3‰, this is the proportion of the rare blood type she possesses among the Han population. If we further classify according to A, B, O, and AB blood types, it's a probability of several ten-thousandths.
"Panda Home," this is the QQ group she created. Through this group, she continues what she considers "ordinary matters," helping others while also aiding herself.
Zhou Xiaojun, an ordinary girl from the "post-80s" generation, weighing about 50 kilograms, has donated over 4000 milliliters of "panda blood." She is a girl whose kindness and beauty flow through her veins. Online, she is known as the most beautiful "panda girl."
In 11 years, she has donated over 4000 milliliters of blood and is considered a "firefighter" for blood donation. Her farthest blood donation was on September 25th, when an elderly person with the same rare blood type needed a blood reserve. The blood center contacted Zhou Xiaojun, and she immediately responded.
According to Gansu Province Blood Center records, this was her 14th blood donation in 11 years, with 13 being whole blood donations and one being platelet donation. To date, her total blood donation exceeds 4000 milliliters.
Wang Shui Shan is the director of the Blood Recruitment Department at the Gansu Province Blood Center. Zhou Xiaojun established a deep friendship with Wang Shui Shan through multiple blood donations and donor association activities.
"Among all donors, she isn't the one who donates the most times or volume, but her blood is exceptionally precious due to its rarity, often used to save lives." Wang Shui Shan said, "What moved me more is that she didn't refuse to donate because of her rare blood type. Instead, she acts more like an 'emergency responder,' always ready to help when needed. Sometimes we hesitate to contact her, hoping to save her for the most urgent situations."
Zhou Xiaojun's blood type is RH-negative A type. According to Xue Dan Lin, Director of the Blood Recruitment Department at the Gansu Province Blood Center, only 3‰ of the Han population has RH-negative blood. Considering the A, B, O, and AB blood types, the ratio is 3:3:3:1. Therefore, if we consider both the ABO and RH blood type systems, the proportion of people like Zhou Xiaojun in the Han population is only a few ten-thousands.
Because of her more than 10无偿 donations of "panda blood," Zhou Xiaojun's story became widely known online, where media and netizens praised her as the "panda girl." However, in her view, it was just an "ordinary matter." She said, "I have this resource and can help others. It's not something I should be proud of, so why not do it?"
Several beautiful lives are touched, yet she has never contacted those she helped.
Zhou Xiaojun's first blood donation was in 2000 when she was 19 years old, studying at a middle school in Lanzhou.
"My first blood donation wasn't due to any call or appeal; it was just hearing classmates talk about donating blood regularly, so I decided to try it," Zhou Xiaojun recalled.
At that time, this young woman from a small town didn't know her blood type was the rare RH-negative. It wasn't until 2007, during a donor association event organized by the Gansu Province Blood Center, that she learned her blood type was unique.
After learning her blood type, Zhou Xiaojun felt a bit heavy-hearted, but this did not deter her from continuing to donate blood.
"She kept in touch with us, updating us on her accommodation and work address changes, especially when changing phone numbers, actively informing us to ensure we could reach her," Wang Shui Shan said. "We once built a database of 600 people like Zhou Xiaojun with RH-negative blood types, but more than half have lost contact."
Zhou Xiaojun's family is not affluent. They live in the countryside, and she has two sisters and a younger brother. After graduation, she worked at a private bookstore with modest income. Yet, she never thought of using her rare blood type to gain any advantage for herself. She even never actively contacted those who now carry her rare blood within them.
"To this day, only one patient who received my blood has contacted me. As for the others, I don't know who they are, nor do I want to contact them. I don't want them to feel indebted to me," Zhou Xiaojun said, "I've just done something ordinary. Helping others doesn't mean I need them to help or thank me in return."
Her first donation of platelets came from the urgent need of a critically ill patient requiring A-type RH-negative platelets. On October 2008, while working, she received a call from a stranger. After confirming it was from the Gansu Province Blood Center, she agreed to donate platelets.
Afterward, she adjusted her busy schedule and went to the blood center for a physical examination. Upon passing, she donated blood the next day. This was her first component donation of platelets. In the enthusiastic service of the staff, her blood passed through a complex cell separator to extract the required platelets for the patient.
"The process is more complicated and time-consuming, taking over an hour. Although I had donated whole blood many times, this was my first experience with platelet donation. There was some fear initially, and I felt slightly uncomfortable during the collection process, but I persisted," Zhou Xiaojun said.
Despite her calm demeanor when discussing these experiences, it was still her first time watching her pale blood flow through clear plastic tubes into three tightly sealed plastic bags before returning to her body. It was difficult not to feel nervous, especially for someone she had never met and would likely never contact again.
Creating the "Panda Home," she helps others while also helping herself.
As a daughter frequently donating blood, her parents inevitably worried. Like other parents, they were concerned about their daughter's nutrition and health, not fully understanding the implications of blood donation. Thus, they weren't entirely supportive of Zhou Xiaojun's repeated donations.
"In order not to worry my parents, I no longer tell them about my blood donations," Zhou Xiaojun said. "But I know that as long as I follow the guidelines at the blood donation centers, it won't harm my health. After so many donations, I haven't experienced any discomfort. As long as someone needs it and I am physically able, I will continue."
In 2010, this confident "post-80s" girl utilized an opportunity from the Gansu Province Blood Center's donor association event to collect QQ numbers of donors with similar blood types and created a QQ group called "Panda Home" to provide support through the internet.
Zhou Xiaojun said, "Ideally, everyone stays healthy. But in reality, people suffer from various illnesses and injuries. Establishing this QQ group provides another channel for help. Even casual chats can offer mutual support."
Initially, the "Panda Home" QQ group had only about 10 members, mainly consisting of RH-negative A-type blood netizens. Now it has grown to over 30 members, including RH-negative A, B, and O types. Additionally, several staff members from the Gansu Province Blood Center are part of the group, making it an important working platform.
To the outside world, she is just a small figure; in life, she is an unremarkable girl. Yet, this ordinary beauty carries purity in her veins, her blood invaluable, her kindness unassuming. This has deeply moved countless netizens.
Online, a netizen named lyqsdcn commented, "A calm and beautiful girl, truly a treasure!" Another user, "Comfort Elderly Simple Life," expressed, "Not only is she tall and elegant, but may she be blessed with happiness!"
"Helping others is also helping oneself," Wang Shui Shan said. "Whether through blood donation or creating a QQ group for rare blood types, Zhou Xiaojun helps others while securing a form of personal assurance."
With a gentle smile, her primary "task" remains to take care of herself. The maintenance and expansion of the QQ group still require assistance from the Gansu Province Blood Center staff. However, as long as conditions allow, whether raising a family or having children, her personal path of blood donation will continue.
Over 4000 milliliters, this is the amount of blood she has selflessly donated in 11 years, more than the blood currently flowing through her own body.
3‰, this is the proportion of the rare blood type she possesses among the Han population. If classified further according to A, B, O, and AB subtypes, it's a probability of several ten-thousandths.
"Panda Home," this is the QQ group she created, through which she continues what she considers "ordinary matters," helping others while also aiding herself.
