September 11th

Zhuhai University of Science and Technology

2020 students in the School of Computer Science

Dubebe, who is about to turn 21 in just over two months

Successfully completed the donation of hematopoietic stem cells

Used to rescue a person

Urgent need for transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells to continue life

5-year-old child

This day

Dubebe received a letter

Simultaneously entrusting hospital staff

Transferred a previously written letter from oneself

Before donation

September 9th

Facing children who have never met in the distance

Du Beibei wrote a letter to the children

And sign "Love your sister"

At this point, Dubebe still doesn't know

The child's mother also wrote a letter to her

When it is learned that the donor has passed the medical examination

And agree to donate stem cells

The child's mother gave Dubebe

I wrote a thank-you letter

"I don't know how to address you,",

I only know that you are a 21-year-old girl,

So let's call you a little hero! "

The letter states:

I have seen the most beautiful side of human nature from you, which has made me deeply feel the preciousness of life and the power of love.

This little life has experienced unimaginable pain and hardships that ordinary people cannot imagine. Since his birth one year ago, he has been fighting against diseases, from Burkitt lymphoma to juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, undergoing multiple chemotherapy and surgeries. He is already five years old this year, and his childhood should have been full of laughter and joy. However, in recent years, he can only travel back and forth between the hospital and renting a house, enduring tremendous pain and suffering. Even so, the children still maintain an optimistic and strong spirit. They never cry after taking medication and injections, which makes us, as parents, feel immensely sorry and admired.

In May of this year, when the doctor informed us that a second hematopoietic stem cell transplant was needed, we felt very helpless and confused. However, we are extremely excited and delighted to learn that we have successfully matched you in the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank. This is a wonderful fate that brought us together, but our hearts are also uneasy because we need to seek your consent, whether you are willing to undergo a medical examination, and whether you are willing to donate after passing the examination, all of which are unknown.

When we received notification from the doctor that you had passed the medical examination and agreed to donate stem cells to save this little life, as parents of the child, we were truly grateful. At the same time, we were also very excited, nervous, excited, and looking forward to it. Because for us, your presence has reignited the light of hope in this little life!

September 2021

Just an adult Dubebe

Participated in blood donation on campus

And leave a blood sample to be added to the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank

Becoming a volunteer for hematopoietic stem cell donation

What I was thinking at the time was,

Maybe it can help others

July 19th this year

She interned alone in a strange city

Received notification of successful initial configuration

This news couldn't help but make her feel a bit nervous

Because she doesn't understand the process of donation

I also don't know what impact it will have on my body

hence

She began to search for information related to donations

After gaining a comprehensive understanding of the donation process

Decide to donate

"I can't find any reason to refuse"

After receiving the news of successful initial configuration

Dubebe actively cooperates with the physical examination

Adjusting daily routine, diet, and lifestyle habits

Except for avoiding spicy, greasy, and cold foods

A regular schedule is very important

But for her poor sleep quality

It's the biggest challenge

For this reason, she quit coffee

Entering a sleep state early

To ensure adequate sleep to the greatest extent possible

Due to the high probability of donation occurring during the physiological period

The doctor also asked her if she needed to postpone the donation date

But considering the patient's situation

Dubebe still chooses to stick to the original plan

I don't want him to wait too long,

I hope he can get better soon

Although daily injections do hurt,

The potassium chloride to drink before collection is indeed very bitter,

But I'm not afraid of injections or hardships,

The entire donation process was also relatively smooth

Before formal donation, blood pressure measurement, blood drawing, and

A series of processes such as injecting mobilization agents

The collection process is also very lengthy

But Dubebe persisted

When I decided to complete this task,

I just think it's a small matter.

In the process of helping the unfamiliar child,

I am also receiving great healing myself

She stated that

During the donation process

From staff to nurses and doctors

They have provided her with meticulous care and encouragement

School, parents, and good friends

They also gave her a lot of care and support

Recalling the entire process, Dubebe said

"Perhaps my stem cells are a very important part of it.",

But in order to save a life,

There are many people putting in effort,

"Grateful to everyone who strives for this great cause"
