So on Sunday, Qian wore his military uniform, travelling an hour away from his home to Suzhou, where he was greeted by soldiers at an army base. Six tanks waited for his inspection, reported China Daily.

Qian was on the frontline in Myanmar in WWII fighting against Japan. He lost his sight in the line of duty when he was 24.
He attended military school, and also studied at Chongqing's Ground Force Mechanization Institute, where he spent time with armoured vehicles.
After his visit to the army base, he was quoted by Beijing Youth Dailysaying he wishes to donate his body to medical research. "This may be the last thing I can do for my country," he said.
