Recently, two patients with corneal blindness received a "gift" that allowed them to regain their sight - a pair of corneas donated by Ms. Zheng Cuiying of Taipingshan Village, Luniao Town, Yuhang District.
Born in October 1966, Ms. Zheng Cuiying completed the registration on the Chinese human organ donation platform as early as 2013, volunteering to donate her corneas to people in need after her death. Recalling the situation when Zheng Cuiying signed the agreement, Zhu Qiangrong, the cornea voluntary donation coordinator of the Zhejiang Provincial Blindness Prevention Guidance Center, said: "She felt that she should leave something for the world and wanted to leave her 'light'. ”
Zheng Cuiying signed a cornea donation agreement before her death.
Before her death, Zheng Cuiying has always been enthusiastic about public welfare, and has joined the Zhejiang Volunteer Alliance, often participating in environmental protection and other public welfare activities with volunteers. She feels that this is not enough and hopes to contribute a little more to everyone. Before she got sick, she was concerned about cornea donation and knew the importance of corneas for blind patients, so she made this decision. Zheng Cuiying's husband Zhou Shengxiang said.

In 2016, Zheng Cuiying was diagnosed with breast cancer, but she still fought the disease with an optimistic attitude, achieved good results, and was soon cured and discharged from the hospital. In 2019, Zheng Cuiying had cancer** and metastasized. The following years were a long and arduous journey to seek medical treatment, but the husband and wife were still optimistic and positive in life.
In the final process, Zheng Cuiying did not forget her promise ten years ago, and repeatedly told her husband not to forget the donation. "Although I am saddened, I firmly support her decision. I hope that her heart can arouse more people's attention to cornea donation, so that more lives can be extended. Zhou Shengxiang said, "I will also work hard and live optimistically, so that I can be worthy of her." ”
It is understood that tens of thousands of people in our country lose their sight every year due to eye diseases. Due to the lack of donors, many patients miss the best time. "Here, we also call on all sectors of society to pay more attention to the cause of cornea donation, and send hope to those patients who are eager to see again. Zhu Qiangrong said.
