Du An’na, a sunny and chipper girl, from Gansu province, is a junior undergraduate at Beijing Forestry University(BFU), who became a volunteer for the Beijing Winter Olympics and provided transportation consulting services to foreign journalists in Main Media Center(MMC). She worked with friends to invent a QR code which enabled journalists to capture the most comprehensive and accurate timetable, greatly improving their travel efficiency. The small QR code, praised by the U.S. Olympic Committee, is the epitome of her careful observation and enthusiastic service, and it is also the concrete embodiment of the creative spirit of BFUers and Chinese volunteers.
Wu Mengmeng, Shi Xiang, Zheng Yi, Xue Haozhen and other 30+ volunteers from BFU also appeared in the live video of volunteers. At the same time, 95 field volunteers and 120 city volunteers still remained at their posts in and outside the Stadium to make sure the closing ceremony a great success.
