This also strengthens the heart of volunteering forever!” April 8 , Zhang Fan, who was awarded the title of “Outstanding Contributor to the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics”, said excitedly at the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympic Games Summary and Commendation Conference.
Zhang Fan is a counselor at the School of Basic Medicine of Hebei Medical University. In September last year, after learning that the school needed teachers to lead a team to participate in volunteer services, he did not hesitate to sign up. During the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics, he was an accommodation incentive volunteer.
“As a ‘volunteer of volunteers’, we can only live up to our mission if we are warmly guarded, protect the mental health and work enthusiasm of all volunteers, and internalize family and country feelings in our hearts and externalize them in our actions.” Party activities, party members and volunteers revisited the oath of joining the party, the school day of the branch group… As the only volunteer teacher in the group at that time, Zhang Fan not only led the 121 volunteers in the school, but also was responsible for the management of volunteers in 8 colleges and universities.
Behind the completion of the task, the sincere dedication of all members of the team is inseparable.
“Under the influence of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, holding a world-class event is a huge challenge for medical and epidemic prevention work. As the captain, I feel a great responsibility.” Liu Gang, medical officer of the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University, said that as the captain, he led The management team of the First Hospital is responsible for the overall coordination and scheduling of the nucleic acid testing shelter laboratory in the Zhangjiakou competition area. “Play the first move well and play the active battle”. The pre-match drills and replays are to quickly adapt to the new laboratory environment in a short period of time. , new positions, the key to forming a strong fighting force.
The hard work of the team has built an indestructible safety barrier to protect the health of all participating parties. During the competition, the team members stayed in the Fangcang laboratory for 6 to 8 hours. It was normal for the hands in the gloves to be soaked with sweat and the palms to be soaked with sweat. After the Winter Paralympic Games ended, the team remained at their posts until the beginning of April, working continuously for more than three months to ensure the safe removal of all relevant personnel from the Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympic Games.
For polyclinic teams, the challenge begins at the clinic preparation stage. “Due to the impact of the epidemic, the infrastructure was still in the final stage when it officially moved in in November last year, and the equipment, materials, and living necessities were not in place.” Zhangjiakou Winter Olympic Village General Clinic Medical Officer, No. Hou Qian, secretary of a temporary party branch, said.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy. According to the requirement of “can’t stop for a moment, can’t go wrong in one step, can’t afford to miss one day”, all the hardware facilities were ready in January this year, and more than 300 procedures, rules and regulations were finalized. The efforts paid off in the end. The preparatory work of the clinic has been highly recognized by the IOC expert team of the International Olympic Organizing Committee, laying a solid foundation for the follow-up work.
Race against time to escort the event
“The successful completion of this volunteer service task is inseparable from the comprehensive preparation training before the competition.” He Hongtao, medical officer of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, said at the Winter Olympics Volunteer Report.
Formulate security plans, prepare site materials, determine team positions, and organize training drills… In November 2021, He Hongtao and his colleagues settled in Chongli, Zhangjiakou ahead of schedule, and worked closely on various coordination and preparations. During the preparation period, they can switch multiple identities at any time, they can be commanders, porters and cleaners, ranging from lifting equipment, assembling lockers, small to the positioning of each socket, table and chair, and all aspects of work. , Every second counts, work more than 10 hours a day.
In the medical security team, there is such a special group, known as “the most skilful among doctors, and the most able to treat diseases on the slopes” – ski doctors, who use speed to protect life.
“At the beginning of 2019, I was selected into the Winter Olympics Ski Medical Insurance Dream Team and became the first generation of ski doctors in China. This is my great honor.” Li Yazhou, medical officer of the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, introduced that the outdoor ice and snow events at the Winter Olympics are very difficult. The speed is fast and the probability of injury is high. The first time an athlete is found injured, the ski doctor carries a 15kg first aid kit. It takes 4 minutes to arrive and 10 minutes to clear the field to resume the game.
This requires doctors to have excellent skills in both rescue techniques and skiing techniques.
For this reason, after being selected as the Winter Olympics Ski Medical Support Dream Team, they conducted four snow seasons of intensive training and preparations. Training, injury, rehabilitation, and retraining have also become the “cycle” mode for most ski doctors. After skating more than 4,000 kilometers and training for nearly 200 days, the training was repeated over and over again, just to race against time when an athlete was injured and to escort the event.
Through hard training, two doctors, Li Zhenhua and Cheng Zian, from the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University were also selected into the Winter Olympics Skiing Medical Insurance Dream Team. As “first-generation ski doctors”, they have to stand for 6 to 8 hours on the icy and snowy track. Accompanied by ice, snow and strong wind, the body temperature is usually below -30 ℃, and the fingers and toes are often frozen. It is a great challenge both physically and mentally to keep your nerves tight and ready for rescue.

During this Winter Olympics trip, nearly 100 college student volunteers from Hebei Medical University met with ice and snow, silently dedicating their youth to the smooth running of the event, and vividly interpreting the connotation of the volunteer spirit taking root in the Winter Olympics with practical actions.
“From the online registration in 2019 to the upcoming service competition, we have experienced interviews and selections, all-round trainings, and various activities of various sizes. When our efforts are about to be put into reality, we are very excited! “On January 24, Qin Yifan, an anti-doping volunteer who was about to embark on the Winter Olympics service journey, said.
Sign up for the Winter Olympics volunteers, three years of preparation, six rounds of screening, several drills, two months of actual combat, and the dream of going to Chongli to serve the Winter Olympics has finally come true. As an anti-doping escort, Qin Yifan is mainly responsible for finding the selected athletes, informing them that they need to undergo doping inspection and escorting them to the checkpoint and supervising their behavior on the way. It is normal for anti-doping volunteers to go out at 4:30 in the morning and stay busy until 12:00 in the morning. In the weather of -25°C, one building after another is looking for selected athletes, or standing on the track for three or four. hours without complaining.
“We are willing because of our aspirations. The cold weather can’t stop our enthusiasm for volunteering. Every time we successfully complete a task, we feel full of satisfaction in our hearts.” Qin Yifan said frankly.
Medical professional volunteer Zhang Xu felt the same way: “Volunteering is spontaneous dedication and service. Serving the Winter Olympics is not only an unforgettable experience, but also a precious treasure that will be remembered for a lifetime.”
In the early stage of the Winter Olympics guarantee, Zhang Xu was responsible for language translation and information entry at the athlete medical station, and in the later stage, he was responsible for sensory control and sterilization and drug verification at the FOP medical station.
A first aid drill impressed Zhang Xu deeply. Due to the adjustment of personnel, a simulated wounded was needed for the helicopter transfer exercise. At this time, Zhang Xu volunteered to stand up.
“In order to work more conveniently, I took off my down jacket and only wore a thin protective suit to practice in the weather of -25°C. The hands in the medical gloves were soaked with sweat, and when the cold wind blew, it was biting cold.” Zhang Xu recalled, “Although the body is cold, the heart is warm. Through this first aid drill, I really felt the hardships of the medical security team, and I deeply felt the responsibility and responsibility as a medical student.” (Hebei Daily reporter Dong Linye）
