Blood is the river of the body. Its flow is not only a symbol of life but also a connection to society. Only by starting at the source and helping the public truly understand the science of blood can we inspire heartfelt passion, allowing this life-giving current to flow continuously throughout society.

The book “River of the Body: A Journey into Blood” provides readers with a clear and accessible “blood literacy map.” It transforms complex medical concepts into an approachable knowledge journey, enhanced with illustrations and special features to increase both comprehension and impact. The Foundation has donated copies of the book to 149 universities and 341 public libraries nationwide, aiming to broaden readership. This work also represents an effort to convey the value of public participation to younger generations and highlights the importance of life education, encouraging more young people to engage with healthcare systems and social welfare issues.
