Eyewitness: famous singer Yao Beina’s cornea transplant surgery Last Thursday Chinese pop singer Yao Beina offered to donate her #corneas to those in need, only one day before she lost her 4-year-long battle against #breastcancer. One patient in need was 23-year-old Dong, who suffered from conical cornea disease and was almost blind. The 2-hour procedure to restore his vision went underway on Saturday afternoon. A day later Dong was happy to find that his vision had improved from 0.05 to 0.26. Doctors say his eyesight is expected to continue to recover. The pop singer Yao was born on Sept. 26, 1981 in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei. She became well-known to the public after making a series of songs for the hit TV drama “The Legend of Zhenhuan” in 2012, and the mandarin version of “Let It Go” from Disney’s “#Frozen”. Her popularity received a boost from the Chinese reality talent show The Voice of China in 2013. Yao was diagnosed with cancer in May 2011 and died at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital last Friday. Her memorial service will be held Tuesday at Shenzhen Funeral Home.
