Listen to blood donation stories and feel the kindness of mortals

Voluntary blood donation is the relay of life and the dawn of life. Every unpaid blood donor is respected and appreciated. Today, let us approach several representatives of unpaid blood donors who have donated more than 200 times, listen to their blood donation stories, and feel their selfless love.

Liu Hangqing: Treat voluntary blood donation as a hobby

Character introduction:

Male, 58 years old, 23 years of unpaid blood donation. As of May 31, he had donated whole blood 8 times and collected platelets 219 times, with a total blood donation of 120,400 ml.

Liu Hangqing’s mother is a nurse. Under her guidance, Liu Hangqing has a correct understanding of voluntary blood donation. He also felt that people should make contributions to the society before they could come to this world in vain, so he took the initiative to donate blood for free.

In October 1999, Liu Hangqing started his blood donation journey on the streets of Guangzhou. In August 2001, the blood donation car drove to the streets of Kaiping for the first time. At this time, Liu Hangqing, who had returned to work in Kaiping, took the initiative to get on the blood donation car and became the first person to donate blood on the street in Kaiping.

Liu Hangqing said: “After returning to Kaiping from Guangzhou, I have been looking for a blood donation point. When I saw the blood donation car on the street, I was very excited.” Liu Hangqing experienced the same mood twice later, once in 2011 and once in 2011. It is 2012.

In 2011, Kaiping was planning to build a blood donation house. Under the strong suggestion of several blood donation volunteers including Liu Hangqing, the blood donation house was equipped with a blood separator. Since then, Liu Hangqing no longer has to go to the blood station in downtown Jiangmen to donate platelets by machine.

Liu Hangqing told reporters that he started donating platelets by machine in 2005. At that time, Kaiping was not able to carry out mechanical platelet collection, so he could only go to the blood station in downtown Jiangmen, and a round trip would take at least six or seven hours. Even so, Liu Hangqing has not stopped donating platelets by machine.

In 2012, the relevant departments stipulated that many blood donors who had no blood donation reaction in the past and met the requirements of health examination voluntarily requested to donate blood again, and the age could be extended to 60 years old. After hearing the news, Liu Hangqing was excited for a while. He said, “It feels like a blessing from God to be able to dedicate another 5 years!”

Now, Liu Hangqing is 58 years old. He said with emotion that he has been donating blood for less than two years. For 23 years, he has made voluntary blood donation a hobby, and has persevered to overcome difficulties.

For a period of time, due to uncontrolled diet and lack of exercise, Liu Hangqing gained a lot of weight, and when he donated blood, he was unsuccessful because of high blood pressure. “Standing with friends, my belly is obviously much bigger.” Liu Hangqing said, for this reason, he forced himself to exercise and adjust his diet. After losing weight, various indicators returned to normal.

He didn’t like sports before, but now he insists on exercising and donating blood has made him healthy. Liu Hangqing said: “When a person likes to benefit himself and others, why not do it.”

Li Guoqiang: strive to donate blood until the age of 60

Character introduction:

Male, 55 years old, 22 years of unpaid blood donation. As of May 31, he had donated 8 whole blood and 228 machine-collected platelets, with a total blood donation of 121,000 ml.

Those who are familiar with Li Guoqiang know that he is a “philanthropist”. He insisted on participating in unpaid blood donation for 22 years, with a total blood donation of 121,000 ml, equivalent to the whole body blood volume of 24 adults.

In the past 22 years, Li Guoqiang has a stack of blood donation certificates, and has won many honorary titles such as the National and Provincial Free Blood Donation Contribution Award and Promotion Award.

Talking about the original intention of donating blood, Li Guoqiang said that he did not think too much, but just felt that he could do something beneficial to others and society within his ability. “But who would have thought that it would get out of hand, and it would become a habit over time and stick to it.” He said that the voluntary blood donation made him happy.

Over the years, Li Guoqiang’s blood donation frequency is generally 1-2 times a month. The interval between donating platelets is 14 days. He often counts the interval, and when the time is up, he goes to donate the machine to collect platelets.

In Li Guoqiang’s view, blood is the source of life, especially for those who are in danger of life and in urgent need of blood transfusion. Facing the misunderstanding of voluntary blood donation by friends around him, Li Guoqiang often said that platelets have a life cycle and can be regenerated. The life cycle of platelets is 7 to 10 days. Every day the same number of platelets die and the same number of platelets regenerates. Therefore, scientific donation will not affect the health of the donor.

For 22 years, Li Guoqiang’s blood donation has been a long road, but he never thought of ending this move. In the staff’s popular science and life relays, he has a more specific understanding of donating platelets to save people, and also strengthened his determination to donate blood.

“As an ordinary person, my contribution to society is limited. Donating blood is my modest contribution to society. As long as my body allows me, I will stick to it.” Li Guoqiang, 55, said that his goal is to strive to donate to 60 years old.

Huang Jianjian: Stay firm and keep going

Character introduction:

Male, 54 years old, 17 years of unpaid blood donation. As of May 31, he had donated whole blood 6 times and collected platelets 226 times, with a total blood donation of 109,500 ml.

Huang Jianjian was influenced by friends when he started donating blood. In the past 17 years, from donating whole blood to donating machine-collected platelets, it is not only the age that has grown with it, but also the accumulated blood donation and the people who have helped. Huang Jianqiang donated nearly 110,000 ml of blood, which is equivalent to the whole body blood volume of 22 normal adults.

Donated blood 232 times, with a total amount of 109,500 ml… Although many people can’t achieve these figures, Huang Jianjian believes that this is a very ordinary thing, and there is nothing to show off. He just tried his best to help others.

When asked why he insisted on donating blood for free. Huang Jianjian said with emotion: “Blood cannot be made artificially, it can only be donated by us. If everyone doesn’t donate blood, the patient’s blood will be useless.”

Once, Huang Jianjian was at work when he suddenly received a call from the blood station in the city center, saying that there was a patient who needed urgent use of platelets. He agreed without much thought, and enthusiastically stretched out his arm to donate 2 bags of platelets. It was in such cases that Huang Jianjian realized the importance of donating blood for free.

At the beginning, his wife and daughter were also worried about whether blood donation would affect Huang Jianqiang’s body, but through his repeated explanations and the fact that he was healthy after donating blood, the family gradually changed their views.

“Don’t look at me at 54 years old this year, but I’m still in good health. I can do whatever I have to do every time I donate. It doesn’t affect me at all.” Huang Jianjian said. In the matter of voluntary blood donation, some people told him to pay attention to his body, some people admired his kindness, but some people questioned him. In this regard, Huang Jianjian said: “I don’t care what others think, it’s my own business, I will strengthen my original intention and keep going!”

Gan Quemin: Warm life with love

Character introduction:

Male, 51 years old, 22 years of unpaid blood donation. As of May 31, he had donated whole blood 3 times and collected platelets 219 times, with a total blood donation of 122,800 ml.

Speaking of voluntary blood donation, Gan Quemin said: “The first blood donation was in 2000.” At that time, he often saw public service advertisements for voluntary blood donation on the streets of Guangzhou. When he was shopping, he saw a blood donation car parked on the side of the road, so he went up to donate blood. After coming to work in Jiangmen, Gan Quemin even regarded voluntary blood donation as a “routine action”. In the past 22 years, he has successively won the Guangdong Province 2019-2020 Provincial Voluntary Blood Donation Promotion Award, the 2017-2018 Guangdong Provincial Voluntary Blood Donation Contribution Award, and the 2014-2015 National Voluntary Blood Donation Award.

Gan Quemin said: “A bag of blood is not only a love, but also a symbol of hope and light. Blood cannot be made artificially, it can only be donated by people. Donating blood can not only help others, but also promote the body’s metabolism.”

What is donated is blood, what is passed is love, and what is saved is life. In the past 22 years, from the first donation of whole blood to the first donation of machine-collected platelets, every time I received a blood emergency text message from the blood station in the city center, as long as the patient needed it, Gan Quemin would come to the blood station in the city center without hesitation. Blood donation. “Every time I get a text message that blood has been used to help a patient, I feel a sense of happiness and pride,” he said.

Not only did he insist on voluntary blood donation, but Gan Quemin also led his family, colleagues and friends to participate in voluntary blood donation. Under his inspiration, the eldest son participated in voluntary blood donation. He did not forget to participate in voluntary blood donation when he was traveling abroad or working on errands. Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhuhai and other places have his blood donation footprints. “Donating blood is like eating. Donate when it’s time.” Gan Quemin said.

“The blood donated by myself can save the lives of others. This is the biggest motivation for me to donate blood. As long as my body allows me, I will continue to persevere.” Now 51-year-old Gan Quemin said that voluntary blood donation is to convey love and save lives. noble social welfare undertakings. I hope that more and more people can join the team of voluntary blood donation, give love and save lives together.

Li Jianhui: Meaningful things must persist

Character introduction:

Male, 46 years old, 22 years of unpaid blood donation. As of May 31, he had donated whole blood 7 times and collected platelets 215 times, with a total blood donation of 122,800 ml.

Donating blood is a very common but meaningful thing for 46-year-old Li Jianhui. Donating blood has become a part of life, he said.

In 1999, he took the initiative to respond to the call of the organization to donate blood, and made the decision to donate blood for the first time in his life. At that time, the downtown blood station gave each of them a ballpoint pen with the words “Jiangmen downtown blood station” and the phone number on the pen, and Li Jianhui kept the pen, “I thought it was very meaningful and worthwhile at the time. Memorial, so I have been reluctant to use it and keep it until now.”

Since then, Li Jianhui has insisted on donating blood. Twenty-two years later, whenever he has time, he will go to the blood station in the city center to “check in” and become a “regular visitor” here. “For those who urgently need blood, blood is life, and I hope to help those in need.” Li Jianhui told reporters that earlier, one of his colleagues unfortunately suffered from leukemia and needed platelet transfusions. After learning about it, he went directly to donate without hesitation. Although his colleagues did not use his platelets in the end, it made him realize the meaning of voluntary blood donation – saving more lives!

In order to donate blood normally, Li Jianhui has always maintained a good diet and living habits, eating as little fried and greasy things as possible, and will go hiking in his spare time. He said: “If you have a strong body, you can better help others.”

At the same time, Li Jianhui also actively encouraged people around him to join the ranks of voluntary blood donation. His older brother, like him, is a loyal follower of unpaid blood donation and has been donating blood for many years. “Donating blood has brought us a lot of happiness, and the two brothers have persevered.” Li Jianhui said.

In the past 22 years, Li Jianhui has won many honors, big and small: the 2014-2015 National Voluntary Blood Donation Prize, the 2016-2017 National Voluntary Blood Donation Prize, and the 2018-2019 National Voluntary Blood Donation Prize… He said frankly, It’s not easy to stick to one thing for 22 years, but something meaningful must stick to it and make it a habit.

Wu Jierong: Being able to help others is a happy thing

Character introduction:

Male, 46 years old, 23 years of unpaid blood donation. As of May 31, he had donated whole blood 4 times and collected platelets 227 times, with a total blood donation of 96,200 ml.

“The blood you donated has passed the test and has been sent to a hospital for use.” Wu Jierong said that after each blood donation, he saw the feedback text message sent by the central blood station, and the thought of his own blood being injected into someone else’s body could save other people’s lives. Life is very happy.

Wu Jierong has insisted on donating blood for 23 years. Recalling his first blood donation, he admitted that he was influenced by Hong Kong artists: “In the past, PSAs for voluntary blood donation were often broadcast on TV, and many Hong Kong artists also endorsed them, so I wanted to show love.” After the donation, he didn’t feel bad about his body. What impact, but more pride and joy. He felt that being able to help others was a very pleasant thing, and he persisted until today.

At the beginning, Wu Jierong still donated whole blood. Later, under the popularization of the staff of the blood station in the city center, he began to donate machine-collected platelets. “Some patients with blood diseases mainly lack platelets, and platelet transfusion is more targeted.” He said that when he first donated platelets collected by a machine, he was a little nervous, so that the alarm of the machine often sounded. “The louder it got, the more nervous I got, and the louder it got, the more frequent it sounded.”

Now, Wu Jierong is no longer nervous, but has a sense of intimacy. He goes to the blood bank in the city center once or twice a month, and blood donation has become a monthly “fixed action” for him. “Just like going to work, come on time.” He said with a smile, and he was very familiar with the staff and the volunteers who also often came to donate blood.

In the past 23 years, Wu Jierong has won 4 national voluntary blood donation donation awards, but he does not attach great importance to the honor. He said: “Donating blood makes me happy and helps others, so I will do it.” The “retirement” age for voluntary blood donation is 60. For 23 years, Wu Jierong has not thought about quitting the ranks of voluntary blood donation, his small goal is to persist until “retirement”.
