Cosplayers in brightly colored power armor, carrying replica weapons, posed in front of displays featuring quotations and insignia from Warhammer 40,000, which is regarded as one of the world's best-known miniature wargames. Fans gathered around them for photos, creating the atmosphere of a franchise meet-up.
But the visitors had not come simply to meet fellow enthusiasts. Many had traveled from across China to roll up their sleeves and donate blood, drawn by the chance to take home a Warhammer-themed model.
The unlikely crossover reflects a broader effort by Chinese blood centers and public welfare organizations to reach young people in a language they recognize. By collaborating with popular international and domestic franchises, these organizations are making traditionally solemn causes more accessible - and, in this case, turning online enthusiasm into first-time blood donations.
Toys for life
From July 24 to August 2, the Shanghai Blood Center held a campaign allowing people who donated whole blood at designated sites to enter a prize draw for Warhammer 40,000-themed figures and models.
The prizes ranged from giant 1:18-scale Knight Titans - towering war machines in the franchise's fictional universe - and Primarchs, its superhuman military leaders, to standard Space Marine figures.

According to the center, posts related to the campaign drew millions of views on Chinese social media platforms Weibo and Xiaohongshu (rednote) within three days, alongside a surge in user-generated posts and shares.
At three designated blood donation sites, the combined number of donors reached 256 in a single day, said the center.
The response was particularly notable because Shanghai had experienced consecutive days of high temperatures, which reduced pedestrian traffic and affected street-based blood collection.
With some models distributed faster than expected, the center held another round of the campaign on August 8 and 9.
The campaign appears to have reached the audience it was designed to attract. Zhu, 25, who donated blood in Shanghai on August 1, told the Global Times that his interest in Warhammer was the main reason he joined the campaign.
"I had never donated blood before taking part in this event," Zhu said.
Zhu lives outside Shanghai, as did many participants he met at the site. Some had traveled from the neighboring provinces, while others came from even farther away, largely because of the Warhammer models.
"Close to half of the donors on site that day were giving blood for the first time, and they were also Warhammer fans," Zhu said.
The campaign was neither an isolated experiment nor the center's first attempt to use pop culture to engage potential donors. According to the Xinhua News Agency, the Shanghai Blood Center began exploring IP collaborations in 2014 and has more than a decade of experience in such campaigns.
Pop culture for public good
China's voluntary blood donation rate has reached 11.4 donors per 1,000 people, Gao Guangming, deputy head of the Department of Medical Emergency Response under the National Health Commission, said at a press conference in June 2025.
"Over the past two years, voluntary blood donations have declined globally due to multiple factors. In China, the accelerating aging of the population, changes in lifestyles, and overlapping challenges in publicity, organization and mobilization have left the imbalance between blood supply and demand relatively pronounced," Gao said.
"Clinical demand continues to rise, while seasonal, regional and blood-type-specific shortages persist," Gao said.
As people aged 35 and under constitute the majority of blood donors, attracting more young people is crucial to sustaining voluntary blood donation.
"Using designer toys and popular products can make blood donation more approachable, increase its visibility and recognition among young people, and help remove psychological barriers," Zhang Yiwu, a professor at Peking University with an expertise in cultural studies, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
Young people are highly active on social media and more willing to share their experiences, meaning their participation can encourage others to follow, Zhang said. Attracting younger generations is therefore essential to the long-term development of public welfare causes, he noted.
Blood donation is not the only field in which Chinese organizations are using popular franchises to broaden public participation.
In March, One Foundation again collaborated with Twinkle Twinkle, a popular character owned by Chinese toy company Pop Mart, to raise awareness of the needs of people requiring special support. Volunteers and children with autism took part in an art activity at Pop Mart City Park in Beijing.
The Pokémon franchise also appeared in a ByteDance public welfare campaign in 2025, which called for greater attention to the treatment and rehabilitation of children with cleft lips and palates, according to Chinese media reports.
Yet the campaign's success also raises a longer-term question: whether enthusiasm generated by prizes can be converted into regular voluntary donations.
"If there are more Warhammer-related charity campaigns in the future, fans will continue to follow them with enthusiasm, and I would also consider participating again," Zhu said. "However, without rewards or other incentives, the actual participation rate may not be very high."
A Shanghai Blood Center staff member acknowledged the same challenge. "A themed event can quickly increase the number of blood donors, but the long-term security of a city's blood supply ultimately depends on a stable community of voluntary donors," said the staff member, according to Xinhua.
The lasting value of an IP collaboration, therefore, lies not simply in the immediate increase in donor numbers, but in whether it gives first-time donors a positive reason to return.
"The real significance of IP collaborations is to give young people an opportunity to walk into a blood donation site," Xinhua noted. "Through standardized services and a positive experience, they can develop an understanding of and identification with voluntary blood donation, ultimately moving from 'one-time campaign participants' to 'long-term contributors to public welfare.'"

B | 微软还改进了重置PC用户界面和wsl命令行工具。以下是Windows10内部版本18312中的更新:保留磁盘空间以使Windows10在19h1中保持最新。Microsoft对Windows 10的磁盘空间管理进行了一些更改。

C | 通过保留存储空间,将为Windows更新、应用程序、临时文件和系统缓存留出一些磁盘空间。其目标是通过确保关键的操作系统功能始终能够访问磁盘空间来改进PC的日常功能。有了保留的存储空间,Windows更新、应用程序、临时文件和缓存将不会占用太多宝贵的空间,并将继续按预期运行。保留存储将自动引入预装Windows 1019h1或预装Windows 1019h1的PC。

D | 对于希望立即尝试此功能的Windows内部人员-只需运行此任务。完成任务后,将在下一个版本中启动保留存储。

E | (如果在安装build 18312之前完成任务-保留存储将在此版本中启动。)随着个人电脑功能的增强,FLS插槽限制也在增加,音乐家们创建了越来越复杂的项目,包括更多的曲目、更多的乐器和更深的效果链。因此,其中一些音乐家遇到了fls(光纤本地存储)插槽分配上限问题,这使得他们无法将许多独特的插件加载到DAW(数字音频工作站)中。

F | 这个版本大大增加了每个进程的FLS插槽分配上限,允许加载数千个独特的插件。除了音乐家之外,这种变化将对任何动态加载带有静态链接的数百或数千个Visual C运行时独特DLL的应用程序产生积极影响,或者以其他方式分配FLS插槽。重置此PC UI界面可改进Microsoft添加的新UI界面,用于将此PC重置为设置>更新和安全>恢复的一部分。新的用户界面在具有不同配置的设备之间提供了更加一致的体验,并且只需很少的点击即可完成。针对Windows子系统的Linux命令行工具的改进Microsoft在wsl命令行工具(wsl.exe)中添加了新的命令行选项,以简化wsl管理,并根据用户反馈添加功能。这里有一个更新摘要:合并的命令行选项,wsl命令行工具,现在包含了wsl发行版管理wslconfig命令行工具的选项。微软打算只使用最新的管理选项,即wsl工具。使用“-import”选项将易于侧面加载的发布版本(包括非系统驱动器)导入tar文件作为新发行版。可以将分发注册表指定到所选位置,包括非系统驱动器。导出wsl分发以实现更简单的环境管理-使用“-export”选项将分发导出到tar文件。您的分发将导出到用户选择的默认下载位置。
