Ukiyoe: in the minds of volunteers864000In seconds, too many laughing and tired silhouettes were frozen
“Getting along with managers from various countries10Days are measured in seconds, because every second we are either moved, learned a lesson, laughed, or collapsed from exhaustion. Every second is like a big test. Only when you are well prepared can you take the test easily. But for us, we don’t know what new problems will arise in the next moment. All we can prepare is smile, sincerity, dedication and wholeheartedness. But when I sent them away, tears fell unconsciously from the corners of my eyes, and I realized this10The memory of heaven is already so heavy. ”
—— Volunteer Diary
Project managers from various countries thank the volunteers
Because the students in this training class are from23countries, in order to ensure communication with every student, especially with some students from non-common language countries,International Business Chinese Teaching and Resource Development BaseDesigned to the w88 casino of Foreign Languages and the w88 casino of English13Excellent graduate students and undergraduate students serve as interpreters for the group, forming a team with the students, accompanying the entire training class activities, and assisting in related reception work. In addition, the base also divided the students into5Group, a volunteer responsibility system is implemented. Each student has his own specific responsible volunteer. The volunteers provide great help to the students in all aspects of life and study.
Serving the Confucius Institute training class10Every day, a volunteer is responsible for keeping a volunteer diary. The diary contains bits and pieces of their experiences, various big and small problems waiting for the teacher to solve one by one, and thoughtful memos to remind each other of things to pay attention to. Often when the work at the venue gets busy, everyone loses the concept of time and often fails to take care of meals. Everyone is also used to abnormal meal times. Due to the heavy workload every day, some boys often didn't have enough to eat. Later, the restaurant manager of the hotel saw that these children were really working hard, so he specially ordered some affordable and plentiful meals for them. The volunteers still couldn't help laughing when they recalled how they were so hungry in the restaurant.

2007Zhang Qianru, a French major at the Foreign Languages Universitiesis one of the team leaders and is mainly responsible for organizing hotel reception, foreign official sign-in, and information collection and entry. Careful management is the glue of the team, which also leads to a series of short stories. This was her first time leading such a large organization, so she was extremely careful and did not dare to neglect anything.When scheduling workSheAlways pay attention to the matching of each member, and also consider the volunteers' food, clothing, housing and transportation. When she was working at the hotel, the air conditioner was on full blast, so every night she would inform the volunteers who would be working the next day to put on more clothes. She knew that the volunteers didn't even have time to drink water when they were busy, so as the mobile commander, she took turns changing posts with the volunteers to urge everyone to drink water. Everyone says that volunteers are managers’ nannies, and Zhang Qianru is volunteers’ nanny.

Volunteers guide foreign guests to fill in personal information forms
The first day when students come to w88 casino is the busiest day. At first, because the foreign guests arrived at the w88 casino at a relatively concentrated time, the volunteers responsible for sign-in were in a panic. They were confirming the identity of the foreign guests, instructing the foreign guests to fill in their personal information, and checking the reimbursement vouchers. The volunteers' foreheads were slightly sweaty, for fear of making mistakes in any link. As the team leader, Zhang Qianru immediately reconfirmed the division of labor. She was careful and wrote the work of each group on a sticky note and posted it on each volunteer's desk to clarify their responsibilities. In this way, the originally complicated work immediately became clear, and the subsequent check-in and entry work was carried out in an orderly manner, with no more mistakes.During the student registration period, with the help of volunteers, each student filled out a personal information form, so that the w88 casino can better understand the special requirements of the students, so as to truly respect cultural differences, respect the personal choices of foreign officials, and do all logistical work to the finest detail.
Character close-up 2：Yu Danlu
Yu Danlu is a graduate student in the w88 casino of English, performed very well in this volunteer activity. On the first day of the conference, a Nepalese man suffered from heat stroke because he was not accustomed to the climate in Beijing. He fainted twice while speaking, but he still insisted on completing his speech. This has tightened the hearts of the volunteers. Everyone is paying close attention to his activities for fear that he will show symptoms of discomfort again. Sure enough, on the second day of the trip, he couldn't hold on and called volunteers for help. At that time, Yu Danlu rushed back to the hotel without saying a word, and even brought him medicine and fruits at her own expense. The Nepalese man was so moved that he held his hand and thanked him repeatedly.
Through this activity, the volunteers also developed a strong interest in Sinology and established deep friendships with managers of Confucius Institutes in various countries. Yu Danlu said that in the process of getting along with foreign students, she felt that they all had a strong desire to learn Chinese. He said that foreign students would often catch him and ask him how to say this in Chinese and how to express that. In the Thai group he was in charge of, there was a small craze for Chinese names. He and several volunteers racked their brains to come up with names for this group of foreign friends, and from time to time they would be amused by the humor of foreign students and burst into laughter. Also, after listening to the lecture, the foreign students will strongly request the volunteers to send them electronic versions of all the materials so that they can further learn the various training courses of the Confucius Institute and improve their Chinese proficiency. Since the volunteers participated in the entire training class for foreign project managers at the Confucius Institute, they were deeply touched by this. Yu Danlu said: “I think the event is very meaningful, and the promotion of Chinese language is of great benefit to the spread of Chinese culture. In addition, I am both surprised and pleased with the popularity of Chinese. ”

In addition to participating in various special lectures, case teachings, and round-table discussions, student representatives from various countries, w88 casino organizers also arranged traditional cultural experience projects, including visits to Tiananmen, the Summer Palace, and the Old Summer Palace.798Art District, Bird's Nest, Water Cube and other places, every place requires it13volunteers accompanied the whole process.13Volunteers are responsible74students, each one is responsible5Personal. Foreign friends are very interested in Chinese traditional culture and architecture, and often go around in small groups to take photos, which is very frustrating for the volunteers. The volunteers were busy counting the number of people along the way, always thinking about the students they were responsible for, for fear that they would get lost, and to ensure that they did not fall behind, so they would not have time to enjoy the scenery. Everyone's feet will be sore after a day's walking, and rest time is often not guaranteed, which is very hard. Once when a group trip to Thailand came back, when I got on the bus and counted the number of people, I found that there were fewer people2Personally, Yu Danlu, who was in charge of the Thai delegation, was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. She immediately went back to look for them. After searching for a while, she found that the two students were still taking pictures in the same place. When they were found, the stone in Yu Danlu's heart was finally found.
Volunteers accompany managers from various countries on their travels
Although volunteer work is tiring and worrying, and although the volunteers’ nerves are always tense, the volunteers have never complained at all about this. Yu Danlu said: “Although I have been to places that require escorting before, this time it is really a different experience. This time it was not just about having fun, but also introducing them to the history and culture of various scenic spots, sometimes in Chinese, sometimes in English. Whenever I introduced them, I was really proud of our achievements. Of course, in order to introduce it better and more accurately, I have consulted a lot of information before. This is also the first time that I have such an in-depth understanding of our traditional culture and heritage. Seeing them listening so seriously, I felt that this was the greatest reward. The joy and joy cannot be expressed in words. "Not only Yu Danlu, all volunteers are seeing foreign countriesStudents are visiting the Forbidden City, Summer Palace,Behind the Bird's Nest and Water CubeWhen they are full of praise for Chinese traditional culture and give a thumbs up, they all know that no matter how hard or tired they are, it is worth it, because they are the first window for foreign friends to understand China. Can show a good attitude to foreign friendsFriendly, rich, diverse, ancient and modern China, this is the greatest significance of their work. The hardships and fatigue of the volunteers were melted into their deep love for the motherland.
Character close-up3 ：Liu Yijun
As the team leader, Liu Yijun from the Italian Department of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages was particularly close to the foreign students from the Confucius Institute in Italy along the way. The two of them chatted very well whether they were eating or in the car. They sometimes talked about education system issues at home and abroad, and sometimes talked about personal success and development. Both parties also left each other's contact information. Before leaving, the foreign manager took Liu Yijun's hand and repeatedly told her that if there was a chance in the future, he must go to her and visit the Confucius Institute abroad. Liu Yijun said: "Participating in this volunteer activity helped me broaden my ideas for personal development. Nowadays, the world is paying more and more attention to China and is more and more interested in Chinese culture. In the future, I also want to become an envoy of Chinese and foreign exchanges and contribute my strength to the cause of Chinese education."

8month1Day, the registration day for our training class at the Confucius Institute, is also mine21First birthday. A birthday without cake or longevity noodles may be a bit simple, but it adds more meaning and nostalgia. That night the w88 casino held a welcome dinner for all the students. I didn't tell everyone about my birthday. That night was very busy, because it was the first day of the training class, and a lot of work had just begun. I was busy all the time, busy distributing schedules to each student, busy leading all students to sit down in an orderly manner, busy assigning all volunteers to sit separately so that they could communicate with everyone, busy Introducing all the arrangements of our event to foreign friends and everything they want to know... Until the end of the dinner, a snack was served. A very close volunteer friend helped me put a small piece of bread and said that if there is no cake, just use the bread as a cake. Happy birthday! It’s a birthday without cake, but the piece of bread tastes so delicious and sweet!
8In those days at the beginning of the month, I was very busy and tired. Sometimes I was busy at night preparing materials and summarizing work results1230:30, maybe in the morning6I have to get up at half past three to start a new task. Such a life is busy and fulfilling. As the leader of the volunteers, what I want to say most is thank you, thank you to many people, thank you to us13Thanks to every volunteer for this excellent team formed by individuals, and thank you all for supporting my work.

Every time your task is always the heaviest, but every time you smile and say: It's okay, it's okay. Thank you to every teacher at the base. Your dedication and pragmatism move us. Your encouragement and your smile inspire us and make us believe that we have reason to have the responsibility to do our best. I like those busy days, I like working with all the people every day, everyone performs their duties, and they are organized, I like what everyone saysVolunteersLong live, take pictures with us, like a group of people can do it every night9We rush back to the dormitory together from the south gate at half past three to catch up with the last group of people taking a bath. I like to eat with foreigners every daycheers, I like to create a truly united volunteer team and work hard for a common goal!
When all those memories are fading away, I seem to start to miss it a little bit. I miss those days when I worked overtime in the office, and there were always teachers to help pack things back from the restaurant, and lunch boxes of all sizes were packed on the conference room table. The shop is full, and several people are enjoying such a "super feast"; I miss those days, when in the car every day, you can hear songs in various languages, and enjoy the truly borderless language; I miss that graduation dinner, all the Thai people pulled us to dance together, all of usVolunteersLet’s sing Beijing to welcome you; miss the time when they left, we said goodbye in the car, they held my hand, I walked from the front to the back of the car, shaking hands with everyone, when I got off the car, I suddenly wanted to cry; miss the day of the graduation ceremony, everyoneVolunteersGoing on stage set off the climax of the audience. All the foreigners and Chinese in the audience stood up and applauded us
