Xu Zeqing, a winter Olympic volunteer at Beijing Second Chinese College:
Four years ago, as a young journalist, I travelled to the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, to witness Wu Dajing's victory in the men's 500m short track speed skating. I still remember that the final competition was very sticky, and everyone was watching the red in the arena, expecting him to bring the first gold for China. Finally, when Wu Dajing crossed the finish line, won the championship and set a new world record, we all cheered and cheered for this hard-won gold medal.
After watching the competition, we read about the development of China's ice and snow sports in the small exhibition hall in the "China House" and enjoyed the exciting winning moments. There is also a screen showing The picture of China's successful bid for the Winter Olympics. At that time, I stood in front of the screen and imagined: after four years, whether I would still have the honor of participating in it, whether I would still be able to witness the rise of the five-star red flag, and whether I would be able to meet Yang Yang and Wu Dajing, who made history...
Today, four years later, I really did. As a volunteer in Yanqing Winter Olympic Village, I interacted with Yang Yang, the short track speed skating champion of the Winter Olympics, and received her encouragement and praise; at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, I was lucky enough to meet Wu Dajing and personally heard his words of thanks to the volunteers.
In order to continue to write my own ice and snow story, in order to show the world the style of Winter Olympic volunteers, I will use practical actions and efforts to realize my Winter Olympic dream. Now I am back at my post in Yanqing Winter Olympic Village, making preliminary preparations for the Winter Paralympic Games. In the follow-up service, I will work with all volunteers to continue our Winter Olympic story with full enthusiasm.
