A volunteer’s view of the Olympic Games opening ceremony

As a VIP accompanying volunteer, this8Although I can't go back home or go for an internship, when I think that I can be a part of the Olympic Games, I feel that all my efforts are worth it. 8 month 4 日 ,us15Dignified guests accompanied volunteers to participate in the International Olympic Committee’s first event12011528_11576 8 month 7 日 , we were suddenly notified to serve at the opening ceremony, which really made me excited for a long time.

8 month 8 日 Morning6At noon, I arrived at the west gate of the w88 casino early. Although there is no shuttle bus, everyone squeezes into the bus together and is still talking and laughing. Along the way, we were all talking about tonight's opening ceremony and imagining various scenes at the scene. The excitement and joy in our hearts were beyond words.

After arriving at the Olympic Village, we went through security checks one by one. We had to take pictures of the ground with our cameras and try the water. At such a critical moment, we couldn’t be careless about anything. After entering the Olympic Village, everyone couldn't wait to take out their cameras and kept taking pictures on the road, hoping to leave a souvenir of their own on such a historic day.

After circling the bird's nest, we found the passage in. As soon as we entered, we saw several huge drum-shaped wooden stakes. Later we found out that these were the props that could be raised and lowered into pillars. They were used in the last unit of the opening ceremony's artistic performance, "Rituals and Music". In the warehouse next to it was the big can that was used for the opening ceremony. Everyone was very excited and excited. We all said the same thingWe are finally here, not only are we finally standing here, but today our entire Chinese nation is finally standing here, standing on the world stage, telling the world an Eastern legend.

After entering the seats on the first floor, it was still very early, only after eight o'clock. Since there were no specific work instructions from our superiors, we took advantage of this little time to get to know the Bird's Nest well. Starting from the lobby on the first floor, we visited almost all the areas within our rights. I originally planned to go to the third floor to have a look, but I was stopped by security when I walked to the golden banquet hall. Later, when I went to the service, I learned that that was where the heads of state entered and was the backstage of the core VIP area. But we have observed every detail in the Bird's Nest, such as international drinking water, elegantly designed restrooms, buffet tables in the halls outside the auditoriums on each floor, etc. Although it was very stuffy inside the Bird's Nest, the joy and excitement that the Olympic Games were about to begin completely dissipated the stuffiness.

After helping volunteers from other brother schools to do some work, time has passed11It was past o'clock, and the leader of the concierge office of the International Liaison Department prepared lunch for us at the Guoyu Hotel opposite the Bird's Nest. Considering that we might work until the early morning and have no time to eat, the lunch was very rich, with six dishes and one soup. Everyone was full and ready for the high-intensity work in the afternoon and evening.

After lunch, we returned to the Bird's Nest with the concierge staff. The arrangements in the afternoon and morning are very different, because the audience can enter at four o'clock, and because the water supplied to the audience is only shipped in the afternoon, it takes us several hours to complete the original day's tasks. Although the task is simple, you only need to check the small bag on each seat to confirm whether the contents are complete, then put a bottle of water inside, and finally put the qualified small bag flat on the chair. However, due to the tight time, the labor intensity has increased virtually. We boys are mainly responsible for carrying water, and girls are responsible for checking the small bags and putting water in the bags. To our surprise, due to the clear division of labor between everyone, the task was completed quickly. Although my head began to ache due to the intensity of the work, I suddenly regained my confidence when I thought of everyone's concerted efforts. We will definitely complete the task successfully tonight! Because we are a team, not just a combination of volunteers. After the task was completed, we took a rest in our seats to conserve our energy for the large amount of work of leading and checking tickets after the audience entered the venue.

With about two hours left before the opening ceremony, another VIP accompanying volunteer Li Tong and I were called to move and fill water for the core VIP area. After we filled up the water, we returned to the group and found everyone still sitting there, so we had to regain some strength. Due to the special conditions of the Bird's Nest, air conditioning cannot be installed inside, so it is relatively hot inside. We drink a lot of water, and we finished the newly filled water in a short time. So I went to the hall to fill up the water. At this time, the audience had already started to enter the venue, and it was after six o'clock. After filling the water, I was arranged in251Carry out ticket checking and guidance work in the channel. The people who enter the seats through that passage are basically foreigners, because the seats are reserved for Olympic sponsors and partners. Due to the particularity of seating and aisle arrangements, guests often sit in the wrong area, so we need to guide them to where they should sit250Guests in the passage area are returned to their original areas. This whole process really tested our English language skills and on-site response capabilities, because the guests came from many countries, many of whom did not speak English well, and required our patient explanation and guidance. I also spoke Cantonese during this period, which reminded me that I must be flexible when performing volunteer services in order to better cope with various emergencies.

After working for more than an hour, everything seems to be ready. I chatted with volunteers and security personnel from other schools around me and found that everyone was in a good mood today, because this is a day that is difficult to replicate for our Chinese nation. This is the day when our century-old dream comes true!

At this time, the opening performance has begun, I am251After showing the surrounding audience how to use the props in the bag, the channel returned to the VIP area. What impressed me deeply was that I met a kind foreigner while checking in.国老Madam, she said it as soon as she came inIt’s beautiful, just beautiful.Then she took out her camera and started taking pictures. I quickly got out of the way, she saidNo, a picture with you!My heart is extremely warm. Our hard work has been respected, and at the same time we have won honor for the motherland. I think as a volunteer, what more can I ask for?

The opening ceremony is about to begin, and the staff managing the VIP seats assigned me a new task, which is to keep foreign spectators away from the railings in the core VIP area, or to talk to the VIPs, to ensure safety. At this time, there are only two or three minutes left before the opening ceremony begins. When the host teaches the audience how to use the props, the actors have already begun to code the props.

Before the opening ceremony, leaders entered the venue one after another. Wen Jiabao, Xi Jinping, Wu Bangguo, Jiang Zemin and his wife, Li Lanqing and other current and former party and state leaders, Bush, Sarkozy, Schroeder, Musharraf, Princess Anne and other dignitaries from various countries all walked past me and entered the core VIP area. I suddenly felt like I had entered a news broadcast. These big shots all gathered in such a small area in an instant, just a few steps away from me. This was something I had never imagined.

After the distinguished guests took their seats, President Hu Jintao and President Rogge entered the room. This is the second time I have met the Chairman. The last time was in120Plenary meeting. When the opening ceremony ended and the chairman left the stage, I really wanted to shout "Hello, chairman!" But considering the particularity and seriousness of my position, I did not do so. Those foreign guests all crowded towards the core VIP area. Only then did I realize that my job was very difficult, so I could only explain it to them patiently. Fortunately, everyone is very considerate of our work and very cooperative. So after the guests sat down and the leaders arrived, we volunteers also began to sit down and enjoy this grand event.

As soon as I sat down, the lights dimmed. Everything starts in an instant. Get your camera out and get ready. At this moment, it seemed like all of everyone's dreams came together in an instant. The century-old Olympic dream has come true at this moment.

When the athletes entered the venue, the hardest part was the actors who formed a square formation in the venue, jumping and shouting. An actress facing the rostrum fainted on the spot and was carried off the court. In the middle of a sweltering bird's nest, shouting and dancing for nearly two hours was a great challenge to human physical strength, but these actors persevered.

The glory of tonight's Olympic Games belongs to everyone, and it belongs even more to the staff who have worked hard and contributed to the glory of the Olympic Games. How could we have such a wonderful opening ceremony without them!

When the Chinese team entered the stadium, the applause was extremely fierce. The children Yao Ming and Lin Hao walked together, which was touching. Although it has been almost three months since the Wenchuan earthquake, the emotion and shock at that time still remain in our hearts. That kind of pain will never be forgotten by the Chinese nation. While we are joyful tonight, we should also have a piece of pure land in our hearts to mourn and mourn the dead souls, and also to bless and celebrate the surviving compatriots. Xiao Linhao is also our future and the representative of the hope of the motherland. I hope that the motherland can always be prosperous and the people's livelihood is peaceful!

International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said in his speech: "We would also like to express our special thanks to the thousands of volunteers who have selflessly dedicated themselves. Without them, none of this would be possible." As volunteers, from today on we must work even harder to contribute our modest efforts to the Olympics!

All work is over, it’s almost one o’clock in the morning. I brought back a bag of opening ceremony supplies, which contained two rattles, which I later exchanged with my colleagues, two program books, an electronic torch, two small flashlights, an auspicious cloud scarf, a raincoat for the core VIP area, a Chinese flag, and a box of smile circles. By this time, my headache had slowly subsided. Just when we, a group of sleepless volunteers, were about to go back to w88 casino, our superiors informed us that there was a celebration banquet. We rush back to the bird's nest. When we came to the golden restaurant in the core VIP area on the third floor, a staff member was celebrating his birthday. There were wine, drinks and cookies there. Although there was nothing else, we still ate happily and enjoyed ourselves. After all, we participated in history and this great opening ceremony. By the way, we also ran into the core VIP area to take photos with the torch as the background!

Minister Zhao from the International Liaison Department said that he had been standing in the front row throughout the opening ceremony, worried about emergencies. This can’t help but make me feel very emotional. The Chinese people all know that this Olympic Games is not easy and full of hardships. We have endured misunderstandings and misunderstandings to prepare for this grand event. Now everything has become a reality, everything has ended successfully, and China is letting the world know that this is the real China.

We didn’t return to the dormitory until after two o’clock in the evening. Although we couldn’t take a shower, we were extremely excited. Tonight, a century-old dream has finally come true. World, please take a closer look at this beautiful country. Although it has many shortcomings, it has been making progress, making itself better, and spreading its ideals of harmony and peace to every corner of the world. As an ordinary volunteer, I don't have the ability to make much contribution to the Olympic Games, but starting from every detail, we can contribute our modest efforts to make this Olympic Games better, more successful, and more complete!

I want to say: I love this country, I love the Olympic Games, I love volunteer work, because I am a volunteer!
