Hangzhou's "most beautiful wall of people" by the West Lake is on the hot search (previously reported to poke here).
This National Day is the sixth year that Hangzhou's volunteer red has appeared by the West Lake.
Wang Xin, sophomore, post-00s.
This year is his second participation in the "Human Wall" volunteer service.
On October 2, he stood at the lakeside for 5 and a half hours.
In these 5 and a half hours, Wang Xin needs to be highly concentrated and react quickly, otherwise a wandering mind will easily not be able to keep up with the formation.
Although it was hard, Wang Xin was also touched by passers-by again and again, and the warmth and encouragement given by everyone made him feel that it was good to do this.
On National Day, there are many people rushing to their posts or guarding the city.
Hour News wants to document their lives and wants to sum up their day in one number. This number may not be so comprehensive, but it probably reflects their holiday day.
Step-by-step female online ride-hailing driver Yu Huali (more stories poke here: Hangzhou online ride-hailing female driver Yu Huali's day: more than 10 orders, the road is blocked, looking forward to running out of good business next) and Wu Shangzong, a cross-border chamber actor from interior design (more stories poke here: despite family opposition to be a chamber actor, Hangzhou 23-year-old guy: On the first day of national day, I played a middle-aged aunt 11 times), after the third article of "My Digital National Day", to see the most beautiful wall volunteer Wang Xin on October 2.
Under the fiery sun, sweat keeps flowing down
The National Day has a feeling of summer vacation, and this sentence is not too much to describe the weather in Hangzhou on October 2.
The sun was shining at three o'clock in the afternoon.
At a temperature of more than 30 degrees, volunteers held hands and built two "human walls".
They need to follow the changing lights on the road, opening and closing, and the cycle repeats. In this crowded holiday, because of them, citizens and tourists are always guarded in a safe area.
Like all the volunteers at the scene, Wang Xin wore a red volunteer vest and a sun hat on his head, and the mask he wore was printed with the words "I love you, China".
Perhaps because he had been standing in the hot sun for a long time, Wang Xin's forehead had beads of sweat oozing from time to time, but he rarely wiped it with his hands.
In the working state, Wang Xin has always maintained a high degree of mental concentration and rapid response, otherwise a wandering mind will easily not be able to keep up with the formation. From 3 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., for five and a half hours, volunteers took turns in turn to ensure that this "human wall" was always on the road.
Don't go home, want to do what you can
Born in 2003, Wang Xin is a sophomore at Zhejiang Gongshang University, majoring in tourism management.
For the sake of epidemic prevention and control, this National Day, Wang Xin did not go out to travel, and also gave up returning to his hometown in Anqing, Anhui Province, choosing to stay in Hangzhou.
Since he stayed in Hangzhou, Wang Xin felt that he should do something meaningful. So he signed up again to become a "human wall" volunteer.
Shortly after the start of the school, the academic pressure is relatively low, and the time is also allowed, which is the reason for Wang Xin's registration.
And Wang Xin's parents supported their son's decision. They feel that young people should do what they can for society.
Wang Xin signed up for a total of 4 days, from October 1 to October 4, he will go from the school in Xiasha to the West Lake on time to participate in volunteer service.
Before the official induction, Wang Xin and all the volunteers were trained and went to the field in advance to practice.
"The person in charge of the Qingyu Public Welfare Service Center will divide the work for us, send us the items needed in the service, and tell us the regular etiquette and precautions of the volunteers." Wang Xin said that in addition to these, as a "human wall" volunteer, you should also have some understanding of the environment around the service location, "for example, in which direction is the West Lake, the surrounding shopping malls, subways, bus stations, and some major roads must be known, so that someone can ask us to answer." ”
Standing down for 5 and a half hours, my waist and legs were faintly sore
For every volunteer service, one stop is 5 and a half hours.
Standing all the time, but also constantly walking back and forth, the hard work is natural.
After returning to the dormitory on the night of October 1 and lying on the bed, Wang Xin felt a faint soreness in his waist, legs and feet. "When I was working, I didn't feel it, and I would feel it when I lay in bed at night, but I usually exercised regularly, and my physical fitness was good, and I could carry it."
The first time I heard about the "most beautiful wall" by the West Lake in Hangzhou, Wang Xin had not yet come to Hangzhou to go to college, and he brushed up on the Internet with relevant news reports.
"After watching the video, I was shocked and touched." Wang Xin especially admired these "human wall" volunteers at that time, thinking that they had great perseverance and were doing a warm and cool thing.
After coming to Hangzhou to attend university, Wang Xin joined the school's Youth Volunteer Service Center and participated in volunteer service as long as he had time. Once, taking advantage of the holiday, Wang Xin went to the West Lake to play, and when he saw the "most beautiful wall", he was deeply touched.
"I'm going to join." Wang Xin said to himself.
Soon, the opportunity came.
Before the May Day holiday this year, the school recruited a group of volunteers to participate in the "human wall" volunteer service activities by the West Lake, and Wang Xin signed up for the first time. Finally, after the selection, he was successfully shortlisted.
Excited and looking forward to it, Wang Xin, who really participated in the volunteer service of "Human Wall" for the first time, "is a little afraid to walk."
"I was so nervous that my palms were sweating. Everyone needs to hold hands, my hands are wet, I'm embarrassed. ”
I learned to smile at the camera and was touched again and again
There are often tourists who see this warm line and will raise their cameras and take pictures of the volunteers.
At first, when he saw others taking pictures of himself, Wang Xin would unconsciously bow his head, "Shy to the point of blushing." ”
But gradually, Wang Xin felt that this was recognized by everyone and was worthy of pride. He began to learn to smile at the camera.
In the evening, when the volunteer service was about to end, Wang Xin was warmed by a small matter.
It was the green light, and volunteers held hands to fence the zebra crossing. At this time, a pair of parents came with a small child, and the child may have never seen such a scene before, and felt particularly novel. The child's father told him that the brothers and sisters were volunteers.
The children waved at the volunteers, and then said loudly, "Volunteer brothers and sisters, thank you!" He said it several times in a row.
Flowers were also sent to them.
Wang Xin said that in the future days, as long as people are in Hangzhou, as long as time permits, he is willing to become a part of the "most beautiful wall of people", because this matter is very Hangzhou, very beautiful.
