　　In the summer of early June, 58-year-old Zhang Jianhua was pushed from the intensive care unit (ICU) into the operating room at Linfen Central Hospital in Shanxi Province.

The patient was admitted to the hospital due to cerebral hemorrhage, and despite multiple treatments, he was still unable to recover.

The family finally made a difficult choice: donate the organs of the deceased.

　　More than an hour later, under the witness of volunteers from the Red Cross Society of Linfen and Shanxi Province, and the human organ donation coordinator of the Shanxi Provincial Human Organ Acquisition and Distribution Service Center, an organ harvesting operation was completed.

　　Subsequently, the donated organs were provided to different recipients according to the allocation of human organ distribution and shared computer system.

Zhang Jianhua's life continued on three strangers.

　　Zhang Jianhua is an ordinary worker in Linfen City, and his generosity and generosity are common impressions of him.

In June 2022, while working, he fell into a coma due to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

As his only immediate family member, Zhang Jianhua's son, Mr. Zhang, was at the door of the ICU 24 hours a day and stayed up with red eyes for days and nights, but his father's brain function evaluation was getting worse.

　　Mr. Zhang first learned about organ donation from Wu Jingru, deputy director of the Medical Department of Linfen Central Hospital.

"Donating my father's organs, to be honest, it was very difficult for me to accept it at first, and even had serious resistance." Mr. Zhang's reaction represented the psychology of many ordinary people.

　　At present, the organ donation rate in China is relatively low, and the family members of the donors have to overcome the pressure brought by the traditional concept of life and death and the secular world.

After full communication with Mr. Zhang, Wu Jingru and Li Zhiguo, coordinator of Shanxi Human Organ Acquisition and Distribution Service Center, explained the relevant laws and regulations and the significance of organ donation.

　　Time flows silently, and the ICU talk room has never been so quiet.

Mr. Zhang took the initiative to break the silence, "My father is an ordinary person. He likes to make friends since he was young. Every time someone asks him for help, he puts down what he is doing and goes to help others first. Helping others is what my father has done all his life. Donate your organs now, and save as many people as you can."

　　Ordinary, but not ordinary.

"I didn't do anything major during my lifetime, and I hope to make as much contribution to the society as possible after birth." When asked why the family members of the donors donated, many family members gave such an answer.

　　The medical staff of Linfen Central Hospital were moved by the decision of Zhang Jianhua's family. After communication, the hospital reduced or exempted some of Zhang Jianhua's medical expenses to express their respect for organ donation as a relay of life.

　　Organ donation and organ transplantation are important means to save patients with organ failure.

With the diversification and multi-angle development of organ donation publicity, the public's understanding and acceptance of organ donation is constantly improving. However, because organ donation is highly specialized in medicine, the improvement of professional knowledge of medical staff will promote the implementation of organ donation work. seem particularly important.

　　In response to this, in recent years, with the support of the Shanxi Red Cross Society and the Health and Health Commission, the Shanxi Provincial Human Organ Acquisition and Distribution Service Center has carried out training for medical staff in relevant departments for many times.

　　If we say that the moment of life and death is like a memorable "festival", after the death of life, bringing more hope of life to those who are tormented by illness and longing for a new life will undoubtedly make this "festival" more meaningful.
