CHINA-GUIZHOU-GUIYANG-"FISH MINT" BAND (CN)

(220303) -- GUIYANG, March 3, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Guitarist Yang Zhi (L) and bassist Peng Wanhai practice in Guiyang, southwest China's Guizhou Province, March 1, 2022. A band named "Fish Mint" consists of three massage therapists and a delivery man who were all born in the 1990s. Yet the delivery man is the only one who could see while the rest are with visual impairment. The members do their regular work during the day and gather around to play music in the band in the evening. The band is named after fish mint, as the members think they bear a resemblance to it. Fish mint, the leaf vegetable favored by the local people in southwest China's Guizhou Province, is a plant growing in shady environment. The band players with disabilities see themselves resembling this particular plant--living in darkness, but that never dampens their passion for chasing light. With the opening of the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games just around the corner, the band composed a song for the Games to cheer for the athle
