Lu Mingyu, a 37-year-old worker in Wendeng, Shandong Province, has moved many Chinese with her selfless deeds of donating hemopoietic stem cells twice to a leucocythemia patient.

In May 2010, Lu registered as a volunteer when the Red Cross in Wendeng recruited voluntary donors of hemopoietic stem cells. In 2011, Lu was informed that her blood matched with a leucocythemia patient in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. She donated her hemopoietic stem cells to the patient, becoming the first one in the city of Wendeng, on April 12, 2011. In September 2011 when Lu's family was making plans for the upcoming National Day holiday, she was informed that the patient's immunity declined and her life was in danger. Lu donated her lymphocyte in October and saved the woman's life in time.

"It's totally worthy to use my pain and body to save a women's life. The behavior itself brings enormous happiness for me. If there is a chance, I believe many would do the same as I did," she said.
