Among the participants was Azahar Muhammad Mishkat, a PhD student at Tongji University in Shanghai, originally from Bangladesh. Mishkat, who has been in the city for two years, pledged to be available for emergency blood donations and expressed his commitment to continue supporting such causes after his first blood donation journey with Bloodline on Saturday.

Daria Fontana, an exchange student from the University of Venice in Italy, said this was her first blood donation experience. Despite being previously ineligible due to being underweight, Fontana was elated to finally contribute. She enthusiastically spread the word about the initiative at her school, encouraging her peers to join in.

Moreover, the event featured the "Shanghai, My City" short video collection and screening activity, attracting a diverse array of foreigners keen on capturing and sharing their Shanghai experiences through their unique perspectives.
