■ Pregnant woman experiences sudden discomfort, miscarries and suffers from heavy bleeding

Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Wang, the victim's husband, informed reporters that his wife had been transferred to Peking University Third Hospital. After surgery, she was admitted to the ICU for observation. Her condition has now stabilized. Over the course of the day, he and his friends received numerous calls and messages from kind-hearted people offering help and condolences. They were deeply moved by this outpouring of support. Although the hospital managed to secure the blood supply needed, the kindness of so many people still warmed his heart. "This winter-to-spring season may still be cold, but our hearts are filled with warmth. Thank you all," expressed Mr. Wang and his friends in gratitude.

"Heavy bleeding, serious situation, life-threatening. Praying for this sister, hoping she stabilizes so her parents can feel at ease. Unfortunately, I'm not the right blood type! If you see this, please spread the word!" Weibo user "Wu Qing" sent blessings while forwarding the post. Another netizen commented, "This world is full of love; this is love. I hope everyone can lend a helping hand. Please forward this message! Let's fill this world with warmth. The winter won't be cold anymore!" Weibo user "Han Dahei V" responded, "Alright...I'll just forward it...Every drop of blood is warm and continues life!" Some netizens mentioned they had passed on the request to the China Rare Blood Type Alliance.

Our news report: "A friend suffered heavy bleeding after a miscarriage and is currently being treated at Haidian Maternal and Child Health Hospital. She urgently needs B-type RH positive blood. Could you help spread this rescue information in Beijing? Thank you very much. Kneeling down for your help." At 9:30 PM last night, Weibo user "Jingcheng Xiaocui'er V" posted a plea for help which was quickly forwarded. By noon yesterday, it had been retweeted over 6,000 times. Many netizens not only forwarded the post but also expressed their willingness to donate blood at the hospital.

"On the second day of the Chinese New Year, around 3 AM, my wife suddenly experienced stomach pain, so we rushed her to the hospital immediately," said Mr. Wang, the husband of the patient. His wife was carrying twins and was already six months pregnant. Before the Spring Festival, she had shown signs of a potential miscarriage and was hospitalized for three days at Haidian Maternal and Child Health Hospital. On New Year's Eve, the hospital confirmed that the mother's condition was stable and allowed her to be discharged. "The first two days at home were fine, but unexpectedly, an issue arose on the second day. When we arrived at the hospital, the situation was urgent. Not only did we lose the babies, but my wife also suffered from heavy bleeding. Her breathing was even difficult."

■ Friends have left Beijing, seeking help via Weibo

"Our friends are trying every method possible, some through connections, others contacting blood banks. I thought that since Weibo spreads information quickly, I should go online and post a plea for help, which indeed caught the attention of many netizens," said "Jingcheng Xiaocui'er V." Her plea was retweeted more than 6,000 times, and both she and Mr. Wang received many calls from netizens, many of whom offered to donate blood.

Weibo user "Jingcheng Xiaocui'er V" is a friend of Mr. Wang. When she received his call, she had already returned to her hometown for the New Year celebrations. "We all work in Beijing, and we don't know much about his wife's specific condition, only that she was carrying twins, and seemed to have been hospitalized before the Spring Festival. When we received the call, we were quite anxious," said "Jingcheng Xiaocui'er V." Since none of them were in Beijing, even if they wanted to donate blood, it would be hard to do so, especially given the urgency of the situation.

Mr. Wang said that during the rescue, the doctor mentioned that the patient needed platelets, and it appeared the hospital didn't have enough. "Although it was just a casual mention, seeing my wife's condition made me panic, so I immediately called my friends for help, asking them to find blood for me."
