Hard to leave

As the end of her voluntary service approached, Ho said she could not imagine having to leave Hangzhou.

"I thought I would have mixed emotions," she said, adding that her volunteer experience would hold a special place in her heart and be one of the most beautiful memories of her life.

Wang Jie, director of the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee's volunteer department, said that throughout the Games, the volunteers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan demonstrated exceptional selflessness and dedication.

There was an overwhelming response to the volunteer recruitment process during the preparatory period, with about 317,000 people applying.

A total of 37,600 volunteers were chosen from this pool for various tasks, including language services, reception work, technical support and venue maintenance throughout the Games.

Volunteers were known as "little green lotuses," a term inspired by the color of their uniforms. The nickname symbolized their role as the "vibrant power" behind the scenes and also reflected the deep affection people held for them.

Wang said 60 "little green lotuses "were from Hong Kong, four came from Macao, and eight from Taiwan.

Among the 60 from Hong Kong, 29 were recommended by the University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. They worked at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Tennis Centre. In addition, 27 volunteers were recommended by two social organizations — the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups and the Hong Kong Island Women's Association. They provided services at the Tonglu Equestrian Centre.

Most of the volunteers from Macao and Taiwan were university students studying on the mainland, who were recruited through open enrollment.

Volunteers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan with relatively good language skills often worked as receptionists or translators.

Wang said he was touched by the volunteers' personal stories and their willingness to serve.

For example, Lam Ho-fung, who works for the MTR Corp, the sole rail operator in Hong Kong, previously volunteered for international events 18 times, including the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province.

After learning that the 19th Asian Games would be held in Hangzhou, Lam traveled to the city from Hong Kong, aptly becoming a volunteer for the 19th time.

Wang said that after interacting with the volunteers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, he felt their strong sense of national identity, adding that they were proud to contribute to a large-scale event being staged by China.

He said these volunteers exhibited a proactive and open attitude when interacting with others. Many of them who have sports hobbies had a more professional understanding of international events, he said.

Some of these volunteers underwent training before arriving in Hangzhou, highlighting their commitment to Asian Games, Wang added.

Residents of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan face additional challenges in performing voluntary work, including coordinating their time, managing their work and studies, and dealing with travel problems, Wang said. He expressed deep gratitude to these volunteers for overcoming such obstacles and wholeheartedly contributing to the Asian Games.

He said that in addition to the Asian Games, Hangzhou has hosted various large-scale events, such as the G20 Summit and the China International Cartoon Animation Festival. It will also stage the Global Digital Trade Expo next month.

Wang said he hoped the Asian Games would serve as a catalyst to foster more communication and exchanges between Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

"We would welcome residents from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan visiting Hangzhou more often in the future," he added.
