This year, university student volunteers from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan actively contributed their youth to the Beijing Winter Olympics. Although there is no way to go home for the New Year, this special Chinese New Year's Eve has become a Spring Festival that they will never forget.
Zheng Anru, Ji Caiyan, Zheng Haoran, Huang Wanzhen and Chen Liyun from Taiwan and Hong Kong are all studying journalism and communication at the School of Journalism of the Communication University of China, and are volunteering in different positions. Being able to personally participate in the Winter Olympics and use the knowledge learned in school to serve the Winter Olympics is the most valuable experience and growth for students.
Zheng Anru is mainly responsible for coordinating various materials for foreign media reporters. "In this month, I have become more confident in my English expression, and in my daily work, I have no less communication with foreign friends, contact and exchange, clear expression and positive reaction from the other party, so that I will no longer feel uncomfortable or stage-afraid because of my accent or grammar."

Ji Caiyan also felt that she had found a lot of fulfilling fun in volunteering at the venue, and felt that she was "healthier and more regular". When I start work every day, it's almost just sunrise, and I can see the light blue sky turn red and then yellow." If you are lucky, you can also see the red and pink morning glow. At that time, I will feel that I am living a good life. ”

Although there is no way to go home for the New Year, this special Chinese New Year's Eve has become a Spring Festival that many students will never forget.
"We hang lanterns in venues and stations, paste couplets, write blessings, and hold annual meetings, and we are full of happiness everywhere." Zheng Haoran said. She and her volunteer partners are working hard to pass on this love and New Year greetings from China to overseas athletes and media friends, so that they can also experience a strong Chinese New Year flavor. "Whenever I hear foreign friends reply to me with Chinese' 'Happy Chinese New Year', I really feel full of surprise and unparalleled pride."

Huang Wanzhen's job is to publicize and popularize the knowledge of the Winter Olympics outside the field. For her self-evaluation as "a bit introverted", the volunteer job is both stressful and fulfilling. "When I first tried to take steps toward passers-by, 'stopped' them, and spread the word about the Winter Olympics to them, I experienced excitement and joy in addition to my nervousness. After that, I began to answer their questions about the Winter Olympics more confidently and calmly, full of pride and satisfaction. ”
Huang Wanzhen also often introduces China's Olympic concept to foreign friends on the street, as well as a lot of preparations made by the whole country for the Winter Olympics. "Whenever I introduce these, foreign friends will always show a 'shocked' expression, and a foreign brother also expressed his amazement at China's rapid development to me, and wished the 2022 Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympic Games a perfect ending."

Chen Liyun is a freshman, and soon she will join the city volunteer work. "I feel honored and proud to be a volunteer, to become an exporter of The Winter Olympic culture, and to dedicate my modest strength to the Winter Olympics through volunteer service." At present, she is closely following the progress of the Winter Olympic Games and cheering for the Olympic athletes in front of the TV.

"In the city volunteer service group, I often see them wearing thick cotton clothes working in cold weather, and in the cold wind, the dedication of volunteers is more and more evident. I am honored to be a member of the Volunteer City of the Winter Olympics and to be able to contribute a little to the Winter Olympics! Chen Liyun said.
