A photo of a COVID-19 patient with his doctor by his side as they watched the sunset together in the courtyard of a hospital in Wuhan became a national sensation earlier this year. A volunteer at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University had captured the moment and posted it on social media to share a message of hope.

The 88-year-old man, now known as "the sunset old man," has since recovered and recently spoke to CGTN about his experience with the disease and the unexpected fame.
