Volunteers respected on World Blood Donor Day

Local residents donate blood in Handan, North China's Hebei province, June 14, 2013. June 14 is the 10th World Blood Donor Day. The theme of this year's nationwide campaign is "each blood donation is the gift of life-saving". Advocates promote voluntary blood donations and urge regular blood donors to continue giving blood and people in good health who have never given blood, particularly young people, to begin doing so.
