Dean Wang Lifeng and Bai Jie, as the lead of the volunteer students, returned home after they have confirmed all the students have returned to university safely. Even it is the first time for HFSU’s teachers and students to take over such huge scale international level event for ICLDC, but this “First Battle” was a beautiful one.
The main core of the ICLDC was the opening ceremony, theme summit and sub forum which located in Zhengding International Exhibition Center on October 17th, the Dean of English College Gao Zhihuai, and teacher Zhang Qiujie, Li Ruisi, Shi Jie, Xu Ping, and Anna were responsible for the simultaneous interpretation of 24 different topics over the conference sub-forum. Zhang Qiujie, Li Ruisi, and Shi Jie were the simultaneous interpretation group for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development Summit Forum, and Dean Gao Zhihuai, Teacher Xu Ping, and Anna are the simultaneous interpretation groups for the China Business Logistics and Logistics City Cooperation Forum. Due to the absent of the conference materials, too many things to work on and too little time to prepare, our teachers “roots” in the Democracy Hall of the HFSU every morning and night. The last evening right before the conference, teacher Li Ruisi stayed on campus overnight for the final preparation. Because the huge workload of ICLDC event, except of the 6 simultaneous teachers, more HFSU’s English teachers joined the translation work, everyone played the spirit of dedication and made a good use of their fragmented time to help on the translation. In the afternoon of the 17th, as 24 thematic materials were not yet in place, on the way our six simultaneous interpretation teachers went to Zhengding International Exhibition Center, the Dean Wang Lifeng and Teacher Bai Jie led the volunteer students to reach out the conference speakers while they did the registration for the coming foreign guests in advance. With the perfect cooperation of the teachers and students from HFSU, the simultaneous interpretation task of the ICLDC on 17th was successfully completed!
The next day after the conference, another important agenda has arrived to us—major scenic sites tour visit in Zhengding. Teacher Zhang Qiujie and Bai Jie organized a tour guide group with the top 10 English volunteer students to guide led foreign guests to Rongguofu and other two sites. Volunteers used the little time before they slept every night and the time while drove to the sites to study and recite the guide contents, in order to offer the best tour for those foreign guides, and let them to know our Hebei better, to know our culture better, and start to love Shijiazhuang forever.
Zhang Qiujie, Bai Jie, and 10 volunteers have to handle all emergencies while the tour guiding like foreign guests were very excited and often got separated from the others. The great efforts which made by the two teachers and volunteers gain a lot confirmation and high praise from the foreign guests. Ms. Dabney Shallhoma, the Chairman of Nigeria Marine Promotion Group gave a warm hug to the tour guide Yang Wenzhuo and held the hand of her tightly along the way of the visit. Although the trip was short, but they already built up an unforgettable friendship with each other.

From the selection of volunteers, coordinate with relevant departments, preparation, and to the participate of teachers and students, every one took their time and spared their effort, but with a very worthy affirmation from the provincial and municipal leaderships.
