Watching from afar

Qian Dehui, a military medical worker who was sent in October to Liberia to help deal with the Ebola outbreak, watches his son through a cellphone video camera after his wife gave birth to the boy in Chongqing on Saturday.

"It is a lifetime regret not to be there when the little guy was born, but we soldiers are meant to be stationed on the front line," Qian said.
