Profile:Singer's Cornea Donation
(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

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 breast cancer.
上周四中国流行歌手姚贝娜捐献了自己的眼角膜,第二天病逝,结束了与乳腺癌四年的抗争。

One patient in need was 23-year-old Dong, who suffered from conical cornea disease and was almost blind(失明). The 2-hour procedure to restore(恢复) his vision(视力) went underway on Saturday afternoon. A day later Dong was happy to find that his vision had improved(提高) from 0.05 to 0.26. Doctors say his eyesight is expected to(有望) continue to recover.

The pop singer(流行歌手) Yao was born on Sept. 26, 1981 in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei. She became well-known to the public(被公众熟知) after making a series of songs for the hit TV drama(热播电视剧) “The Legend of Zhenhuan” in 2012, and the mandarin version(中文版本) of "Let It Go"(随它吧 from Disney' s "Frozen".    

Her popularity received a boost from the Chinese reality talent show(真人秀) "The Voice of China"(中国好声音) in 2013. Yao was diagnosed with(被诊断为) cancer in May 2011 and died at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital last Friday. Her memorial service(追悼会) will be held Tuesday at Shenzhen Funeral Home(殡仪馆).
