霸王别姬

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.'"

萨巴伦卡表达了希望能将那辆价值10.5万美元的保时捷带回家的强烈愿望，这辆车是正在斯图加特举行的2025年保时捷网球大奖赛冠军的奖品。这位世界第一在击败保利尼晋级斯图加特决赛后的采访中透露了这一愿望。

由于第二轮对手波塔波娃退赛，萨巴伦卡在首轮轮空后，直接晋级四分之一决赛。在四分之一决赛中，她以6-4 6-1轻松战胜梅尔滕斯，展现了强大实力。

随后在半决赛中，尽管对手给她带来不小的挑战，萨巴伦卡还是以直落两盘的方式，以7-5 6-4击败世界第六的保利尼。在战胜意大利人之后，萨巴伦卡展望决赛，她将迎战前世界第五奥斯塔彭科。

“她现在状态非常好，过去的交手纪录已经不重要了。明天我要走上球场，就像打第一场比赛那样拼尽全力，我要为我身后的这辆漂亮的车而战。”萨巴伦卡在赛后的场上采访中说道。

这位世界第一随后也表示认可奥斯塔彭科目前的火热状态，但她打趣道，恳求拉脱维亚人“放她一马”，让她赢下这场比赛，因为她“真的需要”那辆电动版保时捷Macan Turbo。

“拜托了。真的，拜托了。我需要那辆车。我想把这个（她做了个打勾的手势）加在我的目标清单上。它看起来就像只老虎，太酷了。

今年在斯图加特与奥斯塔彭科的决赛，是萨巴伦卡第四次闯入斯图加特的决赛。她曾连续三年（2021年、2022年和2023年）闯入该赛事决赛，但都遗憾落败。

2021年，萨巴伦卡在斯图加特的决赛中对阵当时的世界第一巴蒂，她首盘以6-3拿下，但随后巴蒂迅速反击，以6-0和6-3连赢两盘逆转夺冠，赢得了一辆保时捷Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo。

2022年，萨巴伦卡再次打进决赛，但这次她以2-6 2-6惨败给斯瓦泰克。斯瓦泰克赢得了保时捷Taycan GTS Sport Turismo。到了2023年，两人再次在决赛交锋，斯瓦泰克依旧胜出，以6-3 6-4再度带走保时捷Taycan Turbo S Sport Turismo。

如果萨巴伦卡这次在斯图加特夺冠，她除了能获得电动版的保时捷Macan Turbo，还将赢得大约162183美元的奖金和500个WTA积分。

而奥斯塔彭科表示，她在职业生涯中还未打出过一场“完美”的比赛。

四 | 这位拉脱维亚选手以6-4 6-4战胜亚历山德罗娃，成功晋级决赛。这是她自2017年击败哈勒普夺得法网冠军以来，首次闯入红土场地的决赛。

在斯图加特，奥斯塔彭科找回了状态。在卡塔尔站闯入决赛后她陷入了一段低迷期，但这次她先后击败了2号种子斯瓦泰克，以及7号种子纳瓦罗，成功挺进决赛。接下来，她将在决赛中迎战头号种子萨巴伦卡。

在轻松击败亚历山德罗娃后，奥斯塔彭科在赛后采访中被问到，当比赛中失误时是否会感到沮丧。她在《网球快报》的视频中回应道：“你知道吗，我每次丢球真的都会非常生气，因为我超级好胜，我想赢下每一个球。我知道那不现实，但我是一个完美主义者。有时候这很好，有时候就不太妙，但我努力让这些负面情绪释放出来，然后准备好打好下一分。
