Xiao Liu hurriedly asked for leave from the company and told his relatives and friends about the good news, but unexpectedly he was questioned: "What's the use of donating this? Did they give money? This must be bad for the body? Don't you? I was deceived!"
Xiao Liu patiently explained the situation to everyone, and also used his online research and what he learned from the staff of the Red Cross to popularize the common sense of hematopoietic stem cell donation.
Even so, some friends are still skeptical of Xiao Liu's move.
