China News Service, Huzhou, May 19 (Shi Zinan, Mao Guowang, He Weiwei) Looking at the stacks of blood donation certificates and certificates of honor, Zhu Genfang, a villager in Xiaoyangshan Village, Daixi Town, Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, was deeply moved.

  In Xiaoyangshan Village, as long as "Blood Donation Brother" is mentioned, almost no one knows it.

Since 2005, Zhu Genfang has donated a total of 29 blood, including 15 whole blood, 14 platelets and 19 treatments. The cumulative blood donation amounts to 12,400 ml, which is equivalent to three times the total blood of his whole body.

  In the past 17 years, Zhu Genfang has successively won the National Unpaid Blood Donation Award 2 times, 1 time the National Unpaid Blood Donation Award Silver Award, and became the winner of the Jiang Cup Award for Unpaid Blood Donation in Zhejiang Province.

Donating blood without compensation has been regarded as a duty and mission by him.

  Talking about the original intention of donating blood, Zhu Genfang laughed and talked about it only by accident.

One day in 2005, when Zhu Genfang and his family were shopping in downtown Huzhou, they found an unpaid blood donation station and donated 400 ml of whole blood for the first time. "When I got the unpaid blood donation certificate, I thought that my blood could save others. I’m very excited about my life."

  In order to help more patients who need blood, Zhu Genfang has set a rule for himself since then, “As long as you are healthy and meet the blood donation standards, you will continue to donate blood.” Later, Zhu Genfang He became a "frequent visitor" at the blood station in the center of Huzhou. As long as the blood donation interval expires, he can be seen at the blood station.

  With the increase in the number of blood donations, Zhu Genfang has a better understanding of blood donation knowledge.

  “I only knew about blood donation before. I didn’t expect that there is so much knowledge in donating blood. One time, the doctor said that component blood is more scarce than whole blood, and the treatment of patients is more targeted. My blood viscosity, blood lipid content, red blood cells The content meets the requirements, and whole blood can only be donated every 6 months, and platelets can be donated every month." Since then, Zhu Genfang has not only donated whole blood, but also started donating platelets.

  Because blood donation places high requirements on volunteers' physical conditions, in order to ensure that his body can meet the requirements of blood donation at any time, Zhu Genfang insists on exercising, strictly controlling daily work and rest, balancing nutrition, and preparing for blood donation at any time.

As long as a phone call from the blood donation station, he immediately went to the blood donation station unimpededly and overcoming all difficulties, deeply understanding the urgent needs of medical staff and patients for blood.

  In the past 17 years, "As long as you want, I will donate" has become Zhu Genfang's most frequent statement to the staff of blood donation stations.

Now 58 years old, he said that he will stick to it until he can no longer contribute.

  Zhu Genfang's charity has not only been affirmed and praised by the villagers, but also led a group of people around to participate in the team of free blood donations.

Every time he comes back from the blood station, he will share his blood donation experience, blood use and the joy of donating blood to save others to his family and friends.

  Under the influence of Zhu Genfang, his sons and nephews all went from being incomprehensible to understanding, and finally joined the blood donation team together.

The figures that regularly appeared at the blood donation station also changed from one to two, three...

  "Father is just an ordinary farmer, but he has been doing his best to contribute to the society with love and feelings for more than ten years. In my opinion, these trivial and meaningful little things that he does are all shining. With the extraordinary light of dedication." Zhu Mingxiang, the son of Zhu Genfang, said.
