Who would have thought that such a lovely girl had just survived such a deadly disease?

A big hug is the only way to express feelings at the moment, as Kailee Wells is embraced by her donor Dr Wang Lin. Kailee Wells said, ”Xie Xie Ni, Dr Wang Lin, for giving a part of your 1ife to me.”

Hong Junling, director of Red Cross Society, China said, “In the past, if a patient became sick，we had to turn to donor programs overseas or in Taiwan to apply. Nowadays, for the most part，our patients know that if they become sick they can first try the China Red Cross database.”
