At 9 o'clock in the morning on April 20, Gao Guangxing once again walked into the Guantao County Blood Donation House. This is Gao Guangxing's 96th blood donation.
Many years later, in the face of the familiar blood donation vehicle, Gao Guangxing will always remember that afternoon in August 2008. That day, he found a newly built unpaid blood donation station on the side of the road and walked over to talk to the staff. When he learned that some patients were in urgent need of blood transfusions to save their lives, he immediately stretched out his arm and began to donate blood for the first time in his life.
Watching the 400cc of blood slowly flow out of his body, Gao Guangxing was curious and excited, even he didn't expect that this incident would become an important part of his life in the future. In 16 years, in 96 repetitions, Gao Guangxing stretched out his arms again and again.
Gao Guangxing, 50, is a third-level senior sergeant of the Guantao County Public Security Bureau. After 20 years as a police officer, he is down-to-earth, vigorous and resolute in his work, and is the "commander" in everyone's actions; in life, he is a humble person, a "big brother" in the eyes of his colleagues, and a "caring person" in the hearts of the masses.
However, it doesn't stop there. He embodies more of a chivalrous tenderness, he can't see others in pain, he can't see others in difficulty, as long as he is allowed to meet, he always tries his best to help. In June 2018, he initiated the establishment of the "Guantao County Little Orange Lantern Unpaid Blood Donation Volunteer Service Team".
Speaking of "Little Orange Lantern", Gao Guangxing could not hide his excitement. In 6 years, "Little Orange Lantern" has increased from the initial dozen people to more than 800 people, with a total of more than 80,000 hours of volunteer service, about 2.8 tons of blood donation, 21 volunteers successfully donated hematopoietic stem cells, 7 volunteers donated bodies or organs, rescued tens of thousands of patients, and drove tens of thousands of people in the county to participate in the "three donations and one rescue" public welfare undertakings......
ischemia, urgent need for blood...... This is the topic that every member of the "Little Orange Lantern" is most concerned about. When he learned that someone needed to save his life with blood, the chain reaction of the "Little Orange Lantern" volunteers "responded to every call" always made Gao Guangxing feel gratified.
On August 5 last year, it rained heavily in Guantao County. Gao Guangxing received an urgent call for help. "My sister has a blood disease and is being hospitalized in Handan Central Hospital," Guo Xinhua, the patient's sister, said on the other end ......of the phone, and couldn't cry anymore.
"Don't worry, we will definitely help you!" Gao Guangxing put down the phone and immediately posted emergency blood information in the "Little Orange Lantern" WeChat group. "I'm in the blood donation house, and I'll finish collecting it in half an hour!" "My daughter-in-law is O-type, and I'll be over in a while." "Do you need it?" I can go......
In a short period of time, 3 volunteers with type O blood have completed 1,000 ml of blood collection at the Guantao County Blood Donation House. Immediately, the blood adjustment procedure was started, and at 18 o'clock on the same day, blood droplets were injected into the patient's body. On August 7, 8 members of the "Little Orange Lantern" team donated 3,200 ml of blood for the second time for this patient.
Not only that, but the light of the "little orange lantern" has shone farther away.
Previously, Ms. Cui of Jining City, Shandong Province, was diagnosed with acute leukemia and was admitted to Shandong Provincial Hospital, where she needed platelet transfusions every day for treatment. On January 28, after screening, volunteers Li Shemin, Liu Zhiqiang and Yan Shirong, accompanied by Gao Guangxing and Zhang Shoujing of the Red Cross Society of Guantao County, rushed to Shandong Blood Center to donate 5 therapeutic amounts (equivalent to 1,000 ml) of platelets to Ms. Cui, so that Ms. Cui could regain her life.
Jinan and Liaocheng in Shandong Province, Xingtai and Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province, Anyang and Puyang in Henan Province, Changzhi in Shanxi Province, and even Deyang in Sichuan Province, more than 1,300 kilometers away, Gao Guangxing led the "Little Orange Lantern" through more than ten provinces and cities, and sent "seeds of life" to more than ten patients.
Treat small things as big things, and make big things good things. "What does it mean to donate blood for free?" Gao Guangxing's answer to this question was so powerful: "It will make you hear the voice of life." ”
Gao Guangxing looked at the emblem icon of the "little orange lantern" on his mobile phone and said to reporters: "Just like our logo, the bright yellow orange bowl, the fiery red orange petal, and a beating fire is lit in the middle." This means that all our volunteers do their best to donate blood to save lives, and all the blood droplets gather in the center to nourish the candle flame and form the light of life. It is surrounded by a circle of green, and green represents vitality and life, with candlelight as the center, which is to illuminate life. ”
Yes, just like Gao Guangxing's WeChat name. "One meter of sunshine", that stream of blood, is a meter of sunshine shining into the lives of countless patients, it is the power to give the pulse to continue beating, and it is the hope to give life vitality......
On April 18, the "China Good People List" in the first quarter of 2024 was released, and Gao Guangxing was listed on the "Helping Others" China Good People List, becoming the only one selected in our city. "No amount of honor can be compared to the sense of accomplishment that comes from helping others. Gao Guangxing said, "I am just an ordinary person, only public welfare is a cause that cannot be stopped in this life." ”
