Volunteers’ Feedback

“It was a great honor for me to participate in the China Development Forum as a volunteer this spring. During my guiding work, I encountered a foreign lady with limited mobility. I proactively communicated with her in English, coordinated a shuttle bus for her, and ensured she arrived at the venue on time smoothly. This seemingly ordinary act made me realize that the significance of volunteer service goes beyond completing tasks; it lies in responding to others’ needs, and bringing warmth and shouldering responsibility. During the forum, I also had the privilege of listening to in-depth discussions among political, business, and academic elites on topics such as ‘Chinese Path to Modernization’ and ‘High-Standard Opening-up’, giving me a more concrete understanding of national development strategies. As a CUEBer, I realized that the young should actively integrate into the national development landscape, broaden our horizons, and enhance our competency. My belief in serving society with professional knowledge was strengthened through this work.”(Hu Xin, Graduate from the School of Economics, Grade 2024)

“It was a great honor for me to participate in the volunteer service of the 2025 China Development Forum. This experience was precious and unforgettable for me.

Facing participants from different cultural backgrounds, I offered assistance with great enthusiasm, striving to convey China’s friendliness. During the service, I truly felt China’s influence on the global stage, and a sense of national pride welled up in my heart. This volunteer service not only brought me growth but also helped me realize my value.

“It is a profound honor to participate in the 2025 China Development Forum as a volunteer. This experience allowed me to witness the high standards of a major international conference. The meticulous pre-forum training solidified my determination to devote myself to the role with utmost dedication. Stationed at the North Gate security check, providing directions, and verifying credentials, my job was to enhance conference efficiency. Through this activity, I enhanced my adaptability and attention to detail, improved my English communication skills while guiding international guests, and discovered the deeper significance of volunteering: it is not only a ladder for personal growth but also a window to convey warmth to the world. Moving forward, I will carry these insights into my professional endeavors, continuing to embody the spirit of service and demonstrating the responsibility and passion of today’s youth through action.”(Wang Ruochen, Graduate from the International School of Economics and Management, Grade 2023)

Witnessing their timely access to information through our efforts sparked an innate sense of accomplishment. I realized that volunteering transcends physical labor; it is a heartfelt process of sharing warmth and care. Moreover, I was struck by the guests’ keen interest in and recognition of China’s development.
