[Explanation] In the first half of 2022, Hefei City implemented 34 cases of organ donation, 27 cases of body donation, and 38 cases of corneal donation.

Up to now, Hefei City has registered more than 40,000 volunteers for organ and body donation.

Among them, young people aged 18 to 29 have become the "absolute main force", reaching more than 21,000 people, accounting for more than half of the total.

　　[Explanation] Zhang Ruiyang, who was born in 2003, went through the body (organ) donation procedures on June 8 this year, and arranged for himself the "death event".

　　Because I was born in Posts and Telecommunications New Village since I was a child, there are usually many neighbors in Posts and Telecommunications New Village, all of whom have joined this large body (organ) donation team. In addition, they often publicize and educate me, and they have a great impression on me.

But I wasn't an adult at that time, so I couldn't join this big family of caring society and body (organ) donation. Later, in June this year, when I became an adult, I mustered up the courage and decided to join this big family. Red Cross Love Society.

　　[Explanation] The "Love Society" in Zhang Ruiyang's mouth is a caring organization established for body (organ) donation. It is composed of more than 30 elderly people from Posts and Telecommunications Village, Shushan District, Hefei City.

Up to now, the members of the love society have spread all over Hefei City, Feidong County, Feixi County and other areas, with nearly 90 people.

　　Our Love Society was established in the 1990s. At that time, it was Wu Lang who first donated his body (organ).

As of now, there should be 80 or 90 people. Like before, they were all in our community, but now they are gradually expanding to Feidong, Feixi, Lujiang, and other districts.

　　[Explanation] Currently, Zhang Ruiyang is studying at Anhui Vocational and Technical College of Transportation.

Donate your own body and organs to let your life continue in another form.

This idea, Zhang Ruiyang, who is only 19 years old, has been brewing for three years.

　　I think this kind of thing is worth publicizing and doing, because although we are dead, our remains and organs can help many people in need, not only for ourselves, but also for the society. certain public interest and significance.

　　[Explanation] When Zhang Ruiyang mentioned body donation to his parents for the first time, he was immediately rejected by his family.

But the idea of ​​donating his body has become his biggest wish.

Under Zhang Ruiyang's hard work, his mother Zhang Lixia finally agreed with his idea and helped her son do ideological work for other relatives.

　　At first I thought he was joking with me, he said body donation, I said that body donation is a good thing, then he said Mom, what I told you was true, he said I was going to donate my body, we just I think he is only 18 years old so young, and then considering such a long-term matter, it is a bit difficult to live with reason. He showed me the photos of the uncles and aunts of the caring society in the community. He said that I wanted to join, and he said that this was my wish, and we should also respect his choice.

　　[Explanation] In Zhang Ruiyang's view, there are many types of public welfare undertakings, some donate money, some donate materials... But he "donated" himself, just to provide hope for more people in life, and may he be a little Light can make society warmer.

　　As a young man in the new era, I will try my best to promote public welfare undertakings in my future life and work, so that more people can understand it and join our big family of public welfare undertakings. To jointly promote the progress and development of social civilization.
