Vampire Kiss

“In the afternoon [May 15, 2012], I paid a visit to the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank [in 北京 (Běijīng)] and received the most basic training. It turns out that donating bone marrow is equivalent to donating hematopoietic stem cells. There are three collection methods: bone marrow blood, peripheral blood and umbilical cord blood. The second method is the most beneficial to both donors and patients. Its collection method is similar to that of blood components. According to latest statistics, only 1.47 million of over a billion Chinese have joined the ranks of volunteers. I hope everyone will actively participate, so as to make more patients and families feel happy again!”, 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) said. Photos courtesy of her herself.
