Feature. Visual impaired runners shine at Tianjin Marathon

In a time of two hours and sevens minutes, Li Zezhou, a 17-year-old visually impaired runner with a second-level disability, crossed the finish line of Sunday's 2024 Tianjin Marathon, to complete his first half-marathon.

"Although I cannot see, the cheers from the crowd filled me with joy. Thanks to the support of my accompanying runners, the race went smoothly," said Li, a student from Tianjin School for Visual Impairment, who participated in the event alongside five other visually impaired runners.
