"If I only have three days left, I want to eat a lot of delicious food, drink milk tea, play games, and... eat well and sleep well and love myself, love my parents. If my parents still work hard, then what is the point of growing up? To live enthusiastically and freely, we must make up our minds and work hard to pursue everything we want." On September 13, due to a sudden accident, the 21-year-old girl Liu Jiali, who was declared brain dead after the rescue was ineffective, completed the donation of the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and cornea at the Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital. From then on, these organs of her will play a role in five people, allowing two people to see the light again and saving seven families.
For Liu Jiali's parents, donating their daughter's human organs was the hardest decision they had ever made, but they wanted to pass on their hope of life. "This is also the daughter's wish. She had long had the idea of organ donation, and we also learned from her university articles later. I respect her decision. Helping a life is equivalent to helping a family." Liu Jiali's father said.

Liu Jiali’s family still did not wait for a miracle. After her parents stayed in the intensive care unit for more than a month, the unconscious daughter never woke up again, and her parents accepted the bad news in grief.
It is understood that Liu Jiali is 21 years old and is from Jiaozhou, Qingdao. She majored in electrical engineering at Yingkou University of Science and Technology. She is her parents' "caring little cotton jacket". She is always enthusiastic and helpful, sensible and sensible in daily life. Liu Jiali has always been the pride of her parents, with excellent academic performance, and the certificates of the family are hung all over the walls. "She is usually a delicate child, very kind and filial. Every time she comes back from the holiday, she has to visit the elderly at home. As the eldest daughter of the family, she will also take good care of the younger brothers and sisters at home. This year we took a family photo together, but it turned out to be the last souvenir." Recalling every bit of her daughter and thinking of being separated from her daughter forever, Liu Jiali's father was filled with tears. Liu Jiali's father told reporters that his daughter rarely worries them. He also has a sister at home. Because the couple is usually busy with work, Liu Jiali learned to do housework very early. "Washing laundry, cooking, tutoring her sister's studies. As long as Jiali is at home, these are all her work. Sometimes when my child's mother and I come back a day when we are tired, we can always eat the hot meals made by her daughter. These are the most daily happiness now. I would never feel them anymore. I originally said that I would take my sister to the beach to play in a few days." Liu Jiali's father recalled his daughter's face and cried again, "The child has been in a coma for more than a month. We have been waiting at the door of the intensive care unit. We are looking forward to a miracle happening every day. It is difficult for mothers to accept this fact now."

reporter learned that Liu Jiali usually has the habit of writing diaries, and the thick notebook has now become her last souvenir for her family. "The incident happened too suddenly. I don't want to read her diary now. My child's mother cried every time. As the pillar of the family, I can't fall down."
"... Then talk to them and tell her sister not to make her parents angry. They work hard and should be filial to them. Finally, I told my parents that I would donate organs, which is equivalent to continuing to live in another way." This is a passage from Liu Jiali's article "If I only have three days left" written by her in college. "It felt like the sky was falling at that time." Liu Jiali's father said that when she decided to donate organs, her daughter had been in the ICU. The doctor came over to tell her that she had been brain-dead and had no hope of treatment. "I saw an article she wrote in college. In it, she said that she wanted to donate organs, which was also my daughter's wish. My wife and I also felt that this was the continuation of life. My daughter could live in this world in another way and save so many people," he said.
is such a kind and filial girl. She died unfortunately because of an accident at the age of flowers, which made her family fall into heavy sadness. Every time I recall the scenes before, Liu Jiali's parents couldn't help but cry.
Enthusiastic charity on weekdays
is an active volunteer in the school
Liu Jiali's boyfriend Xiao Song is from Northeast China. After Liu Jiali's accident, he stayed in Qingdao, took online classes during the day, and went to the hospital to guard the hospital in the afternoon. He prayed with Liu Jiali's parents that a miracle happened.
Xiao Song recalled that they met for more than a year. Liu Jiali, who had excellent academic performance, met him as the class director. In my impression, Liu Jiali was a kind girl who loved charity. "When she had time on weekends, she would go to the nursing home to help, and participated in volunteer activities to care for autistic children. Later, the teacher asked her to be the captain of the volunteer team," Xiao Song told reporters, "She is a very gentle girl. She is good at studying, considerate and positive. We both major in the same major, often study in the library together, and have planned the future. We agreed to come to Qingdao to work and live together after graduation. Recently, she always went to the hospital to see her. I couldn't accept it. I didn't expect her to have a sudden accident." Xiao Song talked about Liu Jiali covering her face and sobbing several times. Xiao Song also said that Liu Jiali is usually a frugal girl and is generous to her family and friends. She always wanted to travel to Chongqing, so Xiao Song secretly saved money and wanted to take her to surprise her. The money was saved up immediately, but Liu Jiali failed the appointment.
reporter learned that Liu Jiali once wanted to donate blood, but due to her anemia, she could not complete it. Under the influence of Liu Jiali, Xiao Song also registered as an organ donation volunteer. "Now I feel that health and safety are the most important. If I can bring hope to the desperate family, then my life will also have meaning."

"We have seen many reports of organ donating before the end of our lives in the media reports, and during my daughter's hospitalization, many relatives and friends around us helped us. Especially many strangers donated money to my daughter, which made us feel warm and kind. So I also want to do something to give back to the society, donate her organs, help more people, and pass on this love." Liu Jiali's father said. "Because we are experiencing the pain of losing our loved ones, we hope that Jiali's life can be continued in another way through organ donation, so that it can bring hope for life to other families who are deeply suffering from illness."
Hospital talk room
At 9:29 am on September 13, Jiali left us. Under the joint witness of Qingdao Red Cross Organ Donation Coordinator and Qingda Affiliated Hospital Organ Donation Coordinator, the medical staff of Qingda Affiliated Hospital bowed deeply in the operating room to pay tribute, and Liu Jiali's organ acquisition surgery was successfully carried out. After the distribution of multiple organs of the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys she donated through the human organ donation computer distribution system, it has been successfully transplanted to five patients with organ failure. The donated cornea will also bring the light again to two patients with eye diseases. The fallen life became magnificent, and Liu Jiali completed a noble "life relay".
As of now, 1,137 organs have been donated in the city
Cai Jinzhen, deputy dean of Qingdao University Medical Group and director of the Organ Transplantation Center of Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital, introduced that at present, hundreds of thousands of patients with organ failure in my country are waiting for organ transplantation surgery, and the supply-demand ratio of organs available for transplantation is about 1:30, which is far from meeting the needs of patients. There is no absolute age limit for human organ donation, which mainly depends on whether the donor meets the conditions for organ donation. In Cai Jinzhen's view, for patients who are eager to get an organ transplant, the current donation is far from enough. Many lives are still waiting for it. Some patients left the world while waiting.
In order to actively promote organ donation, the city’s Red Cross system cooperated closely with Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital, Qingdao University Medical Department, Qingdao Ophthalmology Hospital and other units. By creating a “Big Love Without Borders” donor information platform, opening an online donation registration channel, and setting up "September Love Post" in major medical institutions, which greatly facilitates citizens to handle donation procedures. The "September Angel" public welfare brand has become a representative of the donation cause. The donation work has been gradually improved, and the number of donations has increased year by year. It has gradually established the "Qingdao model" of organ donation with Chinese regional characteristics, which has been recognized by the whole country and even the world. As of September 13, 2022, the city has registered donation of 6,326 volunteers through the "Borderless Love - Devote Information Platform", 1,124 bodies have been donated, 1,814 corneals have been donated, and more than 3,600 corneal blinders have been donated again, 1,137 organs have been donated, and more than 3,000 organ failure have been treated.
According to Zhang Shaoqin, director of the Development Department of Qingdao Red Cross Society, citizens can register for cornea donation of remains organs through the following channels: First, online registration is carried out through the official website of Qingdao Red Cross Society "Big Love - Devote Information Platform". The second is to bring the original ID card to the Red Cross Society in the nearby districts and cities to handle the procedures on site. The third is to handle the "September Angel" Love Post in the outpatient hall of Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital, Qingdao Municipal Hospital, Qingdao Ophthalmology Hospital, and Shandong University Qilu Hospital.
