The 2025 Asian Youth Para Games adopts "Born to Rise" as its official motto, reflecting the perseverance and self-transcendence of young athletes—a spirit that resonates deeply with Chery's "Little Grass House" ethos of "facing challenges and never giving up." As Zhu Shaodong noted at the ceremony: "From our humble beginnings in Wuhu in 1997 to ranking 233rd on the Fortune Global 500 in 2025, this is Chery's RISE. In the competitions ahead, I look forward to witnessing the RISE of every young athlete." With 24 years of global commitment and operations across 120 countries and regions, Chery's partnership with the Games reflects its commitment to ESG principles and its global philosophy of "In somewhere, For somewhere, Be somewhere." It also aims to promote equality and inclusion, empowering young athletes to shine on a level playing field worldwide.

This partnership is a natural outcome of Chery's ongoing collaboration with the Asian para-sports community. Previously, Chery worked with the Kazakhstan Paralympic Committee to organize children’s sports events, encouraging children to experience the power of self-transcendence and laying the groundwork for international para-sports initiatives. Chery also supported the successful hosting of the General Assembly of Asian Paralympic Committee, where both sides affirmed their shared commitment to "pushing limits." During this period, Tarek Souei, CEO of the Asian Paralympic Committee, attended Chery Brand User Summit and visited the company's headquarters, expressing strong approval of Chery's technological capabilities and social responsibility efforts—paving the way for this AYPG partnership.
Chery's technological expertise provides solid support for advancing sports in Asia. Through sustained investment in core R&D and a global innovation network, Chery has built deep technical reserves and achieved breakthroughs in key areas. These capabilities not only drive product advancement but can also be adapted to support event operations and athlete training, offering reliable technological backing for young athletes as they strive for excellence.
（With CHERY, Born to Rise）
The theme "With CHERY, Born to Rise!" embodies the shared spirit of Chery and the Games. From achieving independent breakthroughs in core technology to leading China's passenger vehicle exports for 22 consecutive years and entering the Fortune Global 500, Chery has consistently pursued "continuous breakthrough." The Asian Youth Para Games, as a platform for young athletes to realize their potential, vividly embodies the idea of "Born to Rise." This shared ethos extends to Chery's ESG practices—from partnering with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to protect ecosystems, to renewing cooperation with UNICEF in support of global education, Chery consistently aligns growth with responsibility, connecting corporate progress to social value.
Chery has now formed a dedicated team to coordinate global resources in preparation for the Games. As the 2025 Asian Youth Para Games is approaching, Chery will bring its technological expertise and sense of responsibility to the sporting stage, ensuring that the belief of "With CHERY, Born to Rise!" inspires every young athlete on their journey.
