When the birthday coincides with the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and the traditional Chinese year, the “villagers” and volunteers from all over the world are “wrapped” in happiness in Yanqing Winter Olympic village.
The day before yesterday afternoon, 19 volunteers who celebrated their birthday in January had a warm, unforgettable and moving collective birthday party.
At 8 o’clock last night, Italian sled athlete Lyon became the first foreign athlete to celebrate his birthday in the Winter Olympic village. Yan Han, Secretary General of Yanqing Winter Olympic Village, and Zhang Jing, deputy director of outreach, sent a birthday cake on behalf of Cheng Hong, the village head. Looking at the exquisite birthday cake and the tulips just opened, the “Post-00” repeatedly said “thank you!”. The Winter Olympic Village restaurant, which can accommodate nearly 1000 people, has a strong annual flavor under the “embellishment” of the birthday song.
Hold a collective birthday party for 19 volunteers
At the birthday party, Petrochina Company Limited(601857) university volunteer Yao Ganlin and 18 other little birthday stars received exquisite paintings, souvenirs and handwritten birthday cards prepared by the venue operation team. They sang birthday songs, ate cakes and opened gifts together to share the joy of this special birthday party in the closed ring.
The Spring Festival is coming. Decorated with lanterns and window flowers, the volunteer home in Yanqing village is full of New Year atmosphere. The birthday wall was also carefully arranged, and the volunteer team drew exclusive commemorative paintings for the little birthday stars.
In the warm atmosphere, Yan Han offered birthday wishes to the birthday stars, “you should do a good job in inheriting from the ‘bird’s Nest Generation’ to the ‘generation that looks down on the world’, become a new generation of self-confidence, sunshine and openness, and let the smile of volunteers become a warmer sunshine in the Winter Olympics.”
There is also a special part of the birthday party. In the early stage, the volunteer team learned that Yan Hongwei’s father Yan Bin was the lighting designer of the facade of the bird’s nest for the 2008 Beijing Winter Olympics. The video connection connecting “two generations of Olympians” was opened at the collective birthday party.
Yanqing Winter Olympic village has officially opened. Volunteers greet ice and snow athletes from all over the world with the most sincere smile, full enthusiasm and professional service every day. “I hope this collective birthday party can make the volunteers feel the warmth of the venue operation team.” Deng, volunteer manager of Yanqing village, listened to the introduction.
Italian boys celebrate “Chinese birthday”
Fuzi paper-cut, tulips just opened, birthday cake… Behind every birthday gift, there is the heart of Cheng Hong, the village head of the Winter Olympic Village, the village head’s office and the staff of various departments.
“Village head Cheng Hong specially reminded everyone to find out the foreign athletes whose birthday is between February and March. Everyone should give a small gift for a Chinese birthday.” The relevant person in charge said.
Entering the Winter Olympic village is like getting home. The staff in the village interpret this sentence with practical actions. Lyon is the first foreign athlete to celebrate his birthday. When preparing the gift, the village took a lot of trouble.
Birthday cakes and birthday songs are necessary, and paper cuts with the words “Fu” and “Yanqing Winter Olympic Village” are not difficult to make. But the flowers that express blessings make everyone a little “embarrassed”.
In order not to delay the birthday party, the staff specially chose a pot of tulips just sent to the village. “This basin has been opened. It is bright yellow and pink, and it is in bud. It’s just right for the young man.” Everyone spoke with one voice.
The staff immediately put into the intense “flowerpot” production. Three girls sat on the ground in the office, cut the large mineral water bottle with scissors, and transformed the bottom of the bottle into a “flowerpot”. After making, paste the prepared blessing characters on it.
Careful preparation brought the smile of “birthday star”. When gifts and blessings came, the Italian boy Lyon was excited and said with a smile that “happiness came a little suddenly”.
Celebrate a Chinese birthday and experience the Chinese Spring Festival. As Cheng Hong said, Yanqing Winter Olympic Village, as a home for athletes, welcomes every “villager” home for the new year.
The birthday party in the Winter Olympic village makes foreign visitors no longer “miss their relatives”, but kiss with the “villagers” from all over the world.
