To verify whether or not the announcement was real, as many of the comments doubted, this reporter contacted
the phone number given on the announcement. The man who answered the phone claimed that he was an employee
of The People’s Hospital of Jiangsu’s Sperm Bank. He explained that it was a new policy of the hospital to give a
5000RMB allowance to each donor, which wasn’t to be paid all at once but in installments that include: a 100RMB
transportation fee after the first sperm collection, 3000 RMB more after the “task” is completed, and the rest of
the allowance if donor tested to be HIV negative six months later.



Doctor Wang Wei who works at the hospital told the reporter that normally donors have to donate ten times after
passing the sperm quality test, blood test and other physical tests, and have to rest for a few days between each
visit. As a result, it takes about three months to complete the process of donation.

The allowance given by The People’s Hospital of Jiangsu was originally 3000 RMB, raised to 4000 RMB in 2010, and
then in March This Year Again Raised to 5000 RMB.
