Monument to foreign organ donor unveiled

A monument to Phillip Hancock, an Australian man whose liver, kidneys and corneas were transplanted to help five Chinese patients, was unveiled amid tears of love and gratitude on Sunday at the Chongqing Organ Donation Memorial Park.

On May 9 last year, Hancock, 26, died of complications from diabetes in a hospital in Chongqing. It was his wish to donate his organs.

"I am very proud of him," his father, Peter Hancock, said through tears after he unveiled the monument to his son. "He is a hero to me."
