Altogether four patients with eyesight problems will become the beneficiaries of Cong’s final donation. One of the recipients, a nine-year-old girl, underwent a successful operation on Friday.Since 1994, Cong Fei had been using nearly all his earnings from commercial performances, more than 375,000 US dollars, to help nearly 200 children in poverty-stricken areas pay their tuition fees.
