With Christmas soon approaching, many young people are buying gifts and making dinner reservations, but Geng Yingying is thinking about a serious subject – death.

Geng is a healthy 21-year-old student at Northwest Normal University in Gansu Province. She volunteered to donate(捐赠)her body for medical research and education because she wants to leave something to the world after her death. She first learned about body donation through a volunteer activity in 2016. Not long after that, one of her friends died in an accident. "I realized life is vulnerable(脆弱)and I wanted to make it more meaningful." she said.

Geng is one of a growing number of young Chinese who have registered(注册)as voluntary body donors in recent years. The number of registered volunteers for body and organ donations was over 2,610 in Gansu by November 20, compared with just 80 in 2014, according to the statistics released by the local Red Cross Society.

In Beijing, more than 21,100 people applied to donate their cadavers(遗体)by the end of 2017since the city started a body donation registry in 1999.So far, over 2,600 donations have been used for medical research and education, according to the Beijing Red Cross Society.

Zhan Haibing is a postgraduate student in the School of Public Health at Lanzhou University. He refers to cadavers as "silent teachers." "Silent teachers have played an irreplaceable role in medical education and research. They can give medical students a real understanding of human bodies." Zhan said.

China's body donation program started in the early 1980s. Yuan said the traditional belief, lack of knowledge on donation procedures, and failure to obtain support from families of the donors are three main reasons that have long slowed donations.

As the laws and the overall environment for donation continue to improve, and people's attitudes on funeral customs are gradually changing, body donations have become more acceptable. People are showing more respect and understanding to the donors.

Meanwhile, many Chinese universities have called on "life education. " They ask their students to participate in volunteer activities in hospitals, funeral parlors, nursing homes and Red Cross societies to better understand the meaning of life.
