A dragon boat team consisting of visually impaired people from Hong Kong has been invited to take part in an international dragon boat racing event in Dongguan, Guangdong province, and their indomitable spirit in sports has earned them the encouragement and applause of the on-site audience.

The team has overcome physical and psychological barriers to compete with over 2,000 athletes from 60 dragon boat teams from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and overseas countries and regions, the event organizers said.
