Can you cut your hair and donate it to your waist?

In early spring, we once again experienced "the coldest winter in history", and the sharp spring breeze wrapped the chill from Siberia. After the Lantern Festival, the breath of the New Year has not been exhausted, and an old story has once again exploded the circle of friends, causing ripples and warming the long-lost heart.

In 20 15, Christian McAfee Lamy, an 8-year-old boy from Florida, spent two years growing long hair, cut off his accumulated 30cm hair and donated it to charity to make wigs for cancer children. The boy's kindness beyond his age spread quickly and touched many netizens.

Although the whole hair storage process is quite difficult, during this time, he experienced a lot of ridicule and even bullying, and was ridiculed by other children as "you are a little girl." Adults are also puzzled by his practice, and some relatives and friends have to pay him to cut off his long hair. However, McAfee Lamy never wavered in his belief. Whenever this happens, he will patiently explain to others why he did it. Mehrami's mother said: "He never gave up his goal, always persisted, and was always willing to take the time to explain to people around him why he chose to have long hair. I am proud to have such a son. It is reported that in the past donations, donations from children were only one fiftieth.

The charity that collects hair is called children? With what? Hair? Loss(CWHL), Chinese name "children with alopecia", has a history of 16 years. It provides wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer or other accidental injuries, and does not charge any fees to children or their families who receive wigs. Now, CWHL serves more than 300 children every year.

Warm stories make people feel warm. Although it is not chicken soup, it also makes people curious: Is there a similar love transfer in China? Turning to history, in fact, we have all been so moved.

20 13 years, Renren. com. Com published an article entitled "How about donating my long hair to my waist?" The author Zhang Ya described his experience of cutting off his long hair that he had left for nearly four years and sending it to the Canadian Cancer Foundation to make wigs for children who lost their hair during cancer treatment. On June+10 of that year, the day before Zhang Ya's birthday, she asked her schoolmate for help, cut her waist-length hair, divided it into three bundles, put it in a sealed bag and sent it to the Canadian Cancer Foundation to make a wig.

But in an interview, Zhang Ya couldn't help but express his embarrassment: "In fact, I really want to donate it to China Cancer Foundation and other places, but it's a pity that there are no related projects in Chinese mainland. Dad suggested that I write this story down. Perhaps many people have inquired that there will be one in the mainland in the future. " According to the data, since the end of last century, the United States, Canada and other countries have launched public welfare projects to donate hair for cancer patients. Beautiful in America? Length? Hair? The donation website sponsored by Pan Ting is dedicated to helping female cancer patients and donating wigs for them. It is reported that the cost of making a wig for cancer patients is $65,438+0,800, but the cost can be reduced to $245 by using donated hair.

However, the embarrassment didn't last long, and the deep warmth soon spread to China. 20 14, Li Jiawen, a student of Shanghai International Studies University, and his friends Wei Yaner and Wang Suruo launched the "Moss Campaign" to donate money for cancer patients. Call on people to donate their hair, make wigs and donate them to patients with cancer, chemotherapy and alopecia.

Surprisingly, in less than a year, this "Green Silk Action" initiated by student organizations has cooperated with universities such as Tsinghua, Peking University, Zhejiang University, Shanghai International Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University, and the affiliated middle school of Shanghai International Studies University, and more and more students have joined it. On 20/0/5, with the support of China Cancer Foundation, a series of activities such as "Love Crazy" charity cycling and Lujiazui on-site donation were held. In just a few months, I donated 600 bundles of hair. In that year, the first batch of 22 bunches of hair was sent to the partner China Cancer Foundation, and the wig will be made by the Foundation. At the same time, the promoters of the "Qingsi Action" expanded their audience to a wider range by building new media platforms such as WeChat "Qingsi Xing Dong" and Sina Weibo @ Qingsi Action.

Yes, it is still alive and growing.

Love is passing, and the power of the medical system is never absent. With the enthusiasm of the domestic public for donations. During the "National Cancer Prevention Publicity Week" from April 38, 2065 to April 2004, the Patient Service Center of Cancer Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences initiated the donation of wigs and headscarves for patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This is the first time that domestic hospitals have carried out similar donation activities, and hospitals have listed it as a long-term donation project.

On August 8th, 20 14, Cancer Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences continued to hold the donation activity of "Fashion starts from scratch, wigs convey love". * * * Seven volunteers donated hair to the hospital. Among them, an 80-year-old Liu Ling solemnly donated her long hair which has been treasured for 50 years. It turns out that in the late spring of 1959, Liu Ling, who was studying in Leningrad, Soviet Union, asked his classmates to cut a long braid for him above the waist in the dormitory, wrapped it carefully with a silk scarf and put it carefully in a box as a souvenir of his youth. More than 50 years have passed, and two braids have accompanied her to the north and south. Ms. Liu read in the newspaper that there was a donation activity in the hospital, so she dug out this "precious souvenir" from the bottom of her box and entrusted it to her daughter. According to her daughter, Ms. Liu Ling was knocked down by cancer. Fortunately, she was found in time and her condition did not spread. After the operation, she received radiotherapy and is now in good health. Liu Ling said that she especially hoped that the wig made of her own hair would bring confidence to her sisters who are undergoing chemotherapy and make them live happily every day.

Love is still passing and snowballing. In 20 15, China cancer foundation, national cancer center and other institutions jointly launched a large-scale public welfare activity with the theme of "helping cancer patients and passing on the beauty of life". On June 65438+1October 1 1 day of that year, the live activity of "Cutting for Love" will be held in Beijing East District Cancer Hospital. The organizing committee will invite 100 hair stylists as volunteers to cut the hair of 100 "angels of love" to support and encourage cancer patients with practical actions. The hair collected at the scene will be made into wigs and donated to 100 female cancer patients for free to help them regain their luster and feel the warmth and strength from the whole society.

The event attracted Jane Zhang, Marbury and Yang Mi? Tang Yan, Ray Ma, Zhou Qun, Han Dong, Lemon, Hugh, Kenny Lin, Ryan, Luo Jin, Jingning, Rulu, Jing Boran and other more than 20 celebrities in the entertainment circle supported activities in different forms and sent blessings to cancer patients.
