25071 steps, about 12.5 kilometers! Mr. Liu, the citizen, was surprised to find that Okawa became the running champion in his WeChat circle of friends. Mr. Liu's surprise is justified because Dachuan is a visually impaired person.
Leading Okawa to become the running champion is a group called “Dark Running Group†to help blind people to exercise and go outdoors. Since the establishment in April this year, they have organized and participated in seven running events in Chengdu, bringing more than 30 people. Visually impaired people participate.
Training is roped 6 people to run with two people
I heard that Okawa became a running champion in Mr. Liu's WeChat circle of friends. Yesterday, Chengdu Business Daily reporter contacted Mr. Liu through Dachuan. Okawa told reporters that he would like to go to Chuanda with his friends at night.
At 7:30 last night, the reporter saw Dachuan and his friend Jiange in the playground of Sichuan University’s Eastern District. This is a routine training for the "Dark Running Group". The "July 7 Running Group" of the East Lake Park's permanent running team has been waiting there. After the warm-up was completed, the members were divided into two groups: the visually-impaired, the front-facing disabled, the side runners and the runners. The configuration in which three people are accompanied by one person is the standard required to ensure the safety of the visually impaired, Okawa said.
When running, they used a 30 cm long running rope to connect. The arm and pace must be the same, and the two talents would not fall. In this way, Okawa and Kenge completed 40 minutes of running, about 3 kilometers. The small seven is accompany volunteers. She said that Okawa and Jiange run and can't see the track. They can only rely on the rope in their hands to sense the direction.
The name "Dark Running Group" was inspired by the "Dialogue in the Dark," a social organization established in Germany in 1988. It was introduced in 2013 by the Jinjiang District Disabled Persons Federation through government procurement services and was completed in Jinjiang District. China's first "dark dialogue" experience hall. The staff of the experience hall are both visually and visually impaired. Okawa is a staff member of the experience hall.
Ascended the summit to challenge himself and he finished the Wenjiang Marathon
Since its establishment in April of this year, the “Dark Run Group†has organized and participated in seven running events in Chengdu. He became the running champion in Mr. Liu's circle of friends. That was a "big move" -- Okawa participated in the Wenjiang Marathon with 10 other visually impaired people. With the help of volunteers, he completed the race, with 25071 steps, about 12.5 kilometers. It takes about 60 minutes.
The turning point for the establishment of the running group was in October last year. Dachuan was invited to participate in the 5-kilometer race of the Dujiangyan Twin Marathon. Going for a run? In the past 12 years, Okawa has never tried it. He said that the advancement in technology has made it possible for visually impaired people to use smartphones and computers through voice software to connect with this society, but fitness hasn't kept pace. "In fact, we also have a desire for health, but it's too difficult to go out and train." â€
Security is not safe? Can't run down? Okawa decided to challenge once. To this end, he turned to Afford. After 90's, Affi was a frequent visitor to the “Dialogue in the Dark†Experience Hall. He became friends with the staff and was also an experienced runner. Afterwards, Okawa began running exercise after being accompanied by Af. Later, with the guidance and help of Ahfu and volunteers, Okawa completed a 5km marathon schedule.
The site visited almost all the parks in Chengdu.
It was also the success that led Aff and others to see the possibility of visually impaired people going out to work out. They wanted to encourage more visually impaired people to come out and join the community.
The idea of ​​setting up a running team is a snap. Familiar with Chengdu's running circle, Affi became the link between the visually impaired and the visually active running team. “Dark Conversation†staff member Liu Jing and colleagues established the WeChat public number, responsible for recruiting visually impaired people and volunteers online. . The "Dark Running Team" was established in this way.
However, organizing an exercise is far more complicated and difficult than they thought. In order to find suitable venues, Affi visited almost all of Chengdu's parks. “In addition to the terrain and running environment, we must also consider the convenience of transportation.†In the end, Donghu Park near the Second Ring Road became a regular exercise venue for the Dark Running Group.
"Coordination with volunteers is more difficult than imagined." Liu Jing told reporters that time is one of the reasons. Nearly 90% of the visually impaired people's work is blind massage. The rest time is not fixed. Most of the volunteers are office workers, so coordinating time is a time-consuming and laborious process. One of the more important reasons is the difference in philosophy. "We hope that volunteers will be able to accompany the concept of equality instead of running."
change
Regained self-confidence by running them
For Okawa and other visually impaired people, the "dark running team" opened a new door for them. “The fun that sports brings is a change from physical to spiritual.†After running for more than half a year, Dachuan has lost ten pounds and hasn’t come back for a cold. More importantly, every training completion and breakthrough made him feel more confident. Auntie, who used to write online novels at home, and 42-year-old florets who also need to be accompanied by their parents, have regained their self-confidence through exercise. Now every time they participate, they all sign up.
Okawa's life was ordinary and ordinary. After graduating from university, he entered a good state-owned enterprise in Chengdu and engaged in sales work. He soon got married. But on the day of 12 years ago, the newspaper that had been turned the night before, could not see any word anymore when he woke up the next morning. After running many hospitals, the doctors gave a consistent diagnosis - retinitis pigmentosa. "The global problem is that this kind of eye disease cannot be cured at present. As the disease progresses, it may lead to blindness."
Now Okawa can only obscure things within one meter. The sudden decline in vision was like a big hand, stunning his calm life like water. Divorce, sickness, successive changes, he feels that he will be out of touch with society.
It is understood that there are nearly 90,000 visually impaired people in Chengdu. Okawa said that after a change, some people became sensitive and unsure, and even chose to keep themselves closed, never going out and not being in touch with society. There are also some setbacks that come from people's lack of understanding of the visually impaired groups. Okawa hopes that the “Dark Running Group†can help visually impaired people to step out of their homes and rebuild their confidence. It also hopes that sight-seeing people can communicate with them through running and establish mutual assistance and equality.
