Shenzhen is a city with a volunteer tradition. This time, People from all walks of life and social organizations all throw themselves to the Universiade services, interpreting a different kind of wonderfulness on behalf of Shenzhen, a city of youth and creativity.

As with the "Water Cube" of Beijing and "West Cabin" of Guangzhou, "U Station" across the city will be the main carrier of volunteer services.

Coming close to the volunteers of the Universiade, the most things that reporters have seen are the young faces and shining smiles like UU. With the average age of population is less than 30 years old, Shenzhen is a young city that just celebrated its 30th birthday, and 80%of Shenzhen Universiade volunteers are young people.

Among them, there are university students, workers, overseas students, public servants, pupils, and community security personnel. They practice foreign language a lot, learn the Universiade etiquettes and knowledge, some even study how to smile with a chopstick clasped between the teeth. The lecture series on the introduction of various countries' background knowledge held by Shenzhen University are quite welcomed by students, teachers and citizens.
