QUITO, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- Ecuadorian newspaper, El Comercio,
said Wednesday that numerous young Chinese volunteers serving the
ongoing Beijing Olympics have formed an impressive scene in the
city, and are presenting China's new image to the world.
   Some 100,000 volunteers in blue T-shirts are working at every
corner of Beijing. Some are helping with security check at sports
venues, others  are directing passengers at subway stations, still
others are offering language service to foreign tourists, the
newspaper said in an article.
   These volunteers, mostly college students at their 20s, seem
energetic and capable of everything. With friendly smiles forever
on their faces, they offer every possible service to foreign
athletes and visitors.
   The world is impressed by the host country's strong momentum in
collecting gold medals, its magnificent sports venues and wide use
of hi-tech, but undoubtedly the young volunteers have left the
world people an equally fond memory. They are the best image
ambassadors for a rapidly rising China, said the paper.
   A female Olympic volunteer, who is a student from China Foreign
Affairs University, said during a brief interview by the paper
that she is proud of being able to do her share for her country
though her daily workload of 10 hours is hard indeed, but she will
always treasure that unique experience in her life.
