People in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region gathered to pay tribute to organ and body donors at a regional memorial park on Wednesday.

During the activity, called Meaning of Life, people bid farewell to an 8-year-old girl whose parents had donated her corneas.

"We'd like to help those who are in need to see the world, which is also another way for our daughter to continue her life," the girl's father said.

"The little girl is so great," said Qiao Xinmin, 63, unable to hold back his tears. "Donating my body is the last thing I can do for our country."

Qiao has been volunteering in the body and organ donation field for nearly two decades.
