Blood binds volunteer to people in need

It is easy to do something good once, but it is hard to do good all the time, according to a time-honored Chinese saying.

But Fu Qiang, a 45-year-old native of Ma'anshan, Anhui province, has done the same good deed of donating blood to needy people for 16 consecutive years.

The amount of blood and platelets he has donated is equivalent to the blood in 15 adults and could fill 156 mineral water bottles, says Tao Yijun, an official with the Red Cross Society of China.
