“I contribute, I am happy” to “I exchange, I am happy”
Central District Volunteer Liu Jia
I have been volunteering at the National Stadium for a few days. With the accumulation of experience in the past few days, everyone has become more and more skilled in the sales and cashier work here. Everyone is providing thoughtful and fast services to customers in their own positions.
Our work is very ordinary and hard. We need to stand for a long time every day. Many times we just repeat the same work, which is a bit boring. But as store manager Xiao Meng said when everyone met at the store for the first time, he hopes that we will be happy when we come to work every day. After a few days of work, we have reaped the joy of dedication. This happiness comes from the "thank you" in response from the customers, from the smiles, from everyone cheering each other on, and from the applause and cheers from the stadium for the Chinese team to win the championship. And today, everyone has discovered a new source of happiness——"pin trading” (Badge Exchange).
Exchanging badges at the Olympics is a cultural thing. "If there are no people who exchange badges in an Olympic Games, then this Olympics will lack a cultural heritage," someone commented on the important status of badge culture. When we are at work, we often see foreign badge enthusiasts wearing various badges on their ID lanyards, hats, clothes, and bags. There are badges from sports delegations, media organizations, sponsors, and cultural groups. These colorful little things with different shapes attract everyone's attention like magnets. When we see something special, we will ask about its origin. It turns out that each small badge is not only a commemorative mark for various events and celebrations or a certain group, but its preciousness also comes from the fun of finding and exchanging it.
Soon, everyone joined in exchanging badges, and the mantra became "Do you want to w88 with me? "We are still just"pin trading"'s "rookie". We suffer from the fact that we don't have enough badges to exchange. When someone wants to exchange the one we finally got, we are reluctant to exchange it. But also because of this, we will shout happily to get a badge we like, and everyone will gather around the lucky person who gets the badge to share the luck and happiness.
And badge fans are interested in "pin trading"What kind of attitude is it??For us now, every badge we get is regarded as a treasure and we are not willing to exchange it with others easily. Badge fans generally care about the process of exchange. The so-called "I exchange, I am happy", "Only care about what you once had" . This itself also has another meaning of badge exchange, always pursuing the latest and most complete things. It is precisely because of this pursuit that Olympic badges can be exchanged and circulated around the world, allowing more people to share various badges that have never been seen before.
The small badge seems to have a magical power, which instantly shortens the distance between people and the world. There is no strangeness, only the intimacy generated by the love for the badge. We were strangers a moment ago, but now we can communicate with each other easily and comfortably. I believe that when the Olympic Games are over, the joy brought by exchanging badges will become one of the most unforgettable and splendid experiences for every partner who has served in the Olympic Games, and our memories will sparkle！(Reprinted from "Briefing of the Volunteer Team in the Central District of the w88 casino" No.18Issue, slightly modified by the editor)
