Organ donation saves lives! I joined the Youth Committee of my party to promote the organ donation in Causeway Bay yesterday.
We Chinese have traditional thinking that we must preserve the whole body after we die, I think it's one of the main reasons that less people donate their organ in HK.
It seemed the above thinking is not dominating any more. I observed that people who knew what we were doing accepted the organ donation, especially for young people. They got our leaflets and came up to get the donation card.
The traditional way of thinking and attitude changes with time. Chinese people don't accept cremation some decades ago, but it's generally accepted. We still need to do a lot of work to make organ donation acceptable by the society, in order to help those who longing for the organ transplant operation.
上星期六帶團旅行，和陽光玩遊戲後，第二天下午就在羅鑼灣近SOGO幫民主黨青年委員會推廣器官損贈。幸好高樓大廈熟遮住了陽光，不致沐浴於陽光之下
。
出乎意料以外，不少市民都沒有傳統的"死要全屍"的忌諱，算是頗踴躍地接過甚或過來拿我們的資料並即場登記。
時代畢竟不同了，以前中國人也不接受火葬，現在已視為平常事。希望器官損贈也能如此，以幫助更多急切等待器官移植的長期病患者。
這些宣傳板字語是我建議的，可惜並不成功，沒能吸引情侶過來拍照
。我們要好好檢討才是了......
