Zhengzhou, December 15 (Reporter Han Zhangyun) On December 15, the weather in Zhengzhou was somewhat gloomy, but Lu Shuai's heart was warm and melting, and he realized his long-term wish to complete hematopoietic stem cell donation and save the life of a stranger. "I have no regrets in 2021 and can draw a happy ending."

On the same day, accompanied by his family and relatives and friends, Lu Shuai, a caring volunteer, successfully completed the donation of hematopoietic stem cells at the Henan Provincial People's Hospital, and the "seed of life" he donated will send hope for the rebirth of a strange patient. Lu Shuai also became the 1058th voluntary donor of non-related hematopoietic stem cells in Henan Province.

Lu Shuai, 35 years old this year, is an employee of a catering company, and he is a warm-hearted and righteous person in life. In 2012, he also joined the China Bone Marrow Bank.

"At that time, I saw the Red Cross staff doing propaganda on the side of the road, and I learned that joining the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank could save people, so I filled in the information." Lu Shuai recalled with a smile that before collecting blood samples, the staff also repeatedly confirmed his wishes, "I told the staff that I was very sure that I wanted to join the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank, which was a good thing that could save people."" Although 9 years have passed, Lu Shuai still remembers his original intention to join the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank.

With the passage of time, the busyness of work and life made Lu Shuai gradually forget about joining the China Bone Marrow Bank, until September this year, when he suddenly received a phone call, which ignited the fire of love in Lu Shuai's heart.

The call came from a local Red Cross staff member in Xinxiang because Lu Shuai and a patient were successfully matched.

"When I got the call, to be honest, I was a little surprised and a little confused, but when the staff asked me if I would like to donate hematopoietic stem cells, I kept saying 'I am willing to donate'." Lu Shuai told reporters that after hanging up the phone, he felt like he was dreaming, and he couldn't believe that he still had the opportunity to save people and realize his wish to be in storage for so many years.

After calming down, Lu Shuai began to learn about various knowledge about donating hematopoietic stem cells on the Internet, and told his parents about it at the first time, and he got the support of his parents, which gave him a lot of confidence. But there are also friends around him who advise him not to donate, thinking that donating hematopoietic stem cells will harm the body.

"I know that everyone is well-intentioned, but they don't understand the donation of hematopoietic stem cells." Lu Shuai said that when friends persuaded him again, because he understood the significance of donating hematopoietic stem cells, his desire to donate was even more urgent, "because he did not want to leave regrets for himself."

After a physical examination and high-resolution test, Lu Shuai opened the donation preparation, after a few injections of mobilization agent, his body had some discomfort, but he said: "This discomfort I can still endure, saving people is the most important." ”

Before donating hematopoietic stem cells, Lu Shuai saw a lot of stories of "post-90s" and "post-00s" donating hematopoietic stem cells to save people on the Internet, and he felt that "post-90s" could do it himself. "I've always remembered my mother's saying' to help others as much as I can, and I don't want to leave myself with regrets, which is also a happy end to my 2021." (End)
