At the Beijing Winter Olympics
Athletes explore and surpass again and again
Behind it is often years of persistence and hard work
And this Winter Olympics can not be ignored
They are volunteers who are fully committed to the Winter Olympics
They warm the world with a big smile
Winter Olympic village
I volunteered with my dad
During the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Lu Yantong, a sophomore student at Beijing Second Chinese College, served as an external liaison assistant, providing language, guidance and other services for foreign athletes and staff who came to participate in the competition, and assisting the delegation to solve problems in competition, training and daily life.
In addition to being able to participate in the service of the Winter Olympics, she feels more fortunate that her father also works in yanqing winter olympic village. Lu Yantong only learned a week before his departure that his father, who had been serving in beijing's Winter Olympic Village, had been temporarily transferred to Yanqing Winter Olympic Village. After taking up the post, she and her father encountered each other at multiple verification points, and each time they hurriedly said hello and went their separate ways.
Lu Yantong and his father
What would it be like to serve the Winter Olympics with your loved ones? Lu Yantong said: "At that time, I was surprised to hear that my father was also there. Because in an unfamiliar environment, I can still work with my relatives and celebrate the New Year, which is really unexpected. ”
Lu Yantong's father participated in the security work of the Winter Olympic Village and went to the Winter Olympic Village before her. Once, she met her father in the parking lot, who happened to be working late. Her father told her to do a good job of protection, wear more clothes in cold weather, and protect herself in order to successfully complete the Winter Olympics.
In the process of Lu Yantong's participation in volunteer selection, training and induction, her father has been encouraging her behind her back, supporting her, and strengthening her determination to do a good job in volunteering for the Winter Olympics. "I feel full of energy when I can work with my father every day, and my father's words warm my heart."
Soon after taking up his post, as delegations from various countries settled in the Winter Olympic Village, Lu Yantong's work became increasingly busy.
The day after the Saudi Delegation arrived at the Winter Olympic Village, Lu Yantong and another assistant received the delegation and assisted them in flying the flag. After the first flag was successfully hoisted, the members of the Saudi delegation happily clapped their hands with Lu Yantong to express their excitement. From the warm afternoon sun to the sunset, they worked together to accomplish the rest.
Lu Yantong said that in the process, the head of the delegation, Hamad, has been concerned about the Chinese volunteers, and he has been repeating "be careful and careful" and asking everyone if they are tired and whether they need to rest. "He said he likes China, he likes Chinese, he likes to talk to Chinese because you are always enthusiastic and willing to help others. The Delegation was very positive about our work and I felt that all the hard work and hard work had been worth it. ”
What is even more coincidental is that Lu Yantong's uncle is a bus driver in charge of transportation during the Winter Olympics, and like Lu Yantong's father and daughter, he contributed to the Beijing Winter Olympics. Under the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the volunteer service of the Winter Olympics is intense and the closed-loop cycle is long, but Lu Yantong said: "Because of the father, uncle and I who work together to fight and cheer up the Winter Olympics, my father and uncle have also become comrades in arms who encourage each other in the front line of service." ”
Father and daughter went to serve the Winter Olympics together, and their mother became their deepest concern, Lu Yantong said: "My mother spent the New Year with my grandmother, and she said that she would be a 'volunteer' behind the volunteers. The family is looking forward to the safe return of our three Winter Olympic servicers, and also hopes that we will successfully complete our tasks and return home safely and healthily. ”
A special reunion of the "Snow Dragon"
The mother came to watch the game to see the volunteer daughter
"Are you a volunteer at the University of Agriculture?" You've worked hard! Be sure to do a good job of cold protection and warmth, and take good care of your body! Recently, at the National Bobsleigh Center, a female spectator wearing a black coat and waving a small flag on the ice pier expressed her gratitude and greetings to the volunteers. A special reunion is about to take place in "Snow Dragon".
It turned out that this audience member was the mother of Lu Jia, a volunteer in the closed loop of the venue. Because of the service for the Beijing Winter Olympics and the "Meet in Beijing" Winter Olympic Test Match, although her home is in Beijing, her daughter has not had the opportunity to accompany her family for two years during the Spring Festival, and she has sacrificed two winter vacations for this. Although her daughter was unable to reunite with her family during the Chinese New Year, Ms. Tang expressed great understanding and support for her daughter's work.
Lu Jia is a full-time cadre of the Youth League Committee of China Agricultural University, responsible for the school's volunteer service and social practice work, is the executive commander of the school's Yanqing station, and is a volunteer assistant in the venue. Mainly responsible for assisting the volunteer manager to carry out the operation and management of the venue volunteer home, organizing various team building incentive activities such as The New Year Garden Party, the Party, and the Collective Birthday Party, and carrying out volunteer publicity and education.
Due to the different divisions, she could not directly provide services for her mother, and she was very excited to learn that her mother came to the museum as a spectator to watch the game, and used her rest time to rush to the audience area to meet her mother briefly across the fence, and the care from her family made her tired, warm and full of motivation.
For the volunteers of the University of Agriculture, Lu Jia is the leading teacher who helps them solve various difficult problems, and she is also the warm and reliable "big sister" in their eyes. When volunteers first arrive at the station and venue and encounter difficulties or problems, she is a "firefighter"; when everyone is sick and homesick or encounters trouble, she is a "universal tree hole"; when everyone is tired or depressed at work, she is a "heart-warming little note". She has always used "volunteers behind the volunteers" and "behind the scenes" to position her work and the meaning of the trip.
She said: "I am very honored to participate in the service guarantee work of the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of new China, the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and the three major events of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games." I deeply understand that behind every large-scale event that attracts much attention, there is a group of unknown behind-the-scenes heroes. In my heart, it is an incomparably warm and happy thing to be an angel behind the scenes who silently shines and illuminates the way forward for others. ”
The family of three is a five-star volunteer in Beijing
Both are participating in the Winter Olympics volunteering
In the sub-center of the city, there is such a "star family", and all three of them are five-star volunteers in Beijing. When the Winter Olympics came, the three families were naturally not idle - daughter Wang Junge provided transportation protection services for athletes in the Winter Olympic Village in the closed loop; father Wang Xueren used his spare time to guide the citizens at the Dongxiayuan subway station; his mother Jin Jingcong is currently the leader of the Dongxiayuan service station, and then may also go to the National Ski Jumping Center to participate in the closed-loop volunteer service during the Winter Paralympic Games.

"At the Beijing Olympic Games 14 years ago, my husband and I were busy at work, and our children were so small that we didn't become volunteers. Therefore, this Winter Olympics, the three of us did not hesitate, and the volunteer recruitment was launched as soon as it was registered. Jin Jingcong said that since the family registered as a Volunteer in Beijing a few years ago, public welfare activities such as helping the elderly, helping the disabled, tobacco control, epidemic prevention and control, and courtesy zebra crossings have left a figure of "sending people roses". Daughter Wang Junge set up the "Yidong Alliance" volunteer service team, which has reached 450 members, and in 2021, she was honorably elected as the most beautiful volunteer in the capital.
Zhang Lian, a volunteer at the Dongxiayuan Service Station, said: "Jingcong's family of three is really our example! Another volunteer, Zhang Jianrong, who often volunteers with Kim Kyung-chung's husband, Wang Xueren, picked up a small card with knowledge of the Winter Olympics and said that many of the red ropes on it were worn by Lao Wang.

"Jing Cong, how is your girlfriend in the Winter Olympic Village, we all miss her!" When I come back, I will also do training for us. The words of several volunteers made Jin Jingcong's eyes red.
Wang Junge, who was just 20 years old, left home on the eve of the Spring Festival because he wanted to participate in volunteer services in the closed loop, and for the first time since he was born, he did not spend the New Year accompanied by his parents. Chinese New Year's Eve night, the reunion moment of the Wanjia family, the couple really couldn't help but miss their daughter and dialed the video phone. The video call rang for half an hour, the two sides talked from volunteer service to the Spring Festival Gala program, there was talk and laughter, did not say the word "thinking of you", "afraid that one party opened his mouth, the other party must have also cried..." Jin Jingcong secretly cut a screen to record this unforgettable moment.

In Jin Jingcong's mobile phone screenshot album, in addition to the picture of the video with his daughter, there is also a volunteer identity verification notice. "You see, I have passed the audit, and it is likely that at the time of the Winter Paralympic Games, I will go to the National Ski Jumping Center to participate in closed-loop volunteer service." Excitedly, she told reporters, "This must be the highlight of my volunteer career!" ”
