Professor Song Weitao, who is participating in the medical team for the second time, traveled to Gannan in 2023 to perform surgery on an 89-year-old Tibetan elderly man suffering from eye disease and help her regain her sight. Knowing that he would go with the team as a manager, the ophthalmology colleagues of Gannan Prefecture People's Hospital not only "arranged" him to do ward rounds and surgical teaching tasks. At the request of the "old patient", Professor Song Weitao was "agreed" to conduct a follow-up consultation for her.
