Foreigner With a Beautiful Soul
Ashish Maskay is a 48-year-old man from Nepal. He works as a doctor in Shanghai now. But he is better known as the founder of a non-profit group for blood donations — Bloodline.
As a doctor, Maskay knows blood plays an important role in saving people’s lives. He does not only give blood himself, but also hopes others can do the same. So he set up Bloodline three years ago. Now, it has many members in different cities in China.
For his great work, Maskay won the Shanghai Magnolia Award in September, 2020.
Maskay said he learned to help others when he was a child from his father. “My father was a doctor. He always gave away medicine to poor people.” When Maskay grew up, he also did other activities, like helping collect food and money for a children’s hospital.
