On February 18, the first working day after the Spring Festival holiday in the Year of the Dragon, Xiang Wujiu, the head of the Zhong'an Volunteer Service Corps of the China Volunteer Association, led four blood donation volunteers, including Wu Jingang, Wang Hui and Gao Benfu, to the blood station in the center of Hefei early in the morning to donate blood as the first thing to start the work of the Year of the Dragon.
According to Captain Xiang Wujiu, the number of blood donors decreased during the Spring Festival, and the blood inventory in various places was often insufficient, and clinical blood was tight. I learned from the blood donation volunteers that the stock of type O blood in the Hefei Central Blood Station was insufficient, and it was only enough to use it for 4-6 days, so I rushed to the central blood station with Wu Jingang, Wang Hui, Gao Benfu and others to donate blood.
Many blood donation volunteers have their own jobs, and today is the first day of the statutory working day in the Year of the Dragon, and there are many things to deal with, so there is no centralized blood donation organization. Of course, in the near future, we have plans to organize the first unpaid blood donation event in the Year of the Dragon. Xiang Wujiu introduced, "On January 26 before the Spring Festival, we organized a centralized blood donation activity, and a total of 58 blood donation volunteers from public welfare organizations and units such as the Zhong'an Volunteer Service Corps of the China Volunteer Association, the Xinghuo Social Welfare Innovation and Development Center of Yaohai District, Hefei City, the Feixi Hongai Volunteer Association, the Golden Idea Team, the Hefei Luzhou Park Management Office, the Hefei Luyang District Daai Charity Public Welfare Development Center, and the Feidong Sanxian Volunteer Service Team participated in the activity and donated blood. ”
He also said that as the main person in charge of the Zhong'an Volunteer Service Corps of the Chinese Volunteer Association, he will take unpaid blood donation as a major work of the corps, and write this work into the annual plan at the 2024 work meeting. He pointed out that the staff of the corps are encouraged to actively participate in unpaid blood donation under the premise of physical conditions, but unpaid blood donation itself is not the content of the corps' work, but to do a good job in publicizing unpaid blood donation and volunteers and volunteer service teams who have participated in unpaid blood donation for many years, so as to attract more qualified, caring and enthusiastic people from all walks of life to participate in the unpaid blood donation team, so as to ensure that there are blood donation volunteers in any place and at any time to donate blood nearby and fill the blood inventory of blood stations around the countryto ensure the clinical use of blood in medical institutions.
It is understood that due to the pressure of work on the front line of news all the year round, Captain Xiang Wujiu's physical condition is not good, even so, he resolutely took the lead and actively participated in unpaid blood donation. In addition, on July 23, 2020, with the assistance of the staff of the Red Cross Society of Anhui Province, he also filled out the registration form for voluntary body donation (full donation). "Only those who truly respect, cherish, and care for life can truly appreciate the importance of unpaid blood donation, organ donation, and body donation to save lives and health. Xiang Wujiu said.
