Several Chinese runners were not far from the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday when two deadly blasts turned excitement and cheers into confusion.

"I heard the explosion and saw the smoke near the finish line and shortly, within seconds, another one went off about 100 meters away," recalled Zhu Wenming, who ran the marathon with a team from Chinese real estate developer Vanke Co.

The two blasts killed at least three people, including an 8-year-old child, and injured at least 170, many critically.

Zhu heard the first explosion about two minutes after he crossed the finish line.

"A woman near me immediately kneeled down and started crying. It was a bit chaotic," the 31-year-old added.

Police had not identified any suspects by press time.

Monday's Boston Marathon attracted some 27,000 runners from around the world - including a group of 15 from Vanke.

As they were getting ready for the race in the morning, Vanke runners - none of whom are professional marathon runners - told China Daily they wanted to challenge themselves by participating.

The Shenzhen-based residential developer was also one of the sponsors of this year's marathon.

"I wasn't aware of what happened when the first explosion occurred, and I realized it was a planned incident after the second one went off," said Wang Shi, chairman of Vanke, who led the team to the Boston Marathon.

Wang, who sat in the VIP box across the street from the explosions, described the "calm and good order" as police were evacuating spectators - reported to number around 500,000.

"Only when we returned to the hotel and watched the TV did we see how serious the situation was," said Wang, adding he was relieved to see everyone in his group was OK.

Among the 15 Vanke runners, seven of them made it to the finish line before the explosions happened.

Wei Zhigang, 42, was the first Vanke runner to pass the finish line, which was about 10 meters from where the first bomb exploded.

After a brief break at his hotel near Boylston Street, he couldn't return to the marathon area.

"I was shocked and of course worried about my teammates. Most of them were still in the race," recalled Wei.

Chen Weiwen, Vanke's marathon team leader, said he admired American people's composure while facing a situation like this.

"As a foreign visitor, I saw the American spirit and the professionalism of organizers and policemen who tried to control the situation and protect people when the explosions happened," Chen said.

Jin Feibao, 49, another Vanke runner, was about 1 km from the finish line when the explosions happened. He and his fellow runners were asked to stop and stay on the sidelines. "Although I couldn't finish the marathon, I learned a real life lesson from this event," Jin said.

"You can tell how powerful this nation is and how strong the people are," Jin said, adding he saw unity from the runners, spectators and locals.

"Nearby residents gave us help - food, water and clothes - as we were wearing very little during the race. They helped in every way they could, I was very moved," said Jin, showing a little regret that he couldn't finish his 10th marathon.

"But I will come back and run the Chicago one," he said.

Vanke's Wang - who started studying at Harvard in 2011 - said they will continue to support the Boston Marathon.

"It was very disturbing to realize someone planned such a thing during a sports event," said Wang.

"But I was very moved to see how people helped one another in the chaos. No matter who is behind this, Boston and the American people won't be defeated by this evil," he said.
