Tao Yong, Director of the ophthalmology department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital who suffered hand and head injuries in January, made a live-streaming of eye-care knowledge on June 6, National Eye Caring Day.

On January 20, he was attacked by a knife-wielding former patient, who broke his left hand and caused severe skull trauma. The attacker was arrested and a police investigation is ongoing.

The 40-year-old Tao, who's been back to work since a month ago, is treating outpatients once again. He started work in the hospital in 2007 and has performed more than 15,000 eye operations.

However, he may never be able to perform precision eye surgery again. The intrepid eye doctor is now planning for academic research and popularization of medical knowledge apart from his regular outpatient service. And despite his traumatic experience, he is encouraging youngsters to pursue a career in medicine to heal the wounded and help the sick.
