"Time flies.Youth fades.Treasure each moment of your life," accompanied by guitar and drums,the Band for One,made up of five people,sang the lyrics(歌詞) soulfully during a performance in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province,on November 7,2020.
Behind the band,there was a picture of a young man named Philip Hancock shown on the screen.And he is the reason why they were all there.Hancock was a 27-year-old Australian who taught English in Chongqing.When he died in 2018 due to a disease,his parents followed his wishes and donated his organs(器官).
The five people introduced themselves on stage.They were the ones who received Philip's organs. "Last November,the Red Cross officials told me Philip's parents mentioned during an earlier memorial service that he loved music and dreamed of having his own band one day," said Chen Xianjun,a recipient (接受者).Chen was instantly on board to form a band in memory of Philip,and so were the other four recipients.
Since they had no music experience,they had to start from scratch.From learning the guitar,to mastering the maracas and taking on the drums,they took time out of their busy lives to practice over the past year.Peter Hancock,Philip's father,said after watching the band's performance,his biggest wish is for the five to enjoy their lives more.
Organ donation is not only the best way to honor a loved one,but also a remarkable way to save the lives of others.China faces a serious shortage of organs,with about 300,000 people waiting for organ transplant surgeries each year.But the good news is,more and more people have been signing up to be organ donors,showing the spirit of selflessness that Philip and so many others have shown.
