　　Time flies. Recently, the first batch of college students in the internship program of Hong Kong Youth Winter Olympics have returned to Hong Kong after six weeks of internship. It is different from mid-June, when I just set foot on the land of the office area of the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee — — Seeing the towering blast furnace, unique office building, surprised eyes flashed frequently, unfamiliar and hesitant, not knowing what the future would bring to me. Now, after more than a month’s internship, Hong Kong students have lost their primness and youth when they first arrived, and they are relaxed and talkative, showing a self-confidence and professional attitude in understanding the preparations for the Winter Olympics. When they want to leave, their eyes are tears of parting and parting as soon as possible. Faced with hundreds of journeys and familiar office areas, Hong Kong students still keep taking pictures when they leave, so as to keep more beautiful memories.

　　Huang Boqian once again came before the leaders of the human resources department of the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee who came to see me off, and once again expressed his wish: "I will take the recruitment examination of the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee and continue to participate in the preparations for the Winter Olympics."

　　Internship broadens one’s horizons.

　　Huang Boqian is a fresh graduate of the Information Management Department of the University of Hong Kong, and a very sunny young man in Hong Kong. The University of Hong Kong attaches great importance to students’ application. During four years of study, Huang Boqian worked as an intern in the management department of medical institutions in Hong Kong. When he came to the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, he was arranged to practice in the technical department and do information system testing. His short six-week work opened his eyes.

　　"The office environment of BOCOG is really open and inclusive, and we can feel as warm as home every day. I am an intern in the technical department. The department leaders and teachers are very approachable and always guide my work. Now, I have a deeper understanding of the Olympic technical system. It is an organic system that integrates communication, timing and scoring, radio and other management. It is as important as people’s nerves, although invisible. This internship not only gained professional knowledge, but also made me love my major more. In the future, I hope to become a technical expert like teachers in the technical department. " Huang Boqian said. Rich internship experience and broadened horizons made him decide to re-plan his life path — — The first step is to take part in the recruitment and get back to the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, so as to further enrich my life experience on this big stage with advanced technology.

　　With the help of the platform organized by the Winter Olympics, Hong Kong students learned about international practices and learned international rules. Liang Zhijun, a student at Lingnan University, recalled, "During my internship in the Marketing Department, I contacted some sponsors. Some are highly internationalized enterprises in the mainland, while others are multinational enterprises abroad. They have found new business opportunities and achieved new development in cooperation with the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee. I have gained a lot by walking with them. "

　　He Yongzhi, a student at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said, "During my internship in the Legal Affairs Department, I came into contact with many legal contracts involving international business. At the same time, I had to review the Chinese and English versions, which was a challenge for me and encouraged me to study language knowledge and legal affairs hard."

　　On the day before departure, Hong Kong students held a party to thank the teachers of the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee. They expressed their feelings and gains in their internship in the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee with a song "Broad Sky".

　　Integrate into the organizing team

　　According to their majors, 20 Hong Kong university students were assigned to work in 11 departments including the International Liaison Department, the Sports Department, the Press and Publicity Department and the Legal Affairs Department. Although their majors are different and their internship positions are different, they feel the same through internships.

　　Like Huang Boqian, Guan Beixin is also a fresh graduate. She comes from City University of Hong Kong, majoring in media and communication, and is an intern in the Press and Publicity Department.

　　When she first came to the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, her Mandarin was very general and she could speak it, but it sounded very hard. "When I first met, I was very anxious to see my colleagues discussing the problem, because I could hardly understand everyone’s fast speech speed and children’s voice." After the meeting, she found her colleagues and read the minutes of the meeting before she knew what everyone said. Fortunately, she still knows simplified Chinese characters.

　　Later, Guan Beixin took the initiative to communicate with his colleagues in Mandarin, and his ability soared.

　　Guan Beixin worked as an intern in the Department of Public Participation and Education. One of her tasks was to receive primary and secondary school students who came to visit the Beijing Winter Olympics Exhibition Center, and many guided tours were completed by Guan Beixin.

　　For Guan Beixin, the improvement of Putonghua ability is only a small gain. "During my internship in the news propaganda department, I participated in the media operation service, held international conferences with international Olympic broadcasting companies and other institutions, and initially learned the international broadcasting business, which was really informative." She said. She also told the reporter a little secret. Before coming here, she didn’t expect the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee to let her participate in the in-depth preparatory work, because in the past, when she was internship in Hong Kong, she mostly worked as a helper and wouldn’t let interns do complicated work. In the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, after a few days, she integrated into the team, so that she often forgot her intern status and felt that she was a staff member of the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee.

　　Guan Beixin and Pan Shuying from the University of Hong Kong both work in the Press and Publicity Department. The two independently completed the introduction of Paralympic sports of the International Paralympic Committee and the translation of the commentary in the Paralympic values video, and at the same time took on the record of international meetings, and their work attitude and quality were well received. "I didn’t expect to give me such an important job at first." This task made Guan Beixin feel a sense of accomplishment.

　　Lu Yingying, a student at Hang Seng University in Hong Kong, said, "Under the guidance of teachers, my internship experience is very substantial. Not only did I participate in some English translation work every day, I learned about the Olympic knowledge management business, but I was also fortunate to be the first Cantonese commentator in the exhibition center of the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee. My classmates called me Net Red. " She said excitedly. "During my internship, I felt the professionalism and dedication of the organizers, and I will bring this spirit and attitude to my future study, and be as diligent and dedicated as them."

　　Lu Yingying has formed a deep friendship with her colleagues in her work and life. When she came to Beijing for the fourth week, she fell ill. Many teachers have given care and greetings, making her feel at home. In the last few days of work, when she heard the word "parting", she couldn’t help crying.

　　The country is really strong.

　　Many Hong Kong students were born after Hong Kong’s return to the motherland in 1997. They learned a lot about the country through textbooks and other media. This time, many people came to Beijing for the first time. Under the arrangement of the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, they learned more about the strength of the country through internship and study, which made them realize that "the country is really strong".

　　On June 22nd, Hong Kong interns spent their first weekend in Beijing in the Forbidden City. When they walked into the Forbidden City, they saw magnificent palace buildings and precious cultural relics with a long history, and their hearts rose with national pride. Many students said that the great motherland and great civilization made every Chinese feel proud.

　　Later, after visiting the National Museum, Guan Beixin said, "There are contents about national history and cultural relics in textbooks from primary school to junior high school. I also visited the History Museum in Hong Kong, but it was just a cursory tour. This time, when I went to the National Museum, I saw more history and cultural relics, and I had a more intuitive feeling. "

　　Wang Fangli, a student at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said, "During the internship, I can feel that behind Beijing’s successful bid for the Winter Olympics and solid preparations for the Winter Olympics, the country’s strong comprehensive strength is the support. I am proud and proud of my motherland. "

　　Zhang Hao, a student of Hong Kong University of Education, said, "This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China. I think it is very meaningful to come to Beijing at this time. I have seen Beijing’s development achievements and hope to start a business or work in Beijing in the future. I fell in love here. "

　　On July 20th, the fifth weekend of Hong Kong students’ internship and the last weekend of their stay in Beijing, they came to the Great Wall. After thousands of years of trials and tribulations, this symbol of national spirit still stands. Many students stood on the Great Wall and shouted, "We are descendants of the dragon" and "No matter how the situation changes, the Great Wall is still here".

　　The students said that when we return to Hong Kong, we will share our internship experience and feelings with our classmates in Hong Kong, and also give them the opportunity to participate in the internship program, so that more people can understand the Olympics and experience the strength of the country.

　　Before leaving Beijing, Hong Kong students often patronize the franchised stores in the office area, buy some souvenirs, or collect them themselves, or prepare to send them to friends and relatives. Huang Boqian bought several badges and pencil cases, and Guan Beixin was more interested in clothes. Several students bought a lot of souvenirs at once and simply asked the clerk for a big box to carry back to the hotel.

　　Many Hong Kong interns and the staff of the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee made an agreement that they must sign up when the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee recruits volunteers for the Games. They are looking forward to the opportunity to come to Beijing again during the Winter Olympics and get together with the mentors and friends of the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee.
