At this moment, waiting with bated breath in front of the TV, I could no longer suppress the excitement and joy in my heart. Like the Chinese Olympic delegation present, I jumped up from my seat and waved my arms vigorously. All my emotions gathered into a powerful shout. I know that at this moment, all descendants of Yan and Huang are excited and shouting for it; from this moment on, every Chinese son and daughter should prepare for the Olympics.

Time flies, and the Beijing Olympics is coming in the blink of an eye. The scene of Beijing’s successful bid for the Olympics eight years ago has never faded in my memory, and inspired me to become a "lucky Beijing"——Volunteer for the National Aquatics Center test event. The moment I learned that I was selected as a volunteer, I believed that this was my best opportunity to serve the Beijing Olympics, and it would definitely become a chapter worth remembering in my life.

The National Aquatics Center is vividly called the "Water Cube" because of its unique appearance. The Water Cube is a dreamy place for everyone who captures it, attracting countless eyes, including my own choice. The volunteer work at the venue in recent days has made me deeply realize that the "Water Cube" is indeed worthy of its name. The crystal clear appearance and the simple and bright interior are almost perfectly combined, but the real soul of the Water Cube is the behind-the-scenes workers that people rarely see or understand - the National Aquatics Center operation team.

My volunteer position is the assistant of the venue operation center. In my daily work, I can come into contact with team members at all levels such as the venue director, managers of each business office, and volunteers of each business office. If I were to use one word to describe this team, then I think "big family" would be the most appropriate word to describe it. The directors, deputy directors, and business managers in the team have a clear division of labor. Although the superior-subordinate relationship must be observed during work, no one dominates others by virtue of hierarchical power. On the first day I entered the library, I deeply felt the warmth of this established "big family." Some people may say that the warmth among members is the natural result after a team has been together for a period of time, but for me, a stranger to the volunteers, the Water Cube "big family" has allowed me to integrate into it as quickly as possible and become one of them. I believe that volunteers in other positions will have the same feeling. On my first day at the venue, members of my department allayed my fears with cordial and cordial conversations. Once, when it was time for dinner, the secretary-general of the team who had just finished handling the affairs said kindly to the volunteers present: "Children, stop what you are doing and go eat." In an instant, I felt that the voice was so familiar, as if I had returned home. We wanted to insist on finishing the work before going back, but she was "bombed" out of the office. While we were leaving, she returned to her desk and continued to work... At this moment, I suddenly understood why this team made me feel strong cohesion on the first day of contact, why every member of the team spontaneously possessed the spirit of "fighting hard", and why this team was able to make the "Water Cube" run in an orderly manner on the second day after entering the museum...

With the completion of the "Water Cube", she unveiled her mysterious veil in front of everyone. When you admire her stunning appearance, please don't forget the behind-the-scenes operation team that is or has been stationed in the past. It is they who gave the "Water Cube" an aura as clear as water.
