In April of this year, upon receiving a successful initial match call, Xiao Cao agreed to donate as soon as possible. His willingness to donate has received support from his parents. He also mobilized his aunt, who was a doctor, to educate and persuade his grandparents who still had concerns, dispelling their concerns, and ultimately succeeded in donating.
