JD Launches Free Storage for Alzheimer’s Patients and Family Members
by Yuchuan Wang
Today, the 27th World Alzheimer’s Day, JD’s Mini Storage warehouse service launched a special charity project for people who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Through the initiative, Alzheimer’s patients and their relatives who sign up from September 21st to November 25th can keep their belongings in JD’s warehouses one year for free.
There are over 50 million people in the world living with dementia (Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia), of which 10 million reside in China.
Xiao Hang, a Beijing resident, is the grandson of an Alzheimer’s patient. He recently stored his miniature car models and furniture in JD’s warehouse as he is currently renovating his home.
Xiao Hang said he became fascinated in miniature car models over 20 years ago when a Japanese cartoon called Bakusou Kyoudai Let’s & Go (The Racing Brothers Let’s & Go)came to China. His grandmother, who developed Alzheimer’s last year and lost both many of her memories and her language capability as a result, bought him his very first car model that he could join in and play with the other kids.
“Every time I went back home, [my grandmother] would stare at me for a long time. Even when she finally recognized me, she cannot speak, but cried instead. These car models represent an emotional attachment between me and her.” said Xiao Hang.

“As long as you have items that you can’t bear to part with, you can store them in our Mini Storage [facility],” said Liangliang Liu, head of JD Mini Storage. “We hope to provide a reassuring place for all people in need, such as families who are relocating, students, small apartment dwellers, travelers, and more.”
Launched in 2019, JD Mini Storage enables individuals and small enterprises to store their goods in JD’s warehouses securely and cost-effectively. The service has now been expanded to over 10 cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Alzheimer’s patients and their relatives can indicate as such on the order form and then customer service will contact them to arrange free pickup.

JD Health Dispatches Expert Physician and Donates Critical Supplies for Earthquake Relief in Morocco
by Vivian Yang
JD Health is rapidly mobilizing resources to aid the ongoing earthquake relief efforts in Morocco. On September 14th, we dispatched an expert orthopedic doctor to collaborate with the international disaster response team led by the Beijing One Heart Sphere Charity Foundation. Additionally, we’re coordinating the delivery of essential medical supplies to support the mission.
Dr. Zhang Haijing, a veteran in medical relief with nearly two decades of specialized experience, will represent JD Health in Morocco. His extensive background includes involvement in flood relief, earthquake rescues, counter-terrorism operations, and mass event medical assistance. Since joining JD Health, Dr. Zhang has provided complimentary consultations to hundreds during emergency rescues, drawing from his expertise in wilderness first aid and medical rescue.
The volunteer team will depart at midnight on September 14th, Beijing time. They will bring an initial shipment of critical medical supplies, generously donated by JD Health in partnership with China’s leading medical product manufacturer, HYNAUT. The shipment includes essentials such as iodine swabs, sterile disinfectant swabs, waterproof dressings, adhesive tapes, surgical dressings, non-woven bandages, and N95 masks, among others.
At JD Health, we take immense pride in our team of full-time doctors—92% of whom have over a decade of clinical experience. In addition to offering daily online medical consultations, our doctors are committed to humanitarian work. They have been on the front lines of various disaster relief operations, both domestically and internationally. Following the devastating floods in Henan and Shanxi in 2021, our team provided critical on-site medical support and facilitated the donation of essential disinfection and pharmaceutical supplies. Earlier this year, when a severe earthquake hit West Asia, we were quick to mobilize resources, offering crucial support to local relief efforts. And just last month, we sent doctors to Zhuozhou in Hebei Province, an area heavily impacted by persistent torrential rains.
