As World Blood Donor Day approaches, China is witnessing a heartwarming surge in youth-led blood donations – driven by personal stories, campus campaigns, and a growing sense of social responsibility. 🩸
Meet Dong Jun, 22, who celebrated graduating from Beijing Jiaotong University by rolling up his sleeve. "Donating blood feels like leaving a piece of myself with the community that shaped me," he told us. This engineering student first donated at 18 and sees it as his "small but vital contribution" to public health.
His university recently partnered with the Beijing Red Cross Blood Center to address supply shortages, targeting soon-to-graduate students and staff. The response? Over 200 donors in just one week! 📈
Counselor Li Zhaoyi, a second-time donor, shared his powerful motivation: "I watched donated blood save my family member's life. Now I want to pay that forward." He's even registered as a stem cell donor – talk about next-level heroism! 🦸♂️
With 1.4 million blood donations recorded annually in Beijing alone, these young donors represent a growing trend. As the Blood Center notes: "Every drop counts in building a healthier future." 🌱
