I am Wang Shuai, a junior at the School of Tourism of Changchun University, and today is the first day of the Winter Olympics. Recently, students from the accommodation group and the venue group have entered the Winter Olympic Village. In order to strictly implement the epidemic prevention regulations and reduce the flow of personnel, the service team restaurant was not opened in the Winter Olympic Village, but the logistics support team where I was stationed undertook their three meals a day. I was thus given an even more difficult task – to become a humanoid "transport aircraft" between the Village and the station.
Every morning at 6:30 a.m., I embarked on a "journey" and went back and forth. Carrying incubators containing nearly two hundred box lunches back and forth has become the norm for my work. In addition to contributing, in the process of delivering box lunches, I learned more to communicate and understand.
The night before, I needed to communicate with my colleagues working in the Winter Olympic Village to understand their dining needs; I needed to communicate with the restaurant to assist with ordering food; and I also needed to communicate with the team to coordinate delivery times. Due to the tight manpower, all the communication work needs to be done by myself, and I am also involved in all the transportation work.
While being diligent in communication, it is also necessary to understand and tolerate each other. The small partners who work in the Winter Olympic Village have a more difficult task. Therefore, I will try my best to meet their dining needs and do my best to support their work. Sometimes, sudden work schedules can cause some students to miss the centralized meal time. In order for them to be able to eat a hot meal, I will deliver a box lunch for them alone. Hearing the thanks from my classmates and seeing their satisfied smiling faces, I was proud that even if I waited long in the cold wind, it was worth it.
It's breakfast time soon and I'm about to leave again. I am a hard-working food delivery guy, sweating in the back of the Winter Olympics, trying to shine in my post.
