54 years old! Liu Hong became the oldest hematopoietic stem cell donor in Fujian

Liu Hong's hematopoietic stem cells will bring hope to patients.

On the morning of the 19th, in the ward of Fujian Union Hospital, "post-60s" Liu Hong successfully donated hematopoietic stem cells to send seeds of life to a patient with blood diseases. This is the 83rd case in Fuzhou, the 317th case of unrelated hematopoietic stem cell donor in Fujian Province, and the oldest donor in Fujian Province at present.

Liu Hong, 54, is a catering practitioner in Fuzhou. "At first glance, he looks like he is wearing a mask, not like a 'post-60s', but like a 'post-90s'." The Red Cross staff said that perhaps it was precisely because of the love that the years did not leave many traces on him. Liu Hong came from a military family, his parents were both veteran party members, and his father had participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. He said that under the influence of his father, he knows the hardships and values of life, so he always does his best to help people in need.

In September 2011, Liu Hong joined the database of Chinese hematopoietic stem cell donors. It was during a blood donation, he saw the relevant propaganda of hematopoietic stem cell donation, learned that donating hematopoietic stem cells can save people, he left his own blood sample.

After 10 years of waiting, this year, he finally waited for a successful phone call. When the Red Cross staff asked him if he would like to donate, he said without hesitation: "The matter of saving people is greater than the sky, of course it must be done." ”

It is understood that the age of non-related hematopoietic stem cell donation is 18 years old to 55 years old, and Liu Hong is 54 years old at this time, but he has no concerns and his family is also very supportive. He said: "The meaningful things that can actually be done in a human life are very limited, and it is also a fate to be able to match success among tens of millions of people." This is a show of hands for me, and I also hope that everyone can be a person who is helpful to society. ”

Just the day before the donation, Liu Hong wrote in the WeChat circle of friends: "In the face of need, we should all be the one who lends a helping hand." ”
