Selflessness and great love for the motherland —— Two volunteers in Zhengzhou donate hematopoietic stem cells at the same time

　　People’s Daily Online, Zhengzhou, October 1 (Wang Pei) On September 30, two caring citizens of Zhengzhou, Sui Xianjie and Fan Xiaojun, donated hematopoietic stem cells at the People’s Hospital of Henan Province at the same time, sending hope of rebirth to two patients with hematological diseases, becoming the 282nd and 283rd hematopoietic stem cell donation volunteers in Zhengzhou and the 795th and 796th hematopoietic stem cell donors in Henan respectively. Throughout September, 16 caring volunteers in Henan successfully donated hematopoietic stem cells, setting a new monthly donation record. On September 20th, 5 volunteers donated, setting a new daily donation record. In September, Henan was full of positive energy.

　　Sui Xianjie, who works in Zhengzhou, is 36 years old. In 2011, he joined the database of hematopoietic stem cell donors in China, expecting to contribute his love to save lives one day. After a long wait of 8 years, on June 25, 2019, Sui Xianjie received a notice that he had successfully matched a leukemia patient. At that time, Sui Xianjie was pregnant with her lover, because her family worried that the donation would have an impact, and Sui Xianjie was in a dilemma. After learning from many sources, Sui Xianjie learned that donating hematopoietic stem cells would not affect fertility, so he persuaded his family and won their support and understanding.

　　Fan Xiaojun, who is currently working in Xinzheng, is a post-90 s dad. At the age of 27, he is a private enterprise employee. Fan Xiaojun, who is kind by nature, took an active part in all kinds of caring activities when he was in school. On March 16th, 2016, in a voluntary blood donation activity, Fan Xiaojun, who is studying in Zhengzhou Institute of Science and Technology, learned about and joined the information of hematopoietic stem cell donors in China. In July 2019, Fan Xiaojun received a phone call from Zhengzhou Red Cross Society and learned that his initial matching with a blood patient was successful. Although two years have passed, Fan Xiaojun has gone from campus to society and has become a husband and father, but the promise he made during his school days is still in his mind. After receiving the notice, he agreed to donate without hesitation. After successfully passing the processes of high-resolution matching and physical examination, Fan Xiaojun’s donation is scheduled for September 30, 2019. At this time, Fan Xiaojun’s lover is still pregnant with a second child. Although it was busy at home, Fan Xiaojun’s family gave him the greatest support, so that he had no worries.

　　The Red Cross Society of Henan Province reminds that if Henan patients need unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, they can search for matching through seven hospitals including Henan Cancer Hospital, Henan Provincial People’s Hospital, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou Third People’s Hospital, Luoyang Central Hospital, First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology and Xinxiang Central Hospital, and the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank will provide free services for all patients.
