Pushing through the darkness: The story of Joomart Kokumov

Bishkek resident Joomart Kokumov suffered from multiple eye conditions that made it difficult for him to travel by bus on his own, as he could barely see the numbers on the buses. Through the China-Kyrgyzstan "Express Health-Bright Journey" program, Joomart received free eye surgery that significantly improved his vision. Today, he is able to play goalball, a sport designed for people with visual impairments. And he has a dream: to one day represent Kyrgyzstan on the world stage. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
