"I was born in 2001, when I successfully bid for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, my parents gave me a meaningful name - 'Bid for the Olympic Games.'"
Recently, Beijing Second Foreign Chinese College held the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Olympics Volunteer Expedition Conference, and the Bid for the Olympic Games together with nearly 400 volunteers of the school solemnly swore an oath: "I volunteer to serve the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, let my smile become the most beautiful business card of the Winter Olympics!" ”
The 21-year-old is a sophomore in the school's School of Tourism Science. Since she became sensible, she has been able to feel the special meaning of her name: "Olympic Bid" contains the pride and joy of people when they successfully bid for the Olympic Games in Beijing, and also carries the hopes and high hopes of their parents. "It's a special kind of fate, as if I'm destined to do something for the Olympics."
Seeds of service to the Olympics are planted from an early age
At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, his father was responsible for translation and liaison work as a volunteer in the International Military Sports Village, and his mother was responsible for the security of the event at the grassroots level. "At that time, I lived alone in my grandmother's house for a long time, and I didn't know what my parents were busy with, and I didn't understand why they didn't accompany me." She said.
Until at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, I saw the huge footprints composed of fireworks slowly drifting down into the sky, and heard the 2008 actors singing and chanting "There are friends from afar, happy"... She learned from her grandmother that her parents sacrificed their time with their families because they served in the Olympic Games.
"I saw the greatness of the ordinary from my parents, and I wanted to pass on this dedication." A seed of service to the Olympic Games is silently sown and sprouted in the heart of the Olympic bidder. Bidding has been following the news of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing and looking forward to participating in it as a volunteer. In 2019, volunteers for the Beijing Winter Olympics were openly recruited, and the bid for the Olympic Games was decisively registered.
Volunteer dreams shine into reality
After going through the tests of written tests and interviews, he finally became a volunteer for the Beijing Winter Olympics. "We are very supportive of the Olympic bid as a Volunteer for the Winter Olympics, and hope that she can overcome the difficulties and challenges encountered in her work and make this Winter Olympics trip an important experience of contributing to the motherland, serving the society and improving her own capabilities." The father of the Olympic bid said.
Learn about the winter Olympic ice and snow projects and Olympic sports, understand the key points and precautions of media service work, master the basic etiquette and professional service skills of volunteers... At present, the Olympic bid and volunteer partners have experienced four phases of offline professional training and all-round online course training, and have also participated in a variety of activities such as the Winter Olympic knowledge and skill quizzes, competition projects pk, simulated volunteer scenes, and simulated competition projects.
"Fancy training has made me harvested!" Bidding for the Olympic Games said that my major is tourism management, and the tourism professional courses I usually study in school have provided great help to me in serving the Winter Olympics. "In addition, the school also pays special attention to the cultivation of our foreign language ability, which makes me feel much more confident when talking to foreign friends."
In order to better complete the service work during the Winter Olympic Games, the school also set up a weekly running training program for volunteers in order to better complete the service work during the Winter Olympics. Winter has arrived, the twilight is cold, even if the temperature is low, you can still see a thin figure on the playground insisting on running, exercising and punching cards. The Olympic bid said: "Never let yourself be left behind on the way to the Olympics!" ”
Taking the "baton" from your parents
According to reports, Erwai recruited 309 professional volunteers, 49 general volunteers, 5 international student volunteers, 18 city volunteers, and 10 opening and closing ceremony actors for the Winter Olympics volunteer service. Among them, professional volunteers are divided into two professional fields: external liaison and media operation, and the service venues are concentrated in the Yanqing competition area, including the alpine ski center, the bobsleigh center, and the Yanqing Winter Olympic Village.
The Olympic bid will serve the Winter Olympics as a member of the Media Operation Department of the National Bobsleigh Center in Yanqing. She recalled that the story of the summer of 2008 was vividly remembered: a shout when the Chinese team won the championship, the five-star red flag was raised again and again, and the march of the volunteer army was played over and over again... She will never forget.
Today, Beijing will become the world's first "double Olympic" city. "From the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the Olympic Games have witnessed my growth and the development of the country. I am willing to take over the baton in the hands of my parents, contribute to the smooth holding of the Winter Olympic Games, and let the world see the style of Chinese youth. ”
"The door of my house is often open, open arms waiting for you..." When she was a child, she would always hum "Welcome to Beijing" with her parents, a well-known song that accompanied her through her youth. As the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics approached, the young and ignorant child had grown up. "Burning snowflakes, brave departure..." The song of the volunteers of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics - "Burning Snowflakes" has also replaced "Beijing Welcome You" as the most frequently echoing melody in the ears of the Olympic Bid...
"I hope to take my parents' expectations of me and rush to the Winter Olympics to make a small snowflake burning!"
