Beijing, February 16 (China Youth Daily, China Youth Daily reporter Fan Weichen) As a volunteer for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, at 9 a.m., the first thing Wang Runxuan from Beijing University of Technology did when she arrived at her post was to confirm the day's work tasks with the teacher.
There are more than 18,000 volunteers at the Winter Olympics, of which about 14,000 are college students from Beijing universities.
In order to serve the Winter Olympics, Wang Runxuan did not spend a reunion year with her family for the first time, but Wang Runxuan knew that she was not alone in the "battle", because her father and mother were also busy serving the Winter Olympics.

Wang Runxuan's parents were former soldiers, and his father was a border policeman, who was responsible for the security work of the Winter Olympics at Beijing Capital International Airport together with his comrades-in-arms, providing smooth and convenient services for participants and passengers from all over the world while guarding the national defense line of epidemic prevention and control. Wang Runxuan's mother works in the airport street, to "ensure that no one leaks" to strictly implement the nucleic acid testing work in the community to ensure the smooth holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics and the health and safety of personnel.
In the city of "Double Olympics", Wang Runxuan's family has become a veritable "Duo'ao" family.
In fact, among the teams participating in the Winter Olympic service, it is not uncommon for "Duo'ao" families similar to Wang Runxuan.
Zhang Yixuan is a volunteer from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, her father entered the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee two years ago, mainly responsible for the category registration of domestic staff before the game, and mainly responsible for the registration activation, modification of permissions, upgrade and other work of the relevant international personnel guests during the game. Zhang Yixuan's mother, a police officer, is also contributing to the security of the Winter Olympics.
The venue of the competition, the public area of centralized management, the busy command room, in the three places, the way Zhang Yixuan and his family of three meet has also become extremely special.
Chinese New Year's Eve during the lunch break that day, Zhang Yixuan and her father met on the edge of the two people's work area, across a road, "Dad, Happy New Year!" How are you doing? Zhang Yixuan shouted to her father across the road, and this kind of "all the way across" meeting was considered to add a "reunion" color to the father-daughter Chinese New Year's Eve.

The "meeting" of Zhang Yixuan's parents is even more "magical".
"One day, my mother was staring at the surveillance screen in front of me, and when she scanned the screens near the venue where my father was, she saw my father walking on the road. Dad also seemed to have a special 'induction', looked up at the nearest monitor and smiled and beckoned. Zhang Yixuan said that in a later call, dad said that the reason for the gesture was that he felt "maybe he could be seen", "Although the three of us were not reunited in distance, our hearts were always together." ”
In fact, the "Olympic fate" of these "Doo" families did not start from this Winter Olympic Games.
"I had the privilege of being there at the 2008 Olympics, and I was impressed by the warm smiles of the volunteers' brothers and sisters." Zhang Yixuan said that coupled with the exchanges with his father in the past two years, he had more understanding and expectations for the Winter Olympics, so when he heard the news that the school was recruiting volunteers, he did not hesitate to sign up.
Yan Zihao, from the Central University of Finance and Economics, is an authentic "second generation of aviation". His father, a veteran civil aviator with nearly 30 years of experience, was primarily responsible for safety in the air traffic control system and participated in flight support for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
When he learned that Yan Zihao would participate in this year's Winter Olympic service, his father handed him a notebook with ten gilded characters engraved on the cover of the notebook "Civil Aviation Olympic Air Traffic Control Command Center", which was the book used by Yan Zihao's father during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. "If you have time, write down your feelings and record it, this experience should be quite memorable in your life." Yan Zihao's father said.
For the university student volunteers who participated in the Winter Olympics service, the Winter Olympic service is not only a contribution, but also a growth.
Recalling the most tired moments in the process of participating in volunteer service, Wang Runxuan used the term "continuous rotation" to describe, even so, she still feels that "volunteer service is a two-way happiness", in her opinion, although sometimes the work is very tired and boring, but it can bring convenience to others, can bring harvest to herself, this "happy people" and "happy themselves" State makes her feel that all the efforts are worth it.
