A total of 200 volunteers worked for the fourth Global Wuxi Business Conference from May 17 to 19 to guarantee its order and offer assistance to participants.

The volunteer team was made up of 130 college students, 10 English teachers, 20 emergency workers from the Red Cross and members from public benefit organizations such as Blue Sky Rescue, volunteer motorcades and a city photography club.

"I walked 29,185 steps within this hotel yesterday!" said Liu Zijian, apparently pleased with himself.

Liu is a sophomore from Taihu University of Wuxi and member of the school's Youth Volunteer Union. He took part in the "signing and guiding" volunteer group. Despite doing the repetitive work for 16 hours, Liu said that a single "thank you" made it all worthwhile.

Hua Rongzhen, an English teacher from the same school, who, unlike Liu, has not done much voluntary work, served as a VIP translator.

"I value this opportunity so much; it's all about giving back," said Hua.
