March 12 is the 46th "Arbor Day", 36-year-old Zou Ningning planted a "love tree" with his practical actions - donating hematopoietic stem cells, practicing the wish he made when he was in college! After 286 minutes of collection, the 251 ml of hematopoietic stem cell suspension in the body was successfully separated, and it was immediately sent to the recipient's hospital for transplantation, bringing hope to the patient.
Zou Ningning is the 1004th case in Zhejiang Province and the 306th case in Hangzhou City as a hematopoietic stem cell donor. Zou Ningning, who was born in 88, said excitedly: "It has been fifteen years since I started college, and I have finally been able to realize my wish, and I feel particularly honored to complete this on this special day." ”
Zou Ningning has been participating in Red Cross blood donation activities since he was in college, and has donated more than 10,000 milliliters of blood and platelets more than 10 times. When he was in college, he learned that donating hematopoietic stem cells could save people's lives during a publicity and mobilization of the Red Cross hematopoietic stem cell bank, so he decisively kept his blood samples and joined the China Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donor Database (China Bone Marrow Bank) and became a volunteer. Since then, Zou Ningning has been ready to donate at any time. In November 2023, Zou Ningning received a call from the staff of the Red Cross to inform him of the successful initial matching, asking if he was willing to do further high-resolution matching.
On the morning of the 12th, the Hangzhou Red Cross Society issued him the "Certificate of Honor for Donating Hematopoietic Stem Cells", and Tao Yier, Secretary General of the Hangzhou Red Cross Society, Jia Yuanyuan, Deputy Mayor of Gongshu District, and leaders of the Red Cross Society at the district and street levels went to the scene to express condolences and highly praised his selfless dedication to his great love.
I believe that an example like Zou Ningning, who has a selfless and dedicated spirit of love in his bones, will inspire and influence more and more people. For patients with blood diseases who are in urgent need of hematopoietic stem cell treatment, each additional volunteer joins the chance of getting a match and a little more hope for rebirth.
