I am the 21408th donor

Every New Year's Day holiday, my mother would take me to take a set of photo photos to record the moments of my growth. This year's photo is very different from previous years: I said goodbye to the long hair that accompanied me for 9 years like a waterfall! My mother praised me, and I had the innocence of a primary school student.

In early 2021, my mother took me to the cinema to watch "Send You a Little Red Flower". "Send you a little red flower, send you a small red flower, bloom in your new branch yesterday..." When the theme song sounded, I was already in tears, and every brave person who fought against fate in the film deeply touched me.

Walking out of the movie theater, the picture in the film has been in my mind, seeing me silent, my mother asked me to talk about the feeling of watching the aftermath. "The little girl who left forever before she had time to grow up, the wig on the old father's luggage, was particularly glaring in the sun, which made me very moved." I inexplicably asked my mother, why do people with cancer wear wigs? Mom explained that people with cancer need to do chemotherapy, and chemotherapy will lead to gradual loss of hair, they wear wigs to want to live like normal people, but the high cost of treatment makes many patients reluctant to buy wigs. "I want to donate my long hair to them!" Hearing me say this, my mother was stunned, and she leaned down and asked me seriously: "You love your hair the most, are you really willing?" "Yes, I have dreamed of Rapunzel since I was a child, and I have a long black silky hair, so I am often envied by my friends."

I touched the long hair like a waterfall, thought about it very seriously, and then firmly said to my mother: "I am willing, such beautiful hair, if it can be worn on the heads of children with cancer, they must be very happy, the mood will be better and the pain will be alleviated, I think they need it more than I do, so it is fixed!" My mother smiled happily, and she promised me that she would contact the hair donation agency and take me to cut my hair.

One Sunday after the start of the fall semester, my mother took out her mobile phone and cast the movie "Send You a Little Red Flower" onto the TV, while watching it with me again, and asked me if I wanted to donate? "You've already found a donor?" Sure enough, Mom smiled and nodded.

I happily followed my mother to the hairdresser's shop. As soon as I sat down, my mother teased me and said, "It's too late to regret it." I ignored her, but urged my hairdresser uncle: "You cut it!" "In this way, the long hair that has been with me for 9 years day and night, a small group of them have said goodbye to me one after another. Looking at myself in the mirror, Qi Er's short hair looked very refreshing, and I excitedly said to my mother: "Short hair is also beautiful!" ”

With my mother's help, I donated my beloved long hair to the public welfare donation agency "Green Silk Action", and I was honored to become the 21408th donor.

After cutting my hair short, I wasn't used to it for many days in a row. For example, when sleeping, you will habitually pull your hair outside the pillow, and every time you reach out, you always feel that your head is "empty"; when washing your hair, you habitually press the shampoo bottle three times, and wipe a handful of shampoo on your head to wake up, and your long hair is gone. Ha ha! However, at this time, I was very proud and felt like a righteous woman.

Give someone a rose, and the hand has a lingering fragrance. In the new year, I want to continue to pass on my love and use my own practical actions to help more people in need.
