Wang Xueting and her father went for a run at Chengdu Qinglong Lake Wetland Park.
At 02:02, an obstacle appeared ahead, and Wang Xueting gently tightened the running rope towards her side.
Wang Kequan, 51 years old this year, has suffered from congenital retinitis pigmentosa and his vision has been deteriorating in recent years.
I bought a treadmill online and asked him to slowly run on it, but he gave up after only a few steps.
The father at the end of the rope immediately felt the signal and quickly prepared for the turn…
Due to her love for running and the belief that exercise can bring happiness to people, Wang Xueting came up with the idea of taking her father to run.
Due to being invisible, he was once very inferiority complex, and even locked himself up at home for a period of time without going out or seeing anyone.
During these days of running with my father, there have been more topics between the two, deepening their understanding of each other.
If it weren’t for the small running rope between the two, it would be difficult to believe that her father was a visually impaired person.
During the running process, not only did my father become more outgoing, but the relationship between my father and daughter also improved.
“Wang Xueting said, because her father didn’t have a foundation in sports and couldn’t see it for a long time, she didn’t try it for long and felt like” I can’t do it myself “.
Xinhua News Agency reporter Dong Xiaohong took a photo of Wang Kequan participating in a running group activity.
Unable to give up so easily, Wang Xueting insisted on running with her father every day, running at home for a period of time, then running near the river, and then running on her school playground…
In running, my daughter is my eye, “my father Wang Kequan said with a smile.
Wang Xueting ran with her father in the nearby wetland park.
My body is getting better, my blood pressure has dropped, and when I run, I don’t think being invisible is that important anymore, “he said.
Now, both father and daughter have joined the “Dark Running Troupe” for visually impaired people running in Chengdu.
At first, it was quite difficult.
At first, he was a bit scared, but later he came into contact with more and more people with visual impairments like him, and he also relaxed a lot

Under her escort, Wang Kequan went from being able to run only a few kilometers to being able to run over 20 kilometers, and the whole person became happy.
Gradually, Wang Kequan fell in love with the feeling of running.
In order to accompany her father for a longer time, Wang Xueting also went specifically to learn the relevant skills of accompanying him in running.
Using a running rope to run with my father is not only to make him healthier, but also to regain his confidence.
My father has always been strong, and I have to work hard with him, “said Wang Xueting.
Now he only has a slight sense of light left.
