Yesterday, a video titled "Policeman Filters Blood Three Times to Save a Little Life" became a hot search. Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that the policeman in the video was Li Cong from Zhuxinzhuang Police Station of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Public Transport Corps. He told Beijing Youth Daily reporter that he has been a member of China Bone Marrow Bank since 2017. The child he donated hematopoietic stem cells to save was born only 11 days after his son. In order to get enough hematopoietic stem cells for the child's surgery, Li Cong's blood was filtered three times.

Li Cong, who has been a police officer for 17 years, told the Beijing Youth Daily that he has donated blood many times since 2017.

"When I donated blood for the first time, the doctor asked me if I wanted to join the China Bone Marrow Donor Program. I thought, since the original intention is to help others, why refuse?" Li Cong said that he has not received a single request for help in the past few years since he joined the China Bone Marrow Donor Program. Until the end of May this year, Li Cong, who was on duty, received a call from the Beijing Red Cross Donation Service Center, saying that his blood sample from the China Bone Marrow Donor Program had been initially matched with a child with leukemia, and asked if he was willing to help the patient.

"Yes, of course I am willing!" Li Cong said. After hearing his straightforward answer, the doctor told him to discuss with his family before confirming whether to donate. Li Cong did not hesitate at all, "Doctor, I can make the decision on this matter. I will definitely donate." When he learned that the child was born in the same year as his son, with a birthday difference of only 11 days, Li Cong became more determined. Subsequently, Li Cong continued to increase the amount of exercise he did every day according to the doctor's requirements.

"We are all parents. I know how anxious parents are when their children are sick." After agreeing to donate, Li Cong began to think about how to "explain" to his son. It is summer vacation now, and other parents are taking their children out to play, but he has to leave home for a few days and be hospitalized in advance to inject drugs that help produce hematopoietic stem cells on time to prepare for donation.
