DAR ES SALAAM, June 23 (Xinhua) -- On Friday morning, more than 300 people gathered in solemn silence at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, standing side by side to bid farewell to Zhang Junqiao, the leader of the 27th Chinese medical team in Tanzania, who lost his life while saving a drowning person.
Zhang died on June 15, Father's Day, while rescuing a drowning woman off the coast of Dar es Salaam. Witness photos showed him holding her above water and helping her into a life jacket before disappearing beneath the waves. Despite colleagues' efforts to save him, Zhang could not be revived.
