Through a veteran's eyes: A bond rekindled aboard the Peace Ark

01:34

Among the thousands treated aboard the Chinese hospital ship Peace Ark, some patients carry a personal history with China. One of them is Mfoutou Antoine, a military veteran from the Republic of Congo. In the 1970s, he was among a batch of military students who visited China. Fifty years later, aboard the Peace Ark, Antoine received life-changing eye surgery from Chinese ophthalmologist Gao Yu, marking a story of renewed vision across generations and continents. Nearly a year after the operation, the doctor and patient reunited online.
