Description
Slicing their oars through the dark-green waters of a Hong Kong river, a dragon boat team of visually impaired rowers paddled in unison as their coach yelled out instructions.
The Darkness Fighters are Hong Kong's only team that pairs visually impaired people with sighted volunteers to compete in the annual Dragon Boat Festival, which will take place on Monday.
Samrid Wongchan, a 62-year-old team member who is blind, said the team trains like many rowers on the Shing Mun river, which cuts through the city's New Territories. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
