The most unforgettable experience of a leukemia patient urgently seeking blood. In response to Wu Yong's actions, his wife and daughter once had doubts. After weaning, how long does it take for breast enlargement? However, Wu Yong's love gradually infected them. His daughter, who works in Shanghai, even voluntarily joined the ranks of voluntary blood donation and expressed her support for her father's loving actions online.
Wu Yong comes from the Medical Association of Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province. Since January 6, 1999, he has been donating blood voluntarily. In the past 13 years, Wu Yong has participated in voluntary blood donation 104 times. In the first 11 times, he donated 4200 milliliters of whole blood; since September 2004, he switched to donating platelets. Including the one unit of platelets donated yesterday in Changsha, he has donated 98 units of platelets so far. According to relevant provisions of the "Blood Donation Law" issued by the state in 1999, donating one therapeutic dose of platelets is equivalent to donating 800 milliliters of blood. According to this regulation, Wu Yong's cumulative number of voluntary blood donations has reached 413 times, with a total blood volume equivalent to 82,600 milliliters, which is equivalent to the total blood volume of 17 adults.

"The Blood Donation Champion" Wu Yong hopes to mobilize more caring individuals to donate blood with his meager strength. The real culprit turned himself in a year after an innocent youth was wrongly convicted of murder and served a 9-year sentence. This situation highlights the urgent need to alleviate the tight supply of blood in various places. A nationwide survey on drinking during the Spring Festival shows that Beijing people like to drink the most while Chongqing people can hold their liquor the best. Photographed by Kuang Chunlin.
Report (by reporter Kuang Chunlin): He is over forty, yet his blood flows passionately. Upon learning about the recent shortage of clinical blood supply in Changsha, he drove for 18 hours to participate in voluntary blood donation in Changsha. Yesterday, Wu Yong, the well-known "blood donation champion" from Huai'an, Jiangsu, solemnly donated one unit of platelets (equivalent to 800 milliliters of whole blood) at the Changsha Blood Center. As a result, Wu Yong set a new record in his voluntary blood donation journey: donating blood 104 times, with a total blood volume equivalent to 82,600 milliliters, which is equivalent to the total blood volume of 17 adults.

Wu Yong's blood type is A. In the blood inventory of various places, A-type and O-type blood are both in high demand due to large surgical usage, often leading to shortages during periods of tight blood inventory. What Wu Yong finds most unforgettable is that after one blood donation, he accidentally learned that his blood would become the "lifesaving blood" for a 5-year-old leukemia patient. "After donating blood so many times, this is the first time I feel how urgent and precious blood is for people," Wu Yong said.
To date, Wu Yong's footsteps have covered 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu and 13 municipalities and provincial capitals such as Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai. "I hope to visit all provincial capitals before the age of 55 to call on more kind-hearted people to join the ranks of voluntary blood donation and alleviate the constantly occurring blood shortages in various places." Wu Yong, who owns 40 blood donation certificates from all over the country, said.
Wu Yong does not make grandiose statements. Whenever someone asks him why he donates so much blood, he always firmly says: "Because donating blood can save lives."
