Huzhou, China, April 28 (Reporter Shi Zinan Correspondent Ji Nan) At 8 a.m., Cao Ren, who was born in Changxing, Zhejiang Province in 1991, was lying on the hematopoietic stem cell collection love bed of Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, waiting for medical staff to inject him with a mobilization agent for the last time.
After 20 minutes, the hematopoietic stem cell collection process officially began, and the doctor will collect hematopoietic stem cells for Cao Ren and send them to Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, to save a "post-80s" patient suffering from blood diseases.
A phone call brings life-saving responsibility
His own blood can save people, and Cao Ren feels that it is a very proud thing. He has many years of experience in unpaid blood donation, after a blood donation in May 2018, Cao Ren learned about the relevant situation of hematopoietic stem cell donation, and after careful consideration, he filled out the hematopoietic stem cell volunteer donation registration form and became a hematopoietic stem cell donation volunteer.

One day in November 2019, Cao Ren received a call from the Changxing County Red Cross Society informing him that his blood sample matched that of a leukemia patient and asking if he would like to donate hematopoietic stem cells. "I was really anxious when I got the call, and my only thought was to donate blood and save people." Cao Ren said.
In Cao Ren's view, he joined the volunteer pool at that time in order to save people. Now there is such an opportunity, say that nothing has to be donated," I heard that the probability of hematopoietic stem cell matching is very low, many volunteers have not had the opportunity to donate, I did not expect that I only became a volunteer for a year, I had the opportunity to save people, I feel that I am a lucky volunteer." ”
After the initial screening, high-resolution matching, and health examination, Cao Ren's hematopoietic stem cells became the "life torch" of a "post-80s" patient in Suzhou.
However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the donation itinerary, which was scheduled for February 2020, was not determined until the beginning of April. In the early morning of April 23, Cao Ren went to Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to go through the donation procedures to prepare for hematopoietic stem cell donation a few days later.
This trip is of great significance to Cao Ren, who has been looking forward to it for a long time and has been preparing for a long time. He said, "A person lives a lifetime, and he must do something that can be remembered for a lifetime." "This donation of hematopoietic stem cells is actually the fulfillment of a dream of my own."
Mother fully supports and cooperates with "hiding the sky and crossing the sea"
After learning the news that Cao Ren wanted to donate hematopoietic stem cells, his mother fully supported and even cooperated with Cao Ren to plan a plan to "hide the sky and cross the sea".
"Suddenly left home for so many days, afraid that the grandmother who lived together would suspect it, so we made a consultation in advance and did not tell the old man at the first time." Cao Ren said that after learning about the donation of hematopoietic stem cells for others, her grandmother had worried about the impact on her body and showed concern.

In order to prevent her grandmother from stopping her, Cao Ren and her mother did not tell them the truth at the first time. Cao Ren admitted that he had worried about this problem like his grandmother, but after inquiring about the information, he learned that donating hematopoietic stem cells would not have any impact on his health, and he reassured his concerns.
"Seeing that he is only thinking about saving others, I have no reason not to support him." During the time when Cao Ren went to Hangzhou, her mother would call every day to inquire about her physical condition. Now that she has learned the news of Cao Ren's successful donation, her grandmother has also put her heart at ease and is proud of her grandson.
The news that Cao Ren donated hematopoietic stem cells to save people quickly spread in his unit, and colleagues gave him a thumbs up. A leader of the unit said that Cao Ren often participates in public welfare activities in normal times, and people are also enthusiastic, and now he has done such a meaningful thing, which has set a good example for the vast number of cadres and workers, and has also injected positive energy into the work of creating civilization in the unit.
"At present, there are nearly 800 Changxing caring people who have joined the hematopoietic stem cell donor database (China Bone Marrow Bank), and the number is increasing at a rate of nearly 100 people per year, more than 80 people have received matching, and Cao Ren is the second person who has successfully matched." The staff of the Changxing County Red Cross Society said so.
In addition, more than 1,000 people in the county have joined the volunteer team of organ donation, and 4 cases of organ donation, 5 cases of body donation, and 9 cases of cornea donation have been completed. (End)
