Feature: Run, Dad! - Tale of love, strength from China's Team Hoyt

Near the end of a marathon in east China's Jiangsu Province, the remaining runners were eclipsed by the roaring cheers and applause for a slight man pushing a blue tricycle toward the finish line, as if he were the champion.

"Hang in there, Xiaobai! Only 300 meters left! 200 meters! 100 meters! Go!" shouted Luo Shujian, encouraging his 15-year-old son Xiaobai, who, wearing a helmet, joyfully stretched out his arms from the tricycle.

This race marked one of the 70 marathons Luo has run with his son over the past decade.
