Volunteer saves life across Straits

Lu Xiaojun, 22, an ethnic Miao minority member from a farmer's family in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, probably never thought he would make national headlines.

But that's exactly what happened yesterday when he heroically donated cells to a 22 year-old-patient in Taiwan with acute myeloid leukemia.

It was the second time a Taiwan patient had received stem cells from a mainland donor after the first recipient case last July.
