On October 22, Chen Shaomin, a citizen of Jiujiang, rushed to make the last unpaid blood donation within the legal blood donation age before his 60th birthday. In the past 14 years, he has donated blood 178 times, with a total blood donation volume of 55,500 ml.
Chen Shaomin is a motorcycle repairman, the president of the Red Cross Volunteer Association of Chaisang District, Jiujiang City, and a "blood donor". Over the past 14 years, he has always adhered to the love blood donation activities, and has won the national, provincial and municipal unpaid blood donation awards "Gold Award", "Silver Award", "Jiujiang Red Cross Top Ten Volunteer Service Team Members", "The First Good People Around Chaisang District" and other titles.
This year, when he reached the age of ending blood donation, he lay on the blood donation bed for the last time, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. However, I am very happy to see more and more volunteers joining the army of unpaid blood donation, and I will continue to do a good job in volunteer service work such as the publicity of unpaid blood donation.
Chen Shaomin: "Some are reluctant and some are helpless." Fortunately, there are so many volunteers scrambling to donate blood, and the amount of blood donated to Chai Sang District is also a big improvement, so my mood is also much calmer. ”
On June 12, 2007, Chen Shaomin donated 400 ml of blood for the first time. Watching the bright red blood flow from the blood vessels into the transparent bag, he was very comfortable thinking that his blood could give new life to others. After that, he formed an indissoluble relationship with blood donation and insisted on donating blood as a long-term affair.
After six or seven years like this, Chen Shaomin is 53 years old, and the age of blood donation is approaching, and he is a little anxious. After consulting with the staff of the blood bank, he began to donate component blood when he learned that the interval between donating component blood (platelets) was short and had more advantages than whole blood. He rode to a downtown blood station every 14 days to donate blood, half a day at a time, without a single delay or delay.
The scenery along the way for more than ten years is changing, and what remains unchanged is his original intention of insisting on blood donation, donating platelets once every 14 days, which is twice a month. Once it was raining heavily, he rode a motorcycle to the blood station emergency blood donation, even people with a car fell down, he did not complain to his family or staff, he was bent on saving people's hearts; once the toothache to sleep all night but endured not to take medicine, he was worried that taking medicine would affect the body's transaminase, affecting the next day's donation. After so many years of blood donation experience, not everyone may have noticed him, but he has never been absent. He firmly said that he would continue to persevere.
Chen Shaomin: "Riding an electric car, whether it is sunny or rainy, whether it is a cold winter or a moon, I am always rushing to Jiujiang (urban area). ”
Chen Shaomin not only insisted on blood donation himself, but also took the lead in setting up the "Jiujiang Chaisang District Unpaid Blood Donation and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donation Volunteer Service Team", under his influence, more and more people in Chaisang District joined the unpaid blood donation volunteer team.
Chen Hong, assistant director of the Jiujiang Central Blood Station, said: "He has led a large number of volunteers to participate in unpaid blood donation, and has also driven a lot of blood donors. We hope that everyone will follow his example, actively participate in the cause of unpaid blood donation, and do a better job of unpaid blood donation in Jiujiang City. ”
