Features: Celebrity Endorsement: Xiao Wei is a farmer. In the past few years, in order to support his family and raise his children, he, like many farmer friends, went to sell blood to earn more money. Unfortunately, he contracted the HIV virus. Xiao Wei is an educated farmer. Therefore, he did not succumb to despair in the face of misfortune but fought against the disease and various difficulties in life like a warrior. He consciously stood up to participate in social work and help those around him who were infected until he poured out his heart and soul, writing this book filled with genuine emotions. Xiao Wei is an extraordinary person. I remember in Qingdao, we participated together in an AIDS prevention training organized by the local government. When he spoke on stage and said, "I will be infected until the end!" the entire audience was deeply moved and gave him a warm round of applause. — AIDS Prevention Advocate Pu Cunxin
