‘Most beautiful volunteer’ award for local nurse
Print Edition
YU Jingzi, a head nurse from the Putuo District People’s Hospital, received the title of the nation’s “most beautiful volunteer” at the recent national “Learn From Lei Feng Volunteer Service” seminar held in Beijing.
The seminar was organized by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of Central Commission for Guiding Cultural and Ethical Progress.
A total of 400 outstanding volunteer groups, communities, projects and individuals from all over the country were awarded.
Yu, who has 24 years of nursing experience, has received numerous accolades, including “National Model Worker,” “Role Model for March 8th Red Banner Holder,” “China May 4th Youth Medal” and “National Model of Medical Ethics.” She is also a representative of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Over recent decades, Yu has been devoted to professional volunteer services and projects focused on public health.
Ever since Yu started to work at the Putuo District People’s Hospital in 1992, she has spared no effort to help others. Her hard-working spirit and selfless devotion to the needs of patients has touched many.
She is a frequent non-remunerated blood donor. In 2002, she helped save a leukemia patient’s life with her donated bone marrow.
During the SARS outbreak of 2003, Yu was the first medical worker who applied to work on the front line.
When the disastrous earthquake struck Wenchuan, Sichuan Province in 2008, she spent one month at the earthquake-hit areas to rescue those who were trapped in the ruins.
During the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, Yu served as a medical volunteer.
Getting organized
Even on her vacation, Yu joined a volunteer team to provide medical service in the Tibet Autonomous Region.
She and her team also documented their nursing techniques and expertise in a book titled “The Heart Road of Angels.” The book was used as a textbook at local colleges.
Yu has also shared her experiences with people through online videos and workshops.
In 2011 Yu founded a volunteer studio. The studio has received many awards with its various volunteer projects.
So far, its professional volunteer teams have offered more than 280 medical and health-care services to around 30,000 people, among whom are patients from poor families and elderly patients.
The studio has also collaborated with local colleges and social organizations to present a series of charity projects related to hospice care and bringing books to medical wards.
Young white-collar workers, college students, family of the patients and retired medical workers have joined the studio’s projects. To date, the studio has over 1,400 registered volunteers.
Last year, when the Charity Law went into effect, Yu and her team set up a special charity foundation to launch more charity projects.
