In response to the call for blood donation and to help meet the clinical blood needs of local hospitals, NHU organized a blood drive on December 18th in collaboration with the Xinchang County Health Bureau. 31 employees from the headquarter and Xinchang production base enthusiastically volunteered, donating a total of 8,200 ML of blood. Committed to a long-term vision and the value of social contribution, NHU has consistently held blood drives for over 20 years, offering the gift of life to patients in need. This effort exemplifies the spirit of NHU's employees, who are dedicated to supporting the community and taking responsibility for making a positive impact.

At 8:30 a.m., as the blood mobile arrived at NHU’s headquarter, many employees were already waiting in anticipation. Guided by staff and professional physicians, our employees registered via QR code and were briefed on the blood donation precautions. After completing a series of orderly preparations, including blood pressure checks, blood collection, and testing, 23 employees who passed the health screenings proceeded to donate blood. Each drop of blood represents a beacon of hope, bringing light to patients in need and spreading love and warmth.

After the blood donation, the staff closely monitored the donors' physical condition and well-being. All participants reported feeling fine, expressing their willingness to continue supporting blood donation efforts whenever possible. Many shared that it was deeply meaningful to think that their actions could help save a life. NHU also prepared thoughtful souvenirs for the donors, ensuring that everyone felt the care and warmth of the company.

Among the participants were both first-time donors and familiar faces who have donated multiple times. Zhang Lifang, an employee at the Animal Nutrition Research Institute of the Xinchang Base, stands out for her extraordinary commitment to blood donation. For the past 15 years, she has consistently donated, contributing a total of 7,000 ML of blood—far exceeding the total blood volume of an adult.

"I remember my first blood donation in 2009 when I was still working at the company's old factory. I saw the blood drive, and feeling healthy, I decided to give it a try without overthinking it", said Ms. Zhang. Following that positive experience, she was motivated to continue donating and became a dedicated blood donor. Over the past 15 years, she has participated in 18 blood donation events and received multiple honors, including the Zhejiang Provincial Blood Donation Award and the National Bronze Blood Donation Medal. Furthermore, she registered as a volunteer hematopoietic stem cell donor, further demonstrating her commitment to helping others.

However, good deeds are done without expecting anything in return. At NHU, there are many individuals like Ms. Zhang Lifang, who quietly and selflessly contribute through their "good deeds". Their actions, though unspoken, inspire and empower us, reminding us to cherish and care for every life in the world.

Since the start of this year, NHU's production bases have actively responded to the call for blood donation, with over 170 participants contributing a total of 55,800 ML of blood. On its path of benefiting society and creating value, NHU has continually moved forward with purpose, spreading warmth along the way. We remain committed to our core values of "Creating Wealth, Elevating Employees, and Benefiting Society", always staying true to the mission behind our operations. In addition to blood donation, NHU has broadened its public welfare efforts by establishing a special fund, organizing volunteer teams, and pursuing initiatives in poverty alleviation, student support, and epidemic relief. Through these actions, NHU exemplifies its comprehensive social responsibility, channels positive energy, and showcases its dedication to social welfare through tangible actions.
