities without evasion or sensationalism, boldly showcasing scenes like a one-armed boy swimming, a one-legged girl competing in track and field, and wheelchair fencing. This allowed viewers to genuinely feel their spirit and resilience. Some netizens praised the MV "shows full respect" and said they "cried from the slow-motion shots."

The video's authenticity is even more touching. In addition to showcasing the on-field performance of disabled athletes, the video incorporates everyday moments, including a man in a wheelchair helping an elderly woman cross the street, and interactions between able-bodied and disabled people at a bus stop, vividly embodying the concept of an inclusive society. One wheelchair tennis player remarked that the video "captured daily life," while netizens commented that "real stories are more moving than scripts."

The song resonates deeply with people with disabilities and their families. A mother of a hearing-impaired child broke down upon seeing the sign language segment. A netizen from Shandong shared the story of her hearing-impaired younger brother facing countless challenges growing up, noting that the MV neither dramatizes suffering nor glorifies disability. Instead, it quietly records how they, like everyone else, overcome challenges and embrace life, highlighting the powerful message that "they are not weak, but simply run in a different way."

为什么这首歌让网友看哭了？答案藏在视频的画面里

11月24日，全国第十二届残疾人运动会暨第九届特殊奥林匹克运动会会歌《共赴山海》普通话版MV正式发布，由易烊千玺献唱，相关话题迅速登上热搜，阅读量超千万，不少网友直言看哭。

MV之所以引发广泛共鸣，核心在于其传递的尊重、真实与平等。镜头直面残疾人运动员的残障部位，不回避也不煽情，大方展现独臂少年游泳、单腿女孩田径竞技、轮椅击剑等拼搏场景，让观众真切感受到他们的昂扬与坚韧，有网友称赞“尊重感满分”“被慢镜头帅哭”。

视频的真实感更打动人心，既有残疾人运动员的赛场风采，也融入了生活化场景：轮椅大叔搀扶老奶奶过马路、公交站台残健互动等画面，生动诠释了残健共融的理念。有轮椅网球运动员反馈“拍出了日常”，网友们也纷纷感叹“真实故事比剧本动人”。

这首歌更精准触达残疾人及其家属的内心。听障儿童妈妈看到手语片段直接“破防”，一位山东网友分享，其听力障碍的弟弟从小历经艰难，而MV既不刻意渲染苦难，也不神化残疾人，只是平静记录他们像常人一样克服困难、热爱生活的模样，凸显了“不是弱者，只是换了一种方式奔跑”的生命力量。
