On July 3rd, July 10th, July 17th and July 24th, Jinshanwei Town carried out four special blood donation activities in Jinshan District Blood Station. During this period, a familiar figure attracted the attention of the staff, she was Yu Hongmei, a villager from Group 7 of Bazi Village.
Gu Xiaoling, a blood donation worker in Bazi Village, said that Aunt Yu has insisted on donating blood for more than 20 years, and the amount of blood donated is 400 milliliters each time.
Ms. Yu, 57, works in a factory and often works night shifts. Despite her busy life, her passion for blood donation has never waned. Aunt Yu said that she participated in unpaid blood donation for the first time in her twenties, and she has wanted to keep going ever since.
"When I was young, I wanted to be a soldier, but at that time, the conditions for being a soldier were strict, especially there were fewer female soldiers, so I didn't realize this wish." Aunt Yu said, "Although my desire to become a soldier has not been realized, I still want to contribute to society." ”
Like Aunt Yu, in the North Gate residential area of Jinshanwei Town, there is also a retired soldier - Xie Xiaobao, who will turn a little bit of love into a trickle and silently help those in need.
It is understood that Xie Xiaobao is the director of the 1811 Lane Industry Committee of the Beimen Residential Area, and he is also an enthusiastic volunteer in the community, and he can always be seen busy in the residential area. Since 2003, Xie Xiaobao has donated blood 20 times, totaling 5,400 ml, and has won the bronze medal of the 2020-2021 National Unpaid Blood Donation Award.
Last year, Xie Xiaobao also joined the China Bone Marrow Bank, hoping to help more people in need.
In fact, in Jinshan, there are still many people like Yu Hongmei and Xie Xiaobao who silently dedicate love, and the team of unpaid blood donations is also growing. It is reported that this year alone, 623 people in Jinshanwei Town participated in the unpaid blood donation of a total of 164,800 milliliters, dedicating love and passing on warmth.
