How it's used
Donating blood is a common civic activity in Hong Kong, and the Red Cross often sets up mobile donation stations in busy areas like Mong Kok or Causeway Bay. The term is treated as a verb-object construction, meaning you can insert aspect markers like 咗 or 緊 between 捐 and 血. It is standard to refer to the act of giving blood as a way to help others in medical emergencies.
