Volunteers prepare to welcome import expo guests in Shanghai

With first China International Import Expo around the corner, volunteers, after finishing their training began working on a trial operation since Tuesday.

Yang Yu is one of them. According to Yang, the group members have to get up before dawn to take a two-hour bus ride to work, as the school is far from the expo venue, and go back to school at around 8 pm after working all the day. But everyone is determined to work their best, Yang added.

The expo, scheduled for Nov 5-10 in Shanghai, will see the participation of over 130 countries and regions, and more than 2,800 companies.
