A blind Wuhan retiree has gained a new lease of life thanks to a diet of dancing and walking.

Xu Zhongchang, 69, lost his sight in 1992 because of a diabetes complication and lived an empty life until he rediscovered a former love.

Xu's wife used to complain about her husband dancing in a park near their home but has now begun to dance with Xu and accompany him on strolls every day.

Xu has become famous in the Baiyushan community for his excellent dance skills and now teaches others how to move.
