A Wenzhou native with Italian citizenship who was severely injured in the July 23 high-speed train crash underwent critical surgery on Tuesday morning at a hospital in Shanghai.
Giovanni Pan, a 22-year-old amateur boxer, had a two-hour operation on his neck, said Shao Xiaolan, a nurse in charge of his ward in Shanghai Changzheng Hospital.
Pan has undergone treatment since the train crash. He was hospitalized at Wenzhou People's No 2 Hospital before he was transferred to the Shanghai hospital on Oct 21.
"The surgery went quite smooth and turned out successful," said a doctor in charge of Pan's recovery who identified himself only by his surname Mao.
Mao said Pan was conscious after the surgery, and was in stable condition by the afternoon.
Pan suffered severe injuries to his neck, spine and lungs in the collision, which killed 40 people, including his girlfriend, Assunta Liguori, an Italian student.
Pan and his girlfriend had dated for about one year before the accident. They were students at Italy's University of Napoli, where Pan majors in Chinese and English. Liguori was in an Oriental Studies program.
The couple was sitting in the front carriage of train D301 when it crashed into D3115. Four carriages, including theirs, derailed.
They were going to Wenzhou to visit Pan's grandparents who funded the young couple's trip.
Pan was still deeply saddened by his girlfriend's death, Shao said.
His family said it would not deal with compensation issues before Pan recovered.
The Ministry of Railways said a 915,000 yuan ($143,800) compensation payment was given to each victim of the train crash, and Liguori's family would receive the same sum.
