Special New Year's gift: "Post-95" guys donated 45 cm long hair to children with cancer

A "post-95" guy with long hair and waist recently prepared a special New Year's gift for children with cancer: a bunch of long hair that has been left for 4 years. This long strand of hair will be made into a wig to help children who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy face the disease more courageously.

Nie Zifu (the screen name "three-eared radish"), who works in the media in Beijing, began to grow long hair in early 2018, initially just to try hanfu styling. Later, he accidentally watched the video and learned that his hair could be made into a wig and donated to a child with cancer, and he was deeply touched and decided to continue to grow his hair.

Long hair brought many inconveniences to his life. "In public places, they are often mistaken for gender, they are called 'beautiful women' by salesmen when they walk on the road, and it is easy to scare others when they go to public toilets." Nie Zifu said. In the end, he donated 45 centimeters of hair.

"I feel a little reluctant in my heart, but this bundle of hair can be made into a love wig and given to children who need chemotherapy." It can keep a little friend from being nicknamed because of their appearance, and maybe that's the best New Year's gift I can give to a strange child. Nie Zifu said.

"I didn't expect that after the video was sent, many people paid attention to it, and many cancer patients and relatives sent private messages to tell their stories." Nie Zifu said that this has given him a deeper understanding of the difficulties of cancer patients and the care and respect they need.

Nie Zifu's donation was made under the inspiration of the "U Ribbon Action".

It is reported that the "Wu Ribbon Action" was jointly initiated by the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Chongqing University, the Chongqing University Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Chongqing University DianxingXingxing Public Welfare Team and the enterprise. As of the end of January 2022, Operation Wu Ribbon has received hair donations from 1,096 caring people from 27 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.

A girl who had cancer many years ago said that her favorite thing at that time was a hat with two braids to resist strange eyes. There was also a girl who lost her hair due to ovarian cancer, and her mother bought her a wig cover, and after she put it on, she was as excited as a little girl, so the girl really understood how important hair is for cancer patients.

The person in charge of "Operation Wu Ribbon" reminds that the skin of cancer patients should avoid contact with harsh chemicals, so donated hair needs to be not permed and dyed within a year. When making wigs, the hair needs to be folded in half, and the length of donated hair should not be less than 30 cm.

4 February is World Cancer Day. Nie Zifu said the hair he donated was processed and expected to be made into a wig by the end of February and delivered to the children. He told reporters that after this hair cut, he planned to lengthen his hair again and let the silk love continue. (Reporters Lin Miaomiao and Wang Junlu)
