Masking the miracle of recovery

Little Xiangxiang fiddles with the medical mask protecting his burns while playing in Fenyang city, North China's Shanxi province, June 20, 2011. The six-year-old was disfigured in a courtyard straw fire in November, and nearly lost vision in his right eye as well as the ability to move his finger. To help with his recovery from skin-graft surgery, Xiangxiang has to wear the mask the majority of the time. [Photo/CFP]
