Cataract patients take a rest after receiving the surgeries on the "Lifeline Express", a mobile hospital set up on a train, in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, June 17, 2017. The express, set up in 1997, provides free cataract surgeries for those patients in need, especially for poor residents suffering the disease in vast rural areas.
