8 May 2024 is the 77th World Red Cross Day. This afternoon, the 2024 Jinshan District Hematopoietic Stem Cell Centralized Storage Activity and the Launching Ceremony of the Red Cross Service Station in Tinglin Town Industrial Park were held in the Tinglin Intelligent Manufacturing Products Market. 257 volunteers rolled up their sleeves and gave their love to successfully complete the warehousing. Li Jiangying, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Executive Vice President of the Shanghai Red Cross Society, and Cao Jie, Deputy District Mayor and President of the District Red Cross Society, attended the event.
At the event site, the volunteers who came to participate in the hematopoietic stem cell storage queued up in an orderly manner, and successfully completed the hematopoietic stem cell storage after registration, blood collection, certification and other processes. Among them, there are many college students and young workers.
Gui Jieren, a first-year student from Shanghai Modern Vocational College of Technology, told reporters that he learned about this warehousing activity at school, "I came with my classmates today, hoping to do my best to make more contributions to the society, and hope that one day I will have the opportunity to donate and help others."
Yang Siwei, a 26-year-old employee of the Tinglin branch of Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank, who donates blood every year, said, "I feel that since I have the ability and conditions, I have the obligation and responsibility to help patients, and one more blood sample gives me more hope."
The event also presented flowers to representatives of hematopoietic stem cell donors, further creating a good social atmosphere of "carrying forward the spirit of the Red Cross, respecting and caring for life". According to statistics, up to now, 10,279 hematopoietic stem cells have been deposited in Jinshan District, and a total of 59 cases have been donated. The young people of Jinshan practice the spirit of the Red Cross with practical actions, ignite the hope of life with their fiery youth, and create a unique "Jinshan phenomenon" in the work of hematopoietic stem cell donation in Shencheng.
The Red Cross service station is an important window for the Red Cross to carry out grassroots convenience services. At the scene, the Red Cross Service Station of Tinglin Town Industrial Park in Jinshan District, Shanghai was officially unveiled, which is also the first Red Cross Service Station in the industrial park in the area. In the future, it will provide daily and urgently needed Red Cross services for residents in the surrounding communities, continuously deepen the "Party Building + Escort Enterprise Voyage" enterprise rescue and other projects, and further plant the Red Cross cultural elements in the development of the industrial park.
According to the Regulations of the Shanghai Red Cross Society, which came into effect on July 1, 2022, the week of the Red Cross Day is the "Red Cross Fraternity Week".

"I hope that through this series of activities, more citizens can master the knowledge of emergency rescue and truly achieve self-help and mutual rescue. At the same time, through centralized storage, it will bring hope to more leukemia patients.
