Chinanews, Shanghai, Oct. 16 – A college student who happened to learn from an online article that a pregnant woman whose blood type belonged to the very rare AB Rh negative blood needed to take blood transfusion1 traveled 2,000 kilometers from Hangzhou to Liping County in Guizhou to donate her blood to the woman, the Oriental Morning Post reported.

 

Since the 20-year-old female student was only 1.55 meters high and weighed less than 44 kilograms, she fainted for a while during the blood transfusion. However, when she regained2 consciousness, she asked the doctor to continue the blood transfusion process. After she donated her blood to the woman, the student refused to reveal her identity to the public. However, a staff member at Liping Publicity3 Department disclosed the issue on local media under a pseudonym4.

 

The girl, Mao Chenbing，was a junior student at the Art Design Vocational School under the China Academy of Art. The school awarded Mao for her brave act.

 

On the evening of September 14, Mao happened to read a message sent by one of her online friends named “the life of the death sea” saying that a pregnant woman in the Liping People's Hospital had suffered from massive haemorrhage because of ectopic pregnancy5. The woman was in a coma6 and badly needed a blood transfusion. Her blood type was the AB Rh negative blood…

 

“After reading the article, my first response was that I needed to help her,” Mao recalled afterwards. Having decided7 to travel to Guizhou, she told her plan to two of her closest friends and borrowed some money from them.

 

She first took a train to Shanghai then flew to Guiyang. After arriving at Guiyang, she spent ten hours on the bus to arrive at Liping People's Hospital on the evening of September 16.

 

After confirming that her blood type matched that of the pregnant woman, the doctor at Liping People's Hospital suggested that Mao donate 200 ml of blood first. However, Mao insisted on donating 400 ml of blood at a time.

 

After donating 100 ml of her blood, Mao nearly fainted. The doctor suspended the process and gave Mao some sugar water to drink. After resting for an hour, Mao asked the doctor to continue the blood transfusion process. However, after donating another 240 ml of blood, Mao fainted again. When she regained her consciousness, she once again asked the doctor to go on with the transfusion process.

 

All the blood donated by Mao was finally transfused8 into the body of Yang Changhua, the pregnant woman. Now, Yang has recovered from her illness. She is able to do farm work now.
