The Life Bridge Spanning over the Straits

It was the day of September 22, 1999, at 7:30 in the morning, when the sun shone over the beautiful city of Hangzhou. The laurel trees had not come out flowers, but the morning wind was full of fragrance of the flowers.
Lily, who had just celebrated her 18th birthday, had acute leukemia, lying quietly in the bed of the ward. The brigh sunlight did not make her pale face become red. Her life seemed the budding rose which was fading soon. Only by translating marrows from other people could the girl survive the leukemia, however, It is not easy to find the narrow（marrow） which was best fit for her. It is likely to find one in ten thousand with the suitable marrow between two men if they have not any genetic relationship. Lily was lucky enough, after trying hard to search all the time, to find a man from Taiwan with suitable marrow.
In the Tzu Chi hospital of Taiwan’s Hualien, at the same moment, Dr Zhang, an expert in bone marrow transplantation, was in a hurry to enter the operating room. A young man was lying on the bed, waiting for Dr Zhang to take the marrow from him. It was yesterday that a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck Taiwan, which was still shaking in the aftershock at the moment.
The young man in the bed was not injured in the disaster, but it was uncertain whether his family was safe or not. However, he knew that, on the other side of the strait, a young girl, hopefully expected him to help her. A sudden aftershock made the injecting needle drop off from the skin, and Dr Zhang had to stop working for a while. At the time it would be safe to be in an empty place, but Dr Zhang calmly stood by the bed while the young man was lying in the bed quietly. After many times of hard work, over the time interval when the earthquake stopped, the young man’s marrow at last flew out of his body. The marrow could be kept as short as 24 horshours, so Dr Zhang took the marrow to reach Hangzhou after a more than 10- hour journey, and kept working all night to operate on Lily with local doctors.
Lily was saved! The compatriots on both sides built a life bridge spanning over the straits with love. Perhaps Lily would never meet the young man, but it did not matter a lot, because the hears on the both sides were joined together. The blood and the affection, like the spark to extend the life, will be passed down by one generation after another.
