The girl's name is Xu Aifei. In May 2017, she suddenly received a call from the bone marrow bank of Zhejiang Province.
The staff of the Zhejiang Provincial Bone Marrow Bank told her that her bone marrow was matched with a child leukemia patient.
Xu Aifei was both nervous and excited when she learned the news. Although people around her didn't understand, she still decided to donate her bone marrow.
Xu Aifei is from Fuyang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Her father is an entrepreneur. She has lived in an environment where she has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child.
A pampered life did not allow Xu Aifei to develop a domineering personality, but instead cultivated her soft and kind heart.
She has been very kind since she was a child. When she sees the weak, she can't help but feel a desire to protect herself. The kittens and dogs on the road are her objects of protection.
Once, she learned from the Internet that children in a poor mountainous area in Sichuan could not go to school because they did not have stationery.
Kind, she immediately purchased several large boxes of books and articles and sent them to the children according to the donation address.
Usually, when she sees stray cats and dogs, she will carefully set up a nest for them and leave with confidence only after leaving food.
It is not surprising that a girl who lives in love and actively spreads love will embark on the road of donating her bone marrow.
However, there is actually another hidden truth to Xu Aifei who is keen on donating blood and bone marrow.
When she was in elementary school, a classmate from the same school had leukemia and had to temporarily leave school and go to the hospital for treatment.
The classmate's family was not well-off and could not afford the high treatment costs. After learning about it, the school called on the whole school to donate money and materials to him.
However, it is easy to raise funds, but it is even more difficult to find a matching bone marrow.
With the help of all the teachers and students in the school, the classmate raised enough for the operation, but he eventually passed away because he did not find a matching bone marrow.
This incident made Xu Aifei feel the impermanence of life for the first time. She discovered that there were things in the world that she could not buy with money. The death of her leukemia classmate touched her kind heart
After that day, Xu Aifei secretly decided to do something in the future to save those poor patients with terminal illnesses.
In the third year of high school, Xu Aifei saw a blood donation car in the blood center on the street. She immediately went home to get her ID card and went to donate blood.
This was her first time donating blood. After returning home, Xu Aifei proudly told her father about this.
The father gave her a thumbs up for her daughter, affirmed her loving behavior, and took her to a meal of Maoxuewang , saying that it can replenish blood.
From then on, Xu Aifei developed the habit of donating blood regularly. She is in good health and has not had any problems for so many years.
In 2009, while donating blood, Xu Aifei noticed that there was a staff member of the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank on the blood donation vehicle called on everyone to donate bone marrow.
staff said that as long as you collect a few milliliters of blood samples, you can enter the Chinese bone marrow bank. If you have successful pairing in the future, they will contact the incoming bankers.
Xu Aifei was very moved. If someone could really pair her successfully, it would be a good thing to save a life. After leaving a blood sample in
, Xu Aifei went home, and this "small thing" was quickly left behind by her.
On May 2, 2017, eight years after leaving a blood sample, Xu Aifei received a call from the staff of the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank.
Can all pair successfully? Feeling very lucky. "This is the first thought that popped up in Xu Aifei's mind. After
After hanging up the phone, she searched the Internet for information on donating hematopoietic stem cells and absorbed relevant knowledge.
By searching the Internet for information, Xu Aifei learned about a brand new field, and she also gained a deeper understanding of donating hematopoietic stem cells.
In people's past perception, donating bone marrow is very painful, and it often causes certain physical harm to the donor.
But in fact, the domestic donation process has been optimized now. Medical personnel generally collect hematopoietic stem cells through peripheral blood collection without extracting bone marrow.
Although this method will more or less make donors feel uncomfortable, it is not as scary as people think.
Xu Aifei thought to herself that she was just a little uncomfortable, but leukemia patients would have hope of rebirth.
She specifically asked her mother about her opinion. Like Xu Aifei, her mother thought this was a good thing and supported Xu Aifei to donate her bone marrow.
With the support of her mother, Xu Aifei had enough courage. She called the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank to confirm the donation of bone marrow.
The staff of the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank repeatedly confirmed Xu Aifei's intentions on the phone and gave her some knowledge of bone marrow donation.
staff said that in the past, the donors began to swear to donate, but they regretted it when they were about to end. This situation is a very heavy blow to patients with leukemia.
But there are also some donors who have done high-resolution matching and physical examinations, and they will only regret it when they donate soon. Bone marrow donors are benefactors for leukemia patients, so they do not have to bear all the medical expenses, while a series of costs such as high-resolution matching and physical examinations cost at least several thousand yuan, which are all borne by the patients.
Therefore, the staff of the China Bone Marrow Bank must repeatedly confirm whether Xu Aifei is fully prepared.
Xu Aifei gave a positive answer without any hesitation.
However, bone marrow transplantation is a very complicated process. It is useless for Xu Aifei to prepare psychologically. She must adjust her physical condition at the same time.
The leukemia patient who is waiting for Xu Aifei to donate his bone marrow is a 15-year-old boy weighing more than 130 pounds.
Xu Aifei was only 100 kilograms before, she was slim and could not meet the prescribed donation conditions.
In order to make the donation process go smoothly, she must gain weight, which is a big challenge for Xu Aifei, who loves beauty.
However, Xu Aifei did not retreat because of weight gain. From this day on, she began to consciously intake more energy.
In order to enhance physical fitness, Xu Aifei also insists on riding 10 to 20 kilometers every day, and performs various aerobic exercises at the same time.
Xu Aifei has always had no regrets when she did these things. In her eyes, she is responsible for a strange life.
Not long after, Xu Aifei's weight reached the standard of bone marrow donation. After high-resolution matching and physical examination, Xu Aifei's donation date was determined as September 12, 2017.
Recalling the donation process, Xu Aifei said that after confirming the donation, the one thing she did the most was to go to the hospital to get an injection.
After saying that, Xu Aifei stretched out her arm, and her delicate arms were densely covered with tiny pinholes.
Whether it is the early high-resolution matching or the later hematopoietic stem cell collection, it is inseparable from "arse needle".
State from September 8 to 11, 2017 is the time for Xu Aifei to prepare for donation. Xu Aifei has been very nervous these days.
Two "mobilization needles" per day are enough to upset her, and the doctor told her that she can only sleep for four hours a day.
The closer the days are, the more you can feel a heavy pressure pressing on your shoulders.
She was afraid that she would have adverse physical reactions, which would lead to bone marrow donation not being carried out as scheduled.
She is even more afraid of problems with bone marrow donation, which delays the best treatment time for the leukemia patients who are waiting for her.
In Xu Aifei's uneasy mood, the day for formally donating his bone marrow has finally arrived.
It's strange to say that when he was actually lying on the hospital bed, Xu Aifei's anxiety miraculously disappeared completely.
She lay calmly on her back, stretched out her arms, and asked the doctor to pierce two needles of thickness like a toothpick into her arms.
In order to ensure the effect of bone marrow collection, Xu Aifei must maintain the same posture throughout the collection process and cannot move for a moment.
Soon, she felt her arms were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and cold sweat began to appear on her forehead and nose.
This unbearable collection process lasted for 5 hours and 20 minutes before it ended. At the end, Xu Aifei felt that his arm was no longer his own.
Fortunately, Xu Aifei's bone marrow donation process went very smoothly, and she did not have any obvious pain reactions.
When I got off that bed, I felt very proud and very satisfied. "Xu Aifei said proudly. After the collection of
, the People's Hospital immediately sent Xu Aifei's hematopoietic stem cells to the hospital where the leukemia patient is located.
After learning of this news, Xu Aifei breathed a sigh of relief, as if she felt that her mission had finally been completed.
Live" Donation, Zhejiang Girls became an Internet celebrity
On the afternoon of September 12, 2017, in order to commemorate her bone marrow donation process and to let more people understand bone marrow donation, Xu Aifei shared her donation process through Weibo live broadcast, hoping to reverse people’s wrong perceptions of bone marrow donation through her own personal experience and spread bone marrow donation knowledge.

After she became a "Internet celebrity", the phone number of the Zhejiang Branch of the China Bone Marrow Bank was almost blown up by enthusiastic netizens.
More and more people are willing to leave their blood samples in bone marrow bank and donate bone marrow to leukemia patients when needed.
After learning about this, Xu Aifei was very pleased. Her hard work was not in vain.
In 2018, through the Jilin TV "Long time no see" program team, Xu Aifei also met with the "brother" who received bone marrow donation.
"'s bone marrow transplant surgery was very successful, and his physical condition was gradually recovering. As soon as he met, he knelt down and thanked Xu Aifei for her life-saving grace.
Xu Aifei quickly helped him up and said that if the "brother" needs it, she can make a second bone marrow donation at any time.
After Xu Aifei became popular, her emotional situation became one of the things that netizens talked about.
After netizens learned through various channels that Xu Aifei was single, her private mailbox was filled with love language from male netizens all over the country.
Faced with countless people's pursuit, Xu Aifei also disclosed her standards for choosing a spouse.
She said that for her, appearance is not the most important thing, she values ability, talent and sense of humor more.
Xu Aifei never deliberately pursues love. She believes in fate that goes with the flow and a love encounter at first sight.
Not long after, she really met her true destiny. The two got engaged on National Day in 2020 after a period of love.
Two months later, Xu Aifei put on a white wedding dress and walked into the marriage hall with her fiancé and became a partner.
Xu Aifei's husband has always supported her charity work. When he has time, he will join Xu Aifei and assist him.
Originally, he was not interested in volunteer activities such as blood donation, but under the influence of Xu Aifei, he also realized the great significance of this matter.
Now, Xu Aifei's husband has also begun to donate blood regularly and use his own practical actions to support Xu Aifei's charity cause.
On the road to blood donation and donation of hematopoietic stem cells, someone is accompanying me. "Xu Aifei was very moved by this.
Xu Aifei will participate in charity activities related to donating bone marrow whenever she has time, and will give a speech at the event.
She told her story over and over again, trying to reverse people's stereotypes about bone marrow donation .
Because the public does not understand bone marrow donation, bone marrow donation often faces many moral and ethical tests.
Many young donors are afraid that the elderly at home will disagree, so they often donate secretly without them. However, once the matter is exposed, it is very likely that all efforts to donate the bone marrow donation will be wasted. html l2
