China News Service, Zhengzhou, July 14th (Reporter Han Zhangyun correspondent Wen Meiying Zhang Yu) On July 14th, Zhengzhou volunteer Mei Gaofeng and Luohe volunteer Li Yue donated hematopoietic stem cells on the same day in Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. Their charity is for Save the lives of two young children under 3 years old.
Mei Fengfeng, 39, is an ordinary worker in a food company in Zhengzhou and a blood donor who is enthusiastic about public welfare. To date, Mei Fengfeng has donated blood more than 40 times.
Speaking of the original intention of blood donation, the simple and kind Mei Gaofeng said that he does not seek fame and fortune, "I only hope that I can do what I can to contribute to society, even if the strength is small, perseverance can create miracles."
In January 2018, during an unpaid blood donation event, Mei Gaofeng learned about the donation of hematopoietic stem cells. He did not hesitate to choose to join the Chinese bone marrow bank, hoping to one day be able to successfully match the type to save the disease.
On March 25 this year, Mei Gaofeng accidentally received a call from the Zhengzhou Red Cross Society and learned that he had successfully matched with a leukemia patient. Although the new coronary pneumonia epidemic was still raging at the time, he did not hesitate to agree to donate: "Since I chose to enter the warehouse at that time, I have never thought about going back."

With the support of his family and the active cooperation of Mei Gaofeng, he successfully passed the high-resolution matching and physical examination processes in the shortest time, until he successfully donated hematopoietic stem cells on July 14, becoming the 307th hematopoietic stem cell donor in Zhengzhou , Mei Gaofeng also fulfilled his wish to save others, sending hope of rebirth for a young leukemia child.
Li Yue, who donated hematopoietic stem cells on the same day as Mei Gaofeng, lives in Luohe, is a college student studying in Wuhan, 22 years old this year.
In June 2018, when participating in unpaid blood donation, Li Yue listened to volunteers explaining the knowledge of hematopoietic stem cell donation, and joined the Chinese bone marrow bank as a volunteer without hesitation.
At the end of 2018, Li Yue knew from the local Red Cross that he had successfully typed with a young child, and he did not hesitate to agree to donate.
"I knew clearly that hematopoietic stem cell donation can save people when I enter the library. Since the match is successful, I must donate." Li Yue told reporters that at first his parents were a little worried or even disagree, but he patiently communicated with his parents. "Tell your parents knowledge and examples, saying that successful donation of hematopoietic stem cells is not a case or two. So many people donated and it was fine." In the end, the parents respected his choice.
This time Li Yue went to Zhengzhou to donate hematopoietic stem cells. His parents accompanied him throughout the journey and supported his son with practical actions.
In fact, due to the epidemic situation and the patient's physical condition, Li Yue's donation time was repeatedly delayed, but Li Yue did not hesitate.
"From the moment I decided to join the Chinese bone marrow bank, I was ready to help a child. I think it is a kind of luck and a kind of fate. The patient needs it and I can do it at any time." For the donation of hematopoietic stem cells this time, Li Yue has been waiting for a long time, and finally realized his wish to join the Chinese bone marrow bank.
According to data from the Red Cross Society of Henan Province, Mei Gaofeng and Li Yue are the 878th and 879th unrelated blood stem cell donors in Henan Province, respectively. (Finish)
