Before the end of last year, Lizi, who is nearly at the final phase of her current radiation regimen, had received 30 treatments. But she is no longer melancholy. In December, not long after a head measurement, she received her first wig made of real hair and found that it suited her well.

One of the hair donors explained why she got involved:

"That day happened to be my 23rd birthday, and I finally made up my mind to sign up for the initiative and donate my long hair as a special gift," said Li Chaoyang, a student at Chongqing University. "I feel like the children's wearing wigs and dancing with joy has cured me mentally. They shed light in my life, and I hope my hair will be a light that brings them happiness."

The initiative has received 347 bunches of hair donated by volunteers from 27 provinces across China, according to the volunteer service team at the hospital.
