【Winter Olympics have me, see me in the Winter Olympics】

For Su Yongjun, a "Jun" from Taiwan, the Lantern Festival in 2022 is destined to be an unforgettable day.

Born in Hsinchu City, Taiwan Province, Su Yongjun is currently studying at Tsinghua University and is also a volunteer for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, choosing to stay in the mainland this year for the Chinese New Year in order to do a good job in event service.

Looking at the bright lanterns of the Lantern Festival, Su Yongjun remembered the days when he was in high school in Taiwan. During that time, in order to prepare for the college entrance examination, he would study at school every day until very late before returning home. And every time, his parents would leave a lamp at home, and sometimes prepare some small snacks or hot soup to let Su Yongjun get warm comfort after a day of study.

In Su Yongjun's hometown of Hsinchu, Taiwan, her mother used to buy tangyuan in the same long-established store every year. According to the teacher of this shop who makes tangyuan, they use the earliest production method, using the tangyuan in the basket to constantly roll and bump into each other, and finally the large tangyuan grains are full of tendons, and will not be scattered when cooked in boiling water after being put into the pot, so that the tangyuan will be soft and sweet in the mouth.

In 2017, Su Yongjun came to Shanghai Law Firm for internship. Under the careful guidance and help of the seniors of the law firm, Su Yongjun not only got sufficient exercise, but also gained a group of like-minded friends. This experience lit up the bright light in Su Yongjun's heart, and also became the reason why Su Yongjun chose to come to Tsinghua University for further study.

Along the way, Su Yongjun has also experienced setbacks and frustrations in work, study and life, but he said that life is like a tangyuan, which always needs to go through tumbling, boiling, floating and sinking before it becomes soft and sweet.

In the future, Su Yongjun hopes to become a more influential person and use his small strength to help more people. (Zeng Zhenyu)
