In recent days, the video of American athlete Tessa Maude in tears touched by the enthusiasm of volunteers at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics "Welcome to China" has swept the screen on social media. Seeing this video, the volunteer Sun Zeyu in the video decided to write back to Tessa, thanking her for recording the unforgettable moments of her life and wishing her new achievements in the yellow land. Tessa also quickly replied to Sun Zeyu, and the two made a "covenant of ice and snow" for the long-term friendship.
The competitions of the Winter Olympic Games were staged passionately, and more than 18,000 volunteers like Sun Zeyu served in all corners, conveying friendship and warmth. Whether it's guarding the Bird's Nest to guide and assist 450 photojournalists from the global media, going deep into the delegation station to help athletes communicate and outreach before and after the game, or sticking to the closed-loop bus platform outside the Bird's Nest in the cold wind of the night... Volunteers can be seen everywhere, and the warmth brought by volunteer service can be felt.
