Zhuzhou ** News (Quan** reporter Liu Qiong correspondent Chen Jun) "I am very happy to be able to help others and reunite a family. On December 20, Tang Yihui, a 26-year-old young man from Yongzhou, successfully donated hematopoietic stem cells in the Central Hospital, becoming the 46th unrelated hematopoietic stem cell donor in our city. On this cold winter day, this precious "seed of life" will make another person rush to new life.
Tang Yihui is a retired soldier who is currently working in Delitong Elevator as the installation team leader of the engineering department. While still serving in the army, he participated in many unpaid blood donations. In 2017, during a blood donation, Tang Yihui learned that donating hematopoietic stem cells could restore hope for blood disease patients, and he immediately registered for the China Bone Marrow Bank.
In September this year, Tang Yihui, who was busy at the construction site, received a letter from the Municipal Red Cross. Knowing that he was first matched with a child with leukemia in another province, he did not hesitate and immediately agreed to donate.
"I have a chance to save people now and I don't want the tragedy to happen again".Tang Yihui said.
It turned out that in 2021, Tang Yihui's uncle was suffering from leukemia and died of chemotherapy infection before he could do bone marrow matching. In the hospital, he witnessed his uncle being tormented by the disease, and his heart was heartbroken. It was then that he began to pay attention to leukemia, hoping that his hematopoietic stem cell blood sample could be matched with a blood disease patient and help others save their lives.
In order to realize his wish to save people, he worked hard to overcome the difficulties of his work, traveled to construction sites and hospitals, and actively cooperated with various preparations before donation. Happily, after more than 5 hours of collection, he successfully donated 206 ml of hematopoietic stem cells.
After the donation, Tang Yihui also sent blessings to the little patients in the distance: "In the vast sea of people, we were successfully matched, which is a kind of fate and a blessing. I hope that you will be able to overcome the disease, grow up healthily, continue your love, and grow up to be a useful person to society. ”
This year, our city has successfully achieved 19 cases of unrelated hematopoietic stem cell donation, a record high. The Municipal Red Cross Society appealed to more caring people to join the hematopoietic stem cell donation team, so that love and life can be passed on from generation to generation.
