Hard work for up to four years

Four years ago, Zhang Ya inadvertently saw a report. A little girl resolutely cut off her long hair that had been left for many years and donated it to a child who lost her hair in cancer treatment to make a wig. Zhang Ya was very touched and found a lot of relevant information. She learned that many children had hair loss due to chemotherapy, and they were very sad and even unwilling to face themselves. Synthetic wigs can also have a negative impact on their younger bodies, but "a wig made in a real human hair in Canada costs a few hundred Canadian dollars. I listen to a classmate who studies in the United States and say that there may be thousands in the United States. Dollar."

Since then, Zhang Ya decided to start keeping hair. One stay is nearly four years, not perm hair, not hair, in the hottest summer, the long hair into a hair. "It’s cold in winter. I have to dry my hair after bathing. Every time I blow my arms, I’m sour. I don’t want to blow my wet hair for more than an hour. I’m sorry to see people.”

Zhang Ya said that when she was just preparing to keep her hair, her grandfather passed away. "I remember that I was still doing experiments in the laboratory. The departure of my grandfather made my heart more firm. I think people will have to live in this life. Leave something useful as a commemoration."

Last October, on the day before Zhang Ya’s birthday, she asked her brother to help, cut the long hair from the waist, divided it into three bundles, put it in a sealed bag, and sent it to the Canadian Cancer Foundation. wig. "This has already passed. I called my father a few days ago and said that I really want to donate to the China Cancer Foundation. Unfortunately, there are no related projects in the mainland. He suggested me. Write this story down, maybe under the inquiries of many people, the mainland will have it in the future."

The mainland has not started the project

Zhang Ya told reporters, "Not everyone's hair is suitable, first of all must meet 20 cm in length, and some institutions may require longer, up to 30 cm." Not only in terms of length, but also must not pass Chemical treatment such as dyeing and ironing can be done with white hair and self-winding. "Before you cut, wash your hair and blow it dry. It's best to poke it into a ponytail or braid it."

Zhang Ya is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Canada. She told reporters that there are currently two institutions in Canada that can receive real hair. “One is the Canadian Cancer Society, one is the voice of children, and the latter is dedicated to providing children with free wigs. The person in need fills out the form first, and then someone has to see if it is suitable for wearing a wig. If you think you can get a top." In addition, she also found a place where the United States receives donated hair.

At present, there are no institutions in mainland China to carry out similar projects, but in Taiwan it has already formed scale. The reporter searched the Internet and found dozens of news about donating hair to the Cancer Foundation. Zhang Ya said that his happiest thing is that after the posts he wrote have been fired, many people have offered to participate in this activity. Before the interview, Zhang Ya told reporters that she is now starting to keep her hair again: "I intend to leave it to children."

Psychologist:

This is a sublimation of life.

Psychologist Wen Qing said in an interview with reporters: "Hair is of great significance to a girl. Many girls will cut hair after falling out of love, saying that life has changed and life is starting again. The act of cutting hair is more like for them. It is a serious ceremony."
