Things have to start from 1996, 10 on June 26th. Early in the morning, Su Dawei heard the news from the radio that "the blood source in Wuxi downtown blood station is in urgent need", and he had a strong desire in his heart: I want to donate blood to save my life! He rushed from home to the blood donation activity in the city hungry. He didn't feel tired after running back and forth for more than 30 kilometers; He didn't regret not paying a penny; Holding the first bright red blood donation card, he felt glorious; He was gratified to think that his own blood could save other people's lives. This is the first blood donation in his life. Since then, it has been out of control, and blood donation has been made at least twice a year. 15. So far, the total blood donation has reached more than 9000 ml, which is equivalent to the total blood of two adults. According to the need of blood for clinical rescue, his blood is enough to save 30 fresh lives.
Su Dawei often said: "I can't save a few lives by donating blood alone. Everyone can donate blood to save more people. " Su Dawei first mobilized his family. He often talks with his wife about his painful experiences. His father died when he was a minor, and later his mother remarried. He must take care of his elderly grandmother and young sister. Without the care of the party and the help of everyone, there would be no good day today. He said to his wife, "life is good now, but we can't forget our responsibilities." We should repay the society with the charity of donating blood for free. " How many brave words are eclipsed by a plain and affectionate word. The wife understands and supports her husband, not only participates in blood donation for free, but also goes back to her parents' house to mobilize her brother and sister-in-law to participate. Under the influence of his father, his son, who just turned 18 years old the year before last, also participated in voluntary blood donation. What's more, all three of them volunteered to donate hematopoietic stem cells, and their blood samples all entered the database of hematopoietic stem cells in China.
At the beginning of his voluntary blood donation, he knew little about voluntary blood donation in rural areas, and there were still misunderstandings and fears. In order to let more people know the common sense of blood donation and encourage more people to join the volunteer team, Su Dawei devoted more enthusiasm and energy to the publicity of blood donation, and he was determined to hold a public welfare exhibition of blood donation.
In the spring of 2002, with enthusiasm and tenacity, he went to Shanghai, Nanjing and Xuzhou, visited blood stations and Red Cross Societies in six or seven surrounding cities, and collected information on voluntary blood donation. A staff member of a blood station said doubtfully, "That is an open matter. It is impossible for ordinary farmers to hold exhibitions at their own expense. " Su Dawei was not discouraged. In order to meet the leader of the blood bank who was away on business, he waited around for three whole days. When the blood station leader came back to know the truth, he held Su Dawei's hand tightly, repeatedly said "I'm sorry" and immediately gave him the pictures and information. The leaders of the Shanghai Red Cross Society were deeply moved by his sincerity and generously presented the only set of pictures of three generations of party and state leaders participating in blood donation.
On May 5, 2002, Su Dawei exhibited 22 large-scale ink-jet exhibition boards in Yaohan Square, which cost him more than 1000 yuan. This is the first non-profit public welfare exhibition held by individuals at their own expense in Wuxi, attracting crowds of citizens to watch. Since then, Su Dawei has visited Wuxi urban and rural areas 36 times and made a statement with his blood donation experience for more than ten years, which has aroused strong repercussions in society. Every time he exhibited, he rented his own car, carried it himself and explained it himself. Although he was bitter and tired, he didn't hesitate. Repairing the car was delayed and selling peaches was delayed, but he had no regrets. Concerns and fears have been dispelled, and many young people deeply moved by Su Dawei's unpaid blood donation have joined the blood donation volunteer team. Today, more than 65,438+000 workers participated in the volunteer service team for farmers' blood donation set up by Su Dawei, which is the first blood donation team in Wuxi and even Jiangsu Province and has become a beautiful scenery on the blood donation front.
In the face of achievements, Su Dawei was not intoxicated. He vacated half his home, spent more than 20,000 yuan to renovate it, and set up the first farmers exhibition hall in Wuxi-Dawei Exhibition Hall, which was open to the public free of charge and attracted many foreign tourists. Dawei Exhibition Hall was also named "Red Cross Publicity and Education Base" by Wuxi Civilization Office and Red Cross Society. At that time, he made a living by repairing bicycles, earning only a few thousand yuan a year, and his wife worked in a village-run enterprise, only a few thousand yuan a year. When he goes out to work, he often fills his stomach with lunch boxes and instant noodles. An old bicycle travels all over the world, but with a fiery heart and persistent strength, he walks firmly and happily on the road of his recognition without regrets. On the afternoon of April 28th, 2007, Ms. Jiang Yiman, Executive Vice President and Party Secretary of China Red Cross Society, made a special trip to watch the exhibition, and praised Su Dawei 10 for her persistence in Red Cross volunteer activities for many years. She held Su Dawei's hand tightly and said, "Thank you, you spread the spirit of volunteerism to thousands of households and every corner of the surrounding countryside."
