The countdown to the Winter Olympics is 100 days, and the recruitment of university volunteers has been basically completed. The reporter learned from the Beijing Youth League Municipal Committee in the morning that after layers of selection, a total of 14,000 college students from the capital have become volunteers for the Beijing Winter Olympics and The Winter Paralympic Games.
It is understood that the 14,000 volunteers from 66 capital universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Chinese Min University, etc., will provide volunteer services in Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou, and use their youth, responsibility and dreams to attend the Winter Olympics.
Liu Bingquan, second-level inspector of the Beijing Youth League Municipal Committee and director of the Winter Olympic Office, introduced that volunteer training has been carried out one after another. In the next step, we will improve the level of volunteer service through more targeted training and ensure that a satisfactory volunteer service answer sheet is delivered. "During the test match, volunteers threw themselves into volunteer work. Especially now that it is the period of students' study, colleges and universities provide learning guarantees through course transfer and online teaching. Our next step will be to educate and guide volunteers through training. ”
It is understood that the volunteers of the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games cover the volunteers of the Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou three divisions and city volunteers. According to the nature of the position, the volunteers of the games are divided into two categories: professional and general. "At present, the 14,000 volunteers of the capital university have been assembled, and everyone is determined to seize the opportunity and dedicate their youth to become a beautiful landscape for the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympic Games." Li Junhui, secretary of the Beijing Municipal Youth League Committee, introduced.
Tsinghua University volunteer Yu Zhongqi
In 2008, the little volunteer grew up to tell The "New Story" of China for foreign guests.
In another 100 days, Beijing will become the "City of The Two Olympics". Yu Zhongqi, a volunteer for the Beijing Winter Olympics and a doctoral student from Tsinghua University, will also become a "double Olympic" volunteer.
You may not imagine that 13 years ago, Yu Zhongqi, who was still a primary school student, participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games City Volunteer Service. At that time, it was the summer vacation of the 5th grade, and he followed the adults to the city volunteer site "Blue Cube" to feel the Olympic atmosphere.
"Although I was young at that time, the Olympics came, and I said that I had to go to see it." That summer, Yu Zhongqi watched many games. Watching TV is not addictive, he will go to the scene to watch. Under the organization of the school, he was able to walk into the Olympic venues to watch the competition. The shock of walking into the bird's nest and the water cube for the first time made him still remember it vividly.
"I was particularly fortunate that I was also involved in volunteering for the Beijing Olympics." Yu Zhongqi remembers that at that time, the streets of Beijing could often meet foreign friends from all over the world. In order to help foreign children understand Beijing, he came to the city volunteer site, hoping to do what he could.
For this matter, Yu Zhongqi spent a lot of time preparing a large section of English materials to introduce the Great Wall, Peking Opera and Roast Duck in Beijing.
More than ten years later, the little volunteer became a doctoral student at Tsinghua University. With the launch of the global recruitment of volunteers for the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, the idea of that year was ignited in Yu Zhongqi's mind. Not long ago, Yu Zhongqi received a notice from the Organizing Committee of the Winter Olympics and officially became a volunteer for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. His position is "Olympic Family Assistant", which mainly provides scheduling management, field escort, language translation and information communication services for the Olympic family members, and assists them in dealing with all emergencies. "It can be said that it is the core group of Winter Olympic volunteers." Speaking of this, Yu Zhongqi is very proud.
In contrast, the Olympic family assistant training task is heavy, the participation in the Winter Olympics is longer, and the scope of services is wider. As the "main force" of winter Olympic volunteers, Yu Zhongqi took the initiative to take on more tasks while constantly learning. As the footsteps of the Winter Olympics approached, Yu Zhongqi was full of excitement. He said Beijing is a "city of two Olympics." From "Welcome to Beijing" to "Together for the Future", it reflects China's development and progress, demonstrating tolerance and self-confidence.
This time, Yu Zhongqi intends to tell a new "China story" for foreign guests. Talk about 5G, talk about high-speed rail, and talk about a China that is constantly developing and changing with each passing day.
Beijing Sport University volunteer Yu Yilu
On behalf of the volunteers, the "Girl in Red" swore an oath: to win glory for the motherland and add color to the Winter Olympics
At the Volunteer Oath Ceremony for the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Olympics held in the capital on October 26, Yu Yilu, the leader of the red-clad oath, was undoubtedly the focus of the venue. To be able to become a volunteer for the Beijing Winter Olympics, Yu Yilu excitedly said that the dream since going to college has finally come true!
Yu Yilu is a graduate student at the School of International Sports Organization at Beijing Sport University. Her fate with the Winter Olympics began with Beijing's successful bid to host the Winter Olympics. On July 31, 2015, IOC President Bach announced that Beijing would be the host city of the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. At that moment, Yu Yilu, who was still a middle school student, watched the entire live broadcast next to the TV.
In 2017, Yu Yilu was admitted to Beijing Sport University to study English. The high school teacher knew that she had been admitted to Beijing Sports University, so he encouraged her: the next step is to perfectly integrate with the Winter Olympics! Since then, this sentence has taken root in her heart. "I've been wondering in what capacity I'm going to play in the Winter Olympics?"
During her undergraduate studies, Yu Yilu participated in many volunteer activities, and the idea of becoming a volunteer for the Winter Olympics became stronger and stronger. She feels that volunteers are not only guiding athletes, but also messengers of cultural communication. After the launch of the global recruitment campaign for volunteers for the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, Yu Yilu signed up for a volunteer position in the media operation. "My graduate major is Chinese and foreign sports people-to-people exchanges, and applying for this position is just a good way to play my language expertise."
After registration, screening, interview and other links, this year, Yu Yilu became a professional volunteer for the media operation position of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. During the test match, Yu Yilu was an eye-opener and accumulated valuable experience in the competition. In order to do a good job as a volunteer, she "made up" the knowledge and professional vocabulary of the Winter Olympics, and also used her spare time to experience skating.
"Compared to dryland roller skating, standing on ice feels completely different." After several experiences, Yu Yilu has a more intuitive understanding of ice and snow sports. "The ice was really cold, which was not felt from the TV. The athletes who have achieved great results in such a low temperature are very admirable. As a beginner, Yu Yilu often fell because of poor movement control, although it was very painful, she did not flinch.
In addition to being a Winter Olympic volunteer, Yu Yilu is also a member of the Beijing Winter Olympics propaganda team. Wherever the propaganda team went, Yu Yilu also brought the spirit of volunteer service to everywhere. She hopes to use her volunteer service experience to call on more people to join the volunteer service of the Winter Olympics.
In another 100 days, the Olympics will once again enter "Beijing time". At the Volunteer Oath Ceremony of the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Olympics of Capital Colleges and Universities, Yu Yilu, as the oath taker, took the oath on behalf of the 14,000 volunteers of the Capital Universities: I volunteer to participate in the volunteer service of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, with a great mission and a glorious task! I will do: obey the command, serve the overall situation; go all out, unity and cooperation; carry forward the Olympic spirit, practice the concept of volunteer service, win glory for the motherland, add color to the Winter Olympics, and jointly contribute to the holding of a simple, safe and wonderful Winter Olympics!
At this unforgettable moment, she specially wore a red top. "There is a five-star red flag on this dress. Moreover, red is also the representative color of the Chinese team. Yu Yilu said that red represents festivity, and the Winter Olympics are in the Spring Festival, and she hopes to express her good wishes for the motherland.
