Every weekend at 6 o'clock in the morning, you can always see a group of running figures on the road by the Lake Champs.
They can't see, but they run forward with determination and fearlessness;They can see, so they have become the strongest backing and the most reliable partner for blind runnersThe oldest of them is over 60 years old, and the youngest is less than 10 years old;They are the "Light Chasers" and "Police Horse Runners", as well as the "Light Chasers" and "Patron Saints".
Origin. He Lian, a staff member of Taixing Disabled Persons' FederationWhen we participated in activities in other places, we happened to learn about the "Rainbow Rope" movement of the Fuzhou Blind Association, which uses ropes as tractions to lead blind people to run. It can not only exercise the body, but also enrich the life of the blind, our hearts instantly ignited the "fighting spirit", others can do it, we can also do it, we also want to form a Taixing blind running group, to help more blind people go out!With the support of departments at all levels, on March 17, 2023, the "Chasing Light Running Group" was officially established.
Not afraid of the dark, hand in hand to chase the light
But. Being the "eyes" of a blind person is not as simple as words.
How to keep them safe.
Carry out professional and systematic training
He Lian thought of the "Police Horse Running Group".
One is based on the municipal public security cadres and police
Bringing together marathon enthusiasts and volunteers from all over the city
Professional team
Deputy Captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Taixing Public Security Bureau.
The leader of the police horse running regiment Ji Haiqi
When the Chasing Light Running Group was established, I admired them very much, and the marathon is a test of perseverance and physical strength for normal runners, who have to put in more effort than others. As a running team led by police officers and participated by volunteers, we have an obligation to do so. Giving them hope, giving them confidence, and letting them feel the joy of success was my first thought, so when Director He Lian proposed this idea, I directly agreed.
Break-in
Since the establishment of the running group, the weekly fixed training is immovable, which helps the blind runners and the accompanying runners to run in the cadence and rhythm of both sides, form a tacit understanding, and reduce risks. Considering the inconvenience of blind runners, volunteers drive their own cars or battery cars to pick up the blind at the gathering place every time they train.
Fu Weiqing and her sister Fu Weihong are both visually impaired.
This year, we joined the light chasing group.
Every weekend at five o'clock in the morning.

Talk about training. Qian Zhenyuan gushed endlessly, with a smile on his face.
Qian Zhenyuan, the head of the light-chasing running groupDuring the training process, we have to adjust our pace according to their current pace, and slowly accompany them to increase the speed, which is really a challenge of patience. How to correct the running posture, how to run in the cadence and speed, we can only sum up the experience in the experiment again and again. And running with you for a race is much more tiring than running by yourself. We should pay attention to whether there are potholes on the road surface, and we are afraid that they will be hit by the crowd, and we must always pay attention to their state, just like our own children, holding them in our mouths for fear of melting, and holding them in our hands for fear of falling.

"Love" is a constant sense of indebtednessHe Lian, a staff member of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation, said: "In many places, we have not done enough. Especially when I went to Zhangjiagang to compete, I felt a little sorry when I saw the blind people on their side wearing more comfortable and professional equipment. "When interviewed, everyone was repeatedly emphasizing: although we are being interviewed now, behind it is the dedication of the team and countless individuals from all walks of life!Running by yourself is the success of one person, but helping the blind to run down is the victory of a group of people. Even though all the chaperones are doing different jobs, they are guarding the same group of people;Even though all blind runners have different experiences, they are running in the same direction!
