More than 100 Taiwan compatriots donated blood in Xiamen free of charge to pass on their love

Xiamen, 19 Jan (Xinhua) -- The 2022 Xiamen Taiwan Businessmen's Association's unpaid blood donation activity kicked off on the 19th.

In the morning, the unpaid blood donation truck of the Xiamen Central Blood Station drove into the Xiamen Taiwan Chamber of Commerce, and more than 100 Taiwan compatriots who stayed in Xiamen for the New Year chose to donate blood to the city where they worked and lived.

Xie Zhenghuan from Taipei came to the Xiamen Taiwan Chamber of Commerce early in the morning to cooperate with medical staff to register, measure blood pressure, test and draw blood. He said that this year's Spring Festival plan to celebrate the New Year with friends in Xiamen, and participating in meaningful activities such as blood donation has made him harvest more happiness.

"I chose to donate 400 milliliters of blood." Xie Zhenghuan said, "Blood donation can help others, but also help their own metabolism. Being able to donate blood in Xiamen was a special experience for me. ”

Su Feijun, another Taiwan compatriot who chose to stay in Xiamen for the New Year, donated 200 ml of blood this time. She has come to Xiamen from Hsinchu, Taiwan to work hard for more than ten years, and has repeatedly called on Taiwan businessmen and Taiwan compatriots in Xiamen to join hands to participate in free blood donation.

"Previously, due to my own physical reasons, I could not participate in blood donation. After meeting the blood donation standard in all aspects, I finally completed my careful wish and got the unpaid blood donation certificate, and I was very excited. Su Feijun said, "This should be the happiest thing for me to start spring this year." ”

Wu Jiaying, the initiator of the event and president of the Xiamen Taiwan Merchants Association, introduced that after the Xiamen Taiwan Merchants Association issued a proposal for unpaid blood donation online on January 10, it attracted more than 100 Taiwan compatriots in Xiamen to register.

"It is very meaningful for Taiwan compatriots in Xiamen to participate in unpaid blood donation and inject a warm current of love into the society." Wu Jiaying said that both sides of the strait are compatriots and are linked by blood, and such unpaid blood donation will continue to be carried out.
