On April 8th, in Changsha, Hunan province, Xiangzi was born. On the morning of his fourth day of life, while Xiangzi was 
feeding, his nostrils were covered by his 23-year-old mother’s breast. 
It took nearly an hour of emergency resuscitation before the child 
finally recovered a heartbeat, but the child remained in a comatose 
state. After consultations, the child’s chance for recovery was very 
small and he eventually succumbed. The parents of Xiangzi, then made the extraordinary hard decision to donate their boy's corneas. Inside the 
children’s hospital’s neonatal 
intensive care unit, workers for the eye bank successfully extracted Xiangzi’s corneas.
