Our reporter Zheng Zuwei

　　8month2Early morning of the day5point, Zhao Zhongxiu set out from his home and rushed to Beijing International Hotel to take him out of BeijingPPlate Audi sedan, and then get familiar with the route to the Olympic venues. from morning6Arrive at the International Hotel at half past three until the afternoon4He finished his work at 9919_9948|. Although it was very hard, he couldn't help feeling happy.

Printed on Zhao Zhongxiu’s business card are titles such as dean of the w88 casino of International Economics and w88 of the w88 casino, doctoral supervisor, and deputy secretary-general of the China Society of International w88. But now, in his own words: “I am just an ordinary Olympic driver volunteer. Being a volunteer is my attempt to serve the society in different ways.”

Being a volunteer is more meaningful than anything else

　　 Among the Olympic driver volunteer positions, Zhao Zhongxiu has an advantage: he understands foreign languages and has overseas driving experience. However, he has made a lot of preparations for this Olympics.

As a driver volunteer, he has to serve as an ordinary driver during the Olympic Games. Although many of his colleagues and friends have become Olympic torchbearers, it seems that being a torchbearer is more glorious, but for him, being a volunteer is more meaningful.

"Being a volunteer may be an opportunity for me. Although I cannot watch the Olympic Games, I can still visit the Olympics in person and have close contact with the Olympics." He is not enthusiastic about sports when he talks about volunteers. His feelings about being a volunteer are: "The purpose of being a volunteer at first was very simple, just because I like it, and because now I have the energy and time."

Drove on three continents

Although Zhao Zhongxiu’s driving experience is only6years, but he has rich driving experience. In his words, he is a "person who has driven on three continents." in short614935_14971

Since he got a private car, he often drives from Beijing back to his hometown in Jiangsu. He also drives his family to Yantai, Qufu, Wutai Mountain, Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan and other places. While enjoying the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, he also enjoys the fun of driving.

His long-distance driving experience in the United States and Canada has made him more confident in his driving skills. From Los Angeles to Las Vegas and then to Canada, he passed through beautiful scenic spots such as the Grand Canyon and the Great Falls. He also withstood the test of harsh road sections such as deserts.

　　200616910_17053200It was late at night before we found a hotel to check into in Gronis, many kilometers away.

"Although self-driving travel is hard, you can enjoy a lot of fun." Zhao Zhongxiu has always hoped that his driving experience can one day help others.

Opportunity is2006Year11The moon has finally arrived. At that time, the recruitment of driver volunteers for the Beijing Olympic Games began, and Zhao Zhongxiu submitted the registration application as soon as possible. His behavior also received the understanding and support of his family. "After all, this is a rare opportunity in a century."

After several rounds of testing,ZhaoThe professor’s driving skill score isAlevel, the English test score has also reached4level (both are the highest level).

Divided into different categories according to different service objects, venues and modes7Teams,ZhaoThe professor was lucky enough to be assignedT1Team, “This team receives the highest-level guests from the International Olympic Committee, and has stricter requirements in all aspects. ”

Two years of hard work on software and hardware

How to become an Olympic driver volunteer? Especially becoming the one who picks up and escorts the members of the International Olympic Committee and the presidents of national Olympic committeesT1Part of the Traffic Operations Services team? In Zhao Zhongxiu's view, not only must one have excellent driving skills, but one must also have excellent overall abilities. “Some old drivers have been driving for decades and can get by with their eyes closedSWandering, but driving is not enough. English, etiquette, and Olympic knowledge must be at a certain level. ”

From the time he signed up to being selected, and now becoming a "top volunteer", Zhao Zhongxiu spent two full years practicing his "internal skills". Since he serves important guests of the Olympic Games, the requirements for safety, speed and comfort are very stringent. "During the assessment, the examiner sat next to me. He didn't even have to shake the car a little. All movements must be as standard as in the textbook." He said.

In addition, in order to speak fluent English, Zhao Zhongxiu also spent a lot of time on improving his spoken English. In addition to watching more English programs, watchDVDShi Ye specially chose the original version.

Walking on the streets and walking through alleys, this is how Zhao Zhongxiu knows his way whenever he has time. "We are not divided into areas. We all need to be familiar with the streets and alleys of Beijing, because during the Olympics, we don't know where the guests want to go. If we don't know, it will be difficult." Zhao Zhongxiu said with a smile that he may be more familiar with it than the taxi driver. "Some drivers may not know the entrances and exits of the Olympic venues, parking lots, etc., we have all memorized them."

"Drive with your brain and serve with your heart", "Remember the venue and the route in the hotel", "Don't rush at the start, don't sway when turning, and don't nod when braking"... In the professional basic knowledge training of driver volunteers for the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games, these practical and popular driving jingles have become the "driving guide" that Zhao Zhongxiu often talks about.

If driving skills, spoken English, and familiarity with routes are considered hardware, for one personT1For team volunteers, software “upgrades” are more important. "For guests, a volunteer's performance in etiquette, behavior and conversation sometimes far exceeds the impression left by his driving skills."

Due to the background of living abroad,ZhaoThe professor has a certain understanding of foreign etiquette. When talking, you should also pay attention to the other person's customs and habits, and spend time alone with the distinguished guests. Each volunteer has taboos and cannot ask each other personal questions. "For example, when Chinese people get to know each other, they will ask about some things at home, what their sons and daughters do, but we strictly prohibit these things, and we will never violate the rules."

　“The driver is a very personal service role, so intention is the first priority.” Zhao Zhongxiu gave an example: “Adjust the seats to the best position in advance, open the windows for ventilation and then turn on the cold air in the car to make the air in the car fresh and the temperature suitable. These small details can make foreign friends feel at home.”

There is no distinction between high and low volunteers

The service hours of driver volunteers are not fixed. Guests need to be on duty at any time when they need a car. Such an unfixed position also allowsZhaoThe professor has no chance to go into the stadium to watch the game, and even the chance to watch live TV is very rare. Although a little regretful, Zhao Zhongxiu still seemed optimistic, "While I am waiting for the guests, I can listen to the radio, and I can also pay attention to the wonderful performances of the athletes."

When participating in the Olympic service, the most reluctant thing for Zhao Zhongxiu is his work. In testing, training and other aspects, he tried his best to complete his own work in advance. After officially taking up the post, it was summer vacation, but Zhao Zhongxiu still had a lot of work to deal with. His working hours as a volunteer were from afternoon to evening. “I can come to w88 casino in the morning to work. "He revealed to reporters, "Although I only sleep every day6hours, but I can guarantee that I will have plenty of energy while volunteering. ”

As a doctoral supervisor, he can only work as a driver for others during the Olympic Games. Will there be a psychological gap and will he be overqualified? Zhao Zhongxiu has encountered many similar inquiries. "When you become a volunteer, you should forget your original social position. The only thing to remember is that you are a volunteer who serves others and society. There is no distinction between high and low."

"The vast majority of volunteers cannot watch Olympic games. For example, they clean the Olympic Village, provide services at the stadium, collect tickets under the scorching sun, and send scores back and forth to the competition venues. Many volunteers cannot see the games or contact the stars." Zhao Zhongxiu said, "It is precisely because of the hard work of volunteers behind the scenes that people can enjoy better games."

"Volunteering is a way to reflect personal value."ZhaoThe professor said that since he became a volunteer, his understanding of the three words volunteer has become more profound. "I hope that when I am old, I can also proudly say to young people, 'I am here'"2008Served as a volunteer at the Beijing Olympics in 2018. ”
