Volunteers at work to ensure events run smoothly

Li Shuo is accustomed to sleeping in most mornings, but in recent months she has become an early riser and each morning she can be seen working out on the fields of her university campus.

The reason she is exercising is not to lose weight to wear beautiful clothing, but because she will work at the 22nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting to be held in Beijing from Nov 5 through 11.

Li is one of 2,280 volunteers selected from some 8,000 students at 23 Beijing universities to assist participants during the weeklong event.
