Chinese woman donates her eyes in dying wish to see long-lost son again

A dying woman in central China offered her corneas for transplant in the hope of gazing on her son from beyond the grave more than two decades after he went missing, according to a local newspaper report.

Wang Shiqun, from Yibin city in Sichuan province, died last week aged 55 after battling breast cancer for almost a decade. She entrusted her younger sister to ensure her corneas were given to a donor so that she could once more see her son if he ever came home, Chengdu Economic Daily reported on Thursday.
