Not afraid to run blind

He has completed 14 full marathons in two years and Yan Wei, a visually-impaired runner, just wants to keep going. Fang Aiqing reports.

Yan Wei, a 30-year-old blind man from Gaomi, Shandong province, is thrilled. He has just covered the 42.2-kilometer distance in a marathon in Longkou, a coastal city in Shandong province, on Sunday, beating his personal record, with a new time of 3 hours, 15 minutes and 58 seconds.

While running, he heard the sound of sea as the race route hugged the coast.
