Dedicate a passionate heart to painting a life of public service.

Voluntary blood donation, as a noble act of selfless dedication to saving lives and helping the injured, has long been championed and commended by society. On the morning of September 22, the mobile blood‑donation vehicle of the Lüliang Central Blood Station arrived at the headquarters of Pengfei Group, where numerous cadres and employees, embodying the “love‑filled” spirit of Pengfei, enthusiastically offered their support.

At 8:00 a.m., the area in front of the headquarters building was bustling with people. In compliance with epidemic prevention requirements and with the aim of minimizing disruption to work, more than 50 employees from Pengfei’s headquarters entered the mobile blood‑collection vehicle in staggered groups, undergoing the prescribed examinations one by one under the guidance of staff.

Whether you’ve donated blood many times or are doing so for the first time, on the scales of public service, it is always a weighty responsibility and an act of heartfelt compassion. Yet, alongside this compassion, we must also respect science.

Preparations:

1. Research blood donation preparation online to reduce anxiety.

2. Avoid staying up late and get adequate rest.

3. Have breakfast before donating blood, but avoid high-fat and high-protein foods.

4. You must be in good health, not taking any medications (such as aspirin), and have no fever.

Post-incident precautions:

Since blood accounts for about 8% of body weight, a healthy person who donates 400 milliliters of blood will not experience any adverse effects on daily life or work. On the day of donation, avoid working at heights and refrain from staying up late; drink plenty of water and eat more vegetables and fruits.

Who is suitable to donate and who is not:

1. Physicians conduct physical examinations for healthy individuals to screen for conditions such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and they also inquire about any symptoms or discomfort.

2. Individuals who fail the blood test.

Voluntary blood donation not only demonstrates compassion but also offers significant health benefits. Moderate blood donation can stimulate hematopoiesis, accelerate the production of blood cells, and enhance metabolic processes, thereby reducing blood viscosity and helping to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Moreover, in accordance with relevant national regulations, once an individual’s cumulative blood donations reach 800 milliliters, they become a lifelong recipient of free blood, and their family members are entitled to receive an equivalent amount of blood.

Voluntary blood donation provides individuals with an opportunity and a platform to express their compassion, fully embodying a new kind of relationship characterized by mutual care, affection, and assistance. It has become a bond that unites humanity through shared kindness.

Tomorrow, the mobile blood donation vehicle will head to each of Pengfei Group’s production sites, where hundreds of volunteers will once again lend a helping hand. Let’s give a big thumbs-up to Pengfei’s spirit of compassion.
