w88 casino News Network (Olympic frontline publicity and reporting team draft)8month21日. Ten o'clock in the morning. Beijing. Guangxi Gate.
Following the bustling crowd, I walked into13The bright and spacious hall of Chengdu Guangximen Station. The fine rain falling outside shrouded the skyscrapers standing on the street in a mist. At this time, the Olympic city suddenly had a quiet and romantic atmosphere. Walking off the platform, I met the first social volunteer I wanted to interview today, who works at Guangximen Subway Station and is from the w88 casino of Finance, w88 casino06Level Zhong Engeng. At the University of International w88 and Economics, there are about 70 social volunteers like him, distributed on the urban railway13Line No. Dongzhimen to Beiyuan6stations.
Guangximen Station, arrived
Wearing a neat and new navy blue lapel work shirt and a white and blue baseball cap, with a sincere smile on his face, this was the first time I saw Zhong Engeng. On the noisy and crowded station platform, he and another social volunteer from the University of International w88 went back and forth to patrol.
"We have to work every day. Although there are shifts, each position still requires six or seven hours of work." Zhong Engeng said. "We started from7month20We have been serving here since a few days ago. Our responsibilities include: providing language services for foreign passengers, providing transfer guidance for passengers, and we also need to participate in maintaining order in the subway. ”
During the interview, several passengers came to ask for directions because they were not familiar with the road. Zhong Engeng and his colleagues took out an Olympic Games Guide from their pockets, looked at the map and carefully helped them solve these questions. Zhong Engeng said that giving directions has become the highlight of their daily work. "We often meet foreigners who don't speak English. We can only help him (her) call the foreign language service hotline and choose the language he (she) uses. In addition, some passengers will complain to us because we don't know the road. This is because they don't know the details of social volunteers, and we understand their mood. In this case, we will choose to explain patiently, and more passengers still support us."
In addition to some difficulties encountered in service, Zhong Engeng and his colleagues believe that more challenges come from their working environment. When I arrived at Guangximen Station, I noticed that the platform here is open-air and not completely enclosed. This means that in those hot and humid weather conditions, the social volunteers working here have to endure the harsh environment and fight continuously. "The environment here is indeed not very good. Last time, a child (referring to a social volunteer, reporter's note) was bitten by mosquitoes and his legs were swollen," said an aunt who works here as a guide. "The weather is very hot. It's not convenient to eat or drink here. They have to deal with it themselves. It's quite hard."
Despite the difficulties, the enthusiasm of social volunteers to serve the Olympics is still high, and they are often praised by passengers. “We have two here from the w88 casino of Public Administration0711260_11516
Shaoyaoju Station, arrived
After leaving Guangximen Station, I took the bus to another station where volunteers from the Foreign Economic and w88 Society worked, the city railway13Shaoyaoju Station on Line 12487_12503| Shaoyaoju Station is a subway station10Line and subway13The transfer station of line 12876_12973| has a large passenger flow on weekdays, and the terrain inside the station is relatively complex. It is the busiest subway station where social volunteers serve. Next to the ticket gate at the entrance, I saw Wang Di, a sophomore majoring in finance from the w88 casino of International Economics and w88 of w88 casino, who was busy working.

"There are no restaurants around the station, so we can only have a good meal at dinner." At this time, Wang Di wiped off the sweat on his forehead with a tissue. "It's hot here, there are many people and it's crowded, but everyone is very happy because we can use our foreign language knowledge and life experience to solve some urgent needs for others, and we can also use our practical actions to bring glory to our alma mater and our motherland, and add luster to the Olympic spirit."
When talking about the experience of volunteer service, Wang Di also revealed some unknown difficulties. “It’s a little more difficult than we thought. This can be considered as some feelings after entering society for the first time. "Wang Di introduced “I remember when we first started serving, we encountered two male passengers bringing folding bicycles into the station because according to the regulations of the subway station, folding bicycles are prohibited items. That time they struggled with us and even made rude remarks, and their views on volunteer work were quite extreme. But we still explained patiently and helped them call the subway hotline for consultation. In the end, it was the staff After helping us out with some kind-hearted passengers, the two people took the initiative to leave the station. In today's China, people still have many misunderstandings about volunteers, but I believe that through our own hard work and the ideological impact of the Olympic Games on the entire society, everyone will gradually understand the nature and value of volunteer work and realize the true connotation of the volunteer spirit that is highly consistent with Olympism."
In actual work, I learned that social volunteers have to face many repetitive and simple tasks every day, such as patrolling the platform and maintaining order at the entrance, which will inevitably make the volunteers feel boring. “We don’t have to hide the boringness of our work. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these tasks are ordinary, but our persistence is the most wonderful thing.” Wang Di said proudly.
“I believe that our volunteers at the University of International w88 and Economics are of high quality, high level, responsible, and willing to endure hardships.” said Kong Weimeng, the person in charge of social volunteers at Shaoyaoju Metro Station and a sophomore girl from w88 casino. “Although our team of social volunteers is not large, no matter from our team leaderZhuang HongyanTeachers, as well as every individual volunteer, are very down-to-earth and contribute their own strength to the Olympics. When we are at Shaoyaoju Metro Station, both the station manager and tourists from foreign countries are satisfied with our work. The webmaster aunt often praises us for our good English, understanding of etiquette, and thoughtfulness. I feel that recognition of our work is an affirmation of w88 casino and an affirmation of the Olympic volunteers. ”
Beiyuan Station, arrived
It is a joy to talk with Peng Qin, a social volunteer at Beiyuan Station.
Peng Qin is a junior student majoring in international w88 at the w88 casino of International Economics and w88. I was impressed by her optimism about volunteering.
"In fact, I didn't encounter any difficulties. The weather was hot and I came here. The work was boring and I had to cheer myself up. What impressed me deeply was that I was not familiar with the subway staff at the beginning. They didn't know the content and nature of our work, so communication was somewhat hindered." Peng Qin said. "But later, after everyone got to know each other, the atmosphere at our work became particularly harmonious. The aunties at the station gave us a lot of help, including mosquito ointment, band-aids, subway navigation maps, etc."
Speaking of interesting things in volunteer life, Peng Qin told me a lot with a smile. She can meet all kinds of people at the station, including company bosses, university teachers, game volunteers, foreign tourists, etc. Peng Qin often answers questions for passengers from all over the world. Because of her enthusiasm and cheerfulness, many passengers' conversations with her "go off topic" from "asking for directions."
“I remember a passenger was about to leave Beijing. He and I felt a lot,” Peng Qin said. “There was also an American kid who wanted to take a photo with me and asked me many interesting questions about the history of Beijing. ”
In addition to these interesting stories, Peng Qin also encountered some episodes in her volunteer life: "Our volunteer uniforms are sponsored by China Mobile, so people often come to ask us if we sell recharge cards, or inquire about new business of some mobile companies. In addition, when taking the bus and entering the w88 casino gate with the identity card of a social volunteer, you will sometimes be questioned. This may be because people don't know much about us. But in general, I feel very honored to be able to contribute a little bit of my strength to the Beijing Olympics!"
Leaving Beiyuan Station, the sky was still drizzling with light rain, and the urban train13Social volunteers at various stations on the Line are still sticking to their posts. In their hearts, there must be a subway bound for happiness, and this happiness comes from the volunteer spirit of "friendship, unity, and dedication". The actions of volunteers are an important force in promoting the construction of a harmonious society. With their hard work and sweat, the social volunteers of the University of International w88 have practiced the volunteer spirit and the Olympic spirit, and have made their own contributions to the Beijing Olympics. Let us remember their names.
