Walter Cheung (also known as "Uncle Water") is a senior executive at Hang Seng Bank. Over a decade ago, at the age of forty, he completed his first marathon race. Since then, he has completed sixty marathon races around the world and continues to challenge himself to run at different marathons, determined to "live to old age and run to old age." This book records his observations and experiences in many marathons, amidst the ancient elegance of historical heavyweights such as Kyoto; in bustling cities such as London and New York; and in a lonely desert for hundreds of miles. Every long run is a struggle with himself, overcoming the idea of giving up many times and then resuming running. The book also records interesting anecdotes of marathon runners around the world. Everyone's reasons and backgrounds for running marathons are different, but they all seek their own direction on the run. Uncle Water hopes to encourage readers to do their best to run on the track and on the road of life, towards the unbound sky.

"It didn't change my life, but it changed the entire visually impaired community in Hong Kong, which means it changed the people around me." - Writer and retinitis pigmentosa patient Lu Jingchi "Some people will label you. They won't treat you as a ‘normal’ person, whatever that means. Or they find you capable of doing what normal people can do and think you're credible. That kind of patronizing compliment means that those people cannot see beyond your disability and do not think you're one of them." - Xian Songen, who is studying music therapy in Canada and had retinal detachment due to oxygen therapy in his early years This book records the development of described video in Hong Kong from its inception to the present day, including how the film industry has participated in projects that seem to belong only to the social welfare sector. The author interviewed many described video users and used their stories to show the living conditions of visually impaired people from the 1970s to the present day. Described video relies on volunteer services for a long time. Volunteers have different reasons for their involvement: a sense of purpose, satisfaction, interest, etc., but they all emphasize: it is not a unilateral “help”, but a mutual appreciation and mutual dependence. It is not easy to operate a non-profit niche service. Described video has been favored by the media, business, film industry, and volunteering youth. At first glance, it almost seems like the fantasy realm of "the whole universe united to help you". What is the secret behind it?
