The smile of the volunteers is the best business card of the Olympic Games. The success of the Olympic Games is inseparable from high-quality volunteer service.
At the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics, 14,000 teachers and students from capital universities will serve as volunteers to provide support services for athletes and coaches from all over the world. Recently, in accordance with the overall arrangement of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, university volunteers have successively settled in the station.
"We're ready!" The young volunteers are full of confidence and look forward to blooming in every corner of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Small screws with big energy
At the Winter Olympics Main Media Center (MMC), volunteer Zhang Rui is busy at his post. As an assistant to the Main News Center Visitor Card Office, Zhang Rui's main job is to apply, approve and issue the Main News Center Visitor Card.
"As a sporting event, the amount of work covered by the Winter Olympics is unimaginable." Zhang Rui said, "I am like an ordinary screw. Although we are only involved in a small part of the work, we must also do a good job in the work at hand with the 'spirit of nailing nails', and nail the nails firmly and firmly. ”
Zhang Rui introduced that the service guarantee of the main media center of the Winter Olympics is perfect, whether it is the main press conference hall, media workshop and other media workplaces, or the smart restaurant that undertakes the daily catering of the media and volunteers, which reflects the complete service process and perfect epidemic prevention measures. "On the second floor of the main media center, special exhibitions such as traditional Chinese medicine and Beijing culture have also been set up, where media reporters from all over the world can feel the Chinese elements and Chinese style in the Olympic Games." Zhang Rui said.
Volunteer Zhao Shijie is Zhang Rui's "colleague". Being in the world to understand the Winter Olympics, Beijing, and China's "first window" made this young man very excited.
"The main media center integrates the main news center and the international broadcast center, and the furnishings are very simple and not extravagant and wasteful. However, it is simple and not simple, and all aspects reflect the completeness of the service process and the improvement of epidemic prevention measures. By the time of the race, the venue is expected to receive an average of about 5,000-6,000 registered text, photojournalists and rights holders per day. Speaking of the green and frugal characteristics of the main news center, Zhao Shijie came to hand.
"Although far away from my family, my volunteer partners are my relatives. Although the work is hard, I feel glorious, proud and happy when I think that I am serving an international event and can contribute to the Beijing Winter Olympics. Zhao Shijie said.
Sweat for the "City of The Two Olympics"
Coming to the familiar Capital Gymnasium again, volunteer Bai Ruochen was more confident.
As a volunteer director at the Capital Gymnasium, Bai Ruochen participated in the Winter Olympics test match held in October last year. "Combined with the experience of the test match, we have done a good job in the planning and preparation of the pre-publicity of the Winter Olympics and the construction of volunteer teams, and are fully prepared for better service to the Winter Olympics."
Bai Ruochen's job is to be responsible for publicity, training, motivation and other work in the field of volunteers. "The work and life of the volunteers are well organized, and the material support is also very sufficient. In terms of life, volunteers have a better living environment in the station, and the food in the venue is also good. With perfect safeguards, volunteers can better complete service work and tasks. ”
"At the 2008 Olympic Games, I fully felt the impact of the Olympic Games on the city and China in Beijing. I am very much looking forward to Beijing, the 'city of the Two Olympics', once again creating miracles and writing wonderful works at the 2022 Winter Olympics." I will also redouble my efforts in the Winter Olympics. Bai Ruochen said.
For the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, Hao Ziliang, the leader of the ice hockey team of Chinese Min University, has special feelings. He participated in the early test matches as an athlete, stepping on the ice surface of the National Gymnasium and Wukesong Gymnasium, and during the Beijing Winter Olympics, he will also serve as a volunteer at the Genting Ski Center in Zhangjiakou.
Zhao Shijie is also a member of the ice hockey team. "I still remember that day after the game, walked out of the National Gymnasium, and saw that there were still about 300 days left before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and now there are less than 10 days left, and the time passes really fast."
Both athletes and volunteers, Hao Ziliang and Zhao Shijie were particularly touched. "Holding large-scale international sporting events during the pandemic will certainly be filled with many unknown challenges. However, through the previous test matches, everyone was full of confidence in the smooth holding of the Winter Olympics. Hao Ziliang said, "As a volunteer of the Winter Olympics, I hope to do a good job in service work and ensure the safe holding of the event; as an ice and snow sports enthusiast, I hope that athletes from all over the world will show their style in the competition and wish the Chinese delegation good results." ”
Showcasing the style of Chinese youth
At the Zhangjiakou Mountain News Center, volunteers gathered here drove away the winter haze and brought the warmth of the new year to the venue - lanterns hanging everywhere, posted everywhere in the Spring Festival and Blessing Characters, making people warm and at ease.
Xu Xinyu, a volunteer of the Mountain News Center, entered the station on the 24th and officially entered the "Winter Olympic Time".
"I was still in elementary school in 2008. That year, taxis and shopping malls were playing "Welcome to Beijing", and I was deeply moved by the Olympic spirit through the opening ceremony and competition. Xu Xinyu said, "Today, being able to experience the highlights of the Winter Olympics as a volunteer feels like a dream." I will serve well and contribute to the Winter Olympics. ”
The Winter Olympics are about to open, and the volunteers hope to show the world the style of Chinese youth at the Winter Olympics.
"I am willing to carry the 'world's affairs' with a 'youthful heart' and carry the 'heavy burden' with 'tender shoulders', so that the participants from all over the world can fully feel the hospitality and civilized courtesy of the Chinese people and feel the warmth of spring." Zhao Shijie said.
"Nowadays, I have more and more friends around me involved in ice and snow sports, such as ice hockey, skiing, ice skating and so on. I look forward to the excellent results of Chinese ice and snow athletes, and I hope that the Winter Olympics can drive more young people to fall in love with ice and snow sports. Bai Ruochen said.
Zhang Rui said: "I look forward to returning to campus with this rare experience and full of ideals, telling and passing on the Olympic story and Olympic spirit to more young students." Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, we are ready!"
