Enthusiastic about public welfare and actively participating in various volunteer services

In 2008, Saturday Mei accidentally saw a blood collection vehicle at the then Beiqiao Health Center with the slogan "Donate Renewable Blood. With this eye-catching slogan, “Save lives that cannot be repeated”, at that moment, she boarded the blood collection vehicle without hesitation. Since then, she has donated blood every six months, 400 ml each time. So far, two blood donation certificates record her 19 unpaid blood donations, with a cumulative blood donation volume of 7,000 ml. The total blood donation amount has long exceeded the blood volume in a normal adult's body.

Every year in early May and early November, it is the day when Saturday girls donate blood. She would take Route 83 from Beiqiao early in the morning and transfer from bus to taxi. More than two hours later, she was sitting in the lobby of the blood station in the city center, rolling up her sleeves. During the blood donation in 2014, maybe it was because of her age or poor physical condition. Not long after the blood collection needle was inserted, Zhou Zuomei felt a little dizzy. She didn't say anything, thinking to hold on and it was over quickly. 10 minutes later , Saturday girl felt dizzy and fainted.

In 2017, Zhou Zuomei, who was nearly 60 years old, saw that she was getting older and the day was getting closer and closer to the day when she could no longer donate blood. She was a little anxious and thought of donating platelets. On February 27, she came to the Suzhou Central Blood Station to donate platelets. Because she was older and it was her first time, she became more and more unwell while giving the blood donation. The staff of the blood station rushed over and asked with concern: "Auntie, if you can't bear it, just forget it!" But Saturday sister persevered and successfully donated the blood. Got my first platelet.

In the past few years, Zhou Zuomei’s family members have constantly advised her not to donate anymore. However, she said that the upper age limit for voluntary blood donation is 60 years old, and she must donate until she can no longer donate. In November 2017, on the eve of her 60th birthday, Zhou Zuomei completed the last voluntary blood donation in her life.

Saturday girl’s charity deeds don’t stop there. As the leader of the Red Cross Society of Xiangcheng District, she and her friends will visit those over 80 years old during major festivals such as the Double Ninth Festival and the Spring Festival. body donation volunteers, caring about their physical condition, chatting with them about daily life, and sending holiday blessings and spiritual care. Liumei said with emotion: "Today's elderly people are very lonely. Their children are too busy and have no time to accompany them. We try to visit them as much as possible. If there is someone to talk to them, they will be very happy."

She I want to donate my body "a hundred years later"

Saturday girl said that as early as when she was young, she had the idea of ??donating her body to the medical cause "a hundred years later". Her grandfather died of nasal cancer at the age of 28, her father passed away at the age of 49, and her brother suffered from aplastic anemia. The illness and early death of relatives virtually strengthened Liumei's belief in donating her body.

In 2009, Saturday girl accidentally learned from the news that Suzhou was recruiting volunteers for body donation. She hurriedly called the city’s Red Cross Society and inquired about the procedures for body donation.

Since donation must be signed by immediate family members, Zhou Zuomei had already made up her mind, but her daughter couldn't resist her, so she finally gave in.

On April 9, 2009, accompanied by her daughter, Saturday sister rushed to the city’s Red Cross Society and signed an agreement to voluntarily donate her body. She felt deeply honored with the “Voluntary Body Donation Memorial Certificate” . "After a hundred years, if I give useful parts to others, it will be equivalent to me still being alive." Zhoumei said openly.

Not only does she practice it herself, but she also often encourages people around her to participate in voluntary body donation activities. When her neighbor Zou Zhifang learned about her actions, she was deeply moved and became a volunteer in May 2013. Donate volunteers. Inspired by her, many people in the community joined in the donation process.

"Nosy" and always responsive to others' requests

In the eyes of neighbors, Saturday Girl is an enthusiastic "nosy" old man. She is absolutely responsive to other people's needs.

At the end of October 2014, a 5-year-old girl fell from the balcony of the 11th floor in the Caohu Xingchen Garden Community where Zhou Liumei lived and was seriously injured. After Zhou Zuomei learned about the situation, she found the community committee and donated the reward for being named one of the "Top Ten Newcomers in Xiangcheng District" that year. In June 2016, Yancheng suffered dual disasters from strong hail and tornadoes. Zhoumei saw the news on TV and drove to the Xiangcheng District Civil Affairs Bureau to donate 1,000 yuan to the district charity association for the reconstruction of the disaster area. Liumei said: "I know the money is insignificant to the disaster area, but this is my little thought."

On the morning of February 20, 2017, Zou Zhifang, a 90-year-old man from Shengnan Community, Beiqiao Street, Xiangcheng District He died of bone cancer and eventually donated his body for medical research. In the last days of the old man, Saturday girl played a decisive role. As a neighbor of Mr. Zou, she not only took care of the old man selflessly for five years, but at the same time, Mr. Zou was infected by her spirit of selfless dedication and volunteered to join the body donation ranks.

Zou Zhifang is an elderly person living alone and lives in a unit next to Saturday Sister. When she was alive, whenever she mentioned Liumei, Zou Zhifang would say emotionally: "I will never be able to repay the debt I owe her in my lifetime."

It turned out that one day in December 2012, Zou Zhifang suddenly fell to the ground. And kept vomiting. Zou Zhifang dialed Saturday's sister's phone number to ask for help, and Saturday's sister ran to Uncle Zou's house. When she opened the door and saw that the old man had fallen to the ground, the ground was in a mess. Liu Zhoumei hurriedly helped Mr. Zou onto the bed and put on clean clothes. After washing the clothes and tidying up the house, I left with peace of mind. Before leaving, Zhou Zuomei repeatedly told Mr. Zou that he could come to her if he needed anything, and she would always be there for him.

Since then, Saturday sister often helped Mr. Zou with housework. If there was anything delicious, she would specially prepare an extra portion. From time to time, the two families became more affectionate than relatives. Zou Zhifang also prepared an extra house key for Saturday sister to keep. On April 2, 2014, Zou Zhifang was hospitalized for surgery. On Saturday, her family took turns serving at the hospital bed for a whole week. "Every time I get sick or hospitalized, I have to trouble Liu Mei and her family. I don't know how to be grateful." Zou Zhifang said at the time that he was lucky to have such a neighbor. Because he couldn't let go of this neighborly relationship, he even refused to go to Shanghai to live with his daughter.

Slow sister took good care of Mr. Zou for five years until the last moment of his life. Before the old man left, Mr. Zou bowed his hands and said to Saturday Sister: "Thank you for coming to see me." This "thank you" not only expressed Uncle Zou's deepest gratitude to Saturday Sister, but also was his last farewell to her. She said: "Old man Zou is an old man who lives alone and has many inconveniences in his life. These are all of my own free will and should be done, because I firmly believe that helping neighbors means making myself happy."

Yes, Sister Saturday She always said that these good people and good deeds in the eyes of others may be convenient for others, but in fact it is herself who benefits in the end. Every time she pays, she gains happiness.
