<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, Apr.25th, 2005: <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> made the decision to<br />

award the ―sunshine girl‖ Ai Wei (pseudo-name) these days. Ai Wei is an<br />

undergraduate student majoring in clinical therapy <strong>of</strong> Grade Four in the School <strong>of</strong><br />

Clinical Medicine. The vivid Beijing girl joined in the Sunshine Marrow Pool as a<br />

volunteer in late 2002 and donated her marrow to a leukemia patient in early 2005.<br />

The CPC Secretary <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Min Weifang met Ai Wei kindly at<br />

the Office Building in the morning <strong>of</strong> 21st <strong>of</strong> April. Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Min asked about her<br />

health, study and daily life in detail and conveyed to her the care from other school<br />

superintendents. He told Ai Wei to ―have a good rest and take care <strong>of</strong> health‖. Ai Wei<br />

told Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Min, ―I am a student <strong>of</strong> Medicine and have a good knowledge on this<br />

aspect. I am now in good condition and have restored to normal in such sports as<br />

swimming.‖<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Min praised high on Ai Wei. He said that all the university superintendents<br />

were moved by your deeds. Your courage, love and spirit <strong>of</strong> devotion is worth all the<br />

students and teachers <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> to learn from. He said health is the most<br />

precious to human being. It is l<strong>of</strong>ty <strong>of</strong> doctors to help patients get rid <strong>of</strong> ailment but Ai<br />

Wei‘ s devotion <strong>of</strong> her marrow is even l<strong>of</strong>tier.<br />

The staff attending the meeting introduced that the marrow transplantation is the<br />

important way to treat leukemia at present and work on this aspect has not been<br />

done enough in China. It is limited whether on the scale <strong>of</strong> the marrow pool, the<br />

number <strong>of</strong> people <strong>of</strong> successful marrow matching or the number <strong>of</strong> cases performing<br />

the operation <strong>of</strong> marrow transplantation.<br />

It is reported that concerning to the international tradition and moral requirements <strong>of</strong><br />

marrow donation, <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> is not going to publicize the detailed personal<br />

information <strong>of</strong> Ai Wei at present, and the awarding order bearing Ai Wei‘ s real name<br />

is to be issued in a year.<br />
