Yu Wenfeng underwent the surgery 24 years ago at the hospital after being diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. I'm lucky that I got the second life thanks to the help of the doctors, Yu said. I have felt quite good after the operation and never doubted that I was any different from a healthy person.
